I would go Parise as well. He's playing with Kovalchuk this year, no?

Fantasy hockey, you go for the riskier, bigger reward player. You don't win by being conservative.

Berglund or Backes paired with Stewart? I heard Berglund but I don't know for sure.

 

[Stumpy]

I drafted last night in a 12-team league and am very happy with the results. My defence and second/third-tier forwards are a little weak, but my top couple skaters should pick up the slack and goaltenders should dominate.

C - Kesler
C - Tavares
C - Plekanec
LW - D. Sedin
LW - Burrows
RW - Kovalchuk
RW - Pominville
LW/RW - Cole
D - Burns
D - Karlsson
D - Myers
D - Timonen
D - Meszaros
G - Luongo
G - Rinne
G - Theodore

Last I heard it was Oshie-Berglund-Stewart.

Thanks! Draft tonight... Berglund will be on my wish list in the later rounds.

 

[maplesyrup]

Well, here's how it went...

4th: Stamkos
15th: Crosby
22nd: Tavares
33rd: Roy
40th: Gaborik
51st: Hall
58th: Kesler
69th: Havlat
76th: Berglund
87th: Letang
94th: Doughty
105th: E. Kane
112th: Little
123rd: Enstrom

I mean come on... I took obvious risks but guys let anyone with as much as a scuffed knees slide. I mean, the rewards here I feel are just too good to pass up... and did I just get 60% of the Jet's 1st PP unit with my last three picks?  8)

Anyhoo, fire away if you think I drafted anyone too high here.

Not crazy about Kane or Little, but other than that I think you did very well here. Doughty and Letang that low seem like absolute steals. Even Enstrom went very low. Crosby is a perfect pick at 15 as far as I'm concerned.

My only question is what about goalies? Or does your league not count them?

Just straight points and no goalies (nothing fancy.) Thanks for the feedback.

 

[Number 5]

So I've been asked to join a pool, and their draft is in about 6 hours...anyone know of a place I can grab some lists of players, that I can track who's been taken, etc.?

 

[Number 5]

No?

Ah, well....I'll just print out a player list from NHL.com or something. Thanks anyway.

 

[Kessel Run]

Most drafts I've been in (Yahoo, TSN, ESPN) have player lists and rankings already included.

 

[Number 5]

So i have the opportunity to trade a single player from my roster...

Here's my current roster:

Backstom
Datsyuk
Franzen
Horton
Ladd
Dubinsky
Alfredsson
Connolly
Wheeler
Gionta

Weber
Chara

Washington (GA work against my totals)


I'm considering dropping Dubinsky or Ladd, and picking up Landeskog, Ryder, or maybe Michalek. (best available in remaining pool).

Thoughts?

What are you holding on to Connolly for?

 

[Number 5]

Hope?

We were getting down in the list of remaining players, it was late, and I thought at the time I should pick at least one Leaf?

Yeah I get that at the start of the year he could have gone either way - but whats he still doing on your team?

We only get one move, so I have to make it a good one. I'd been hoping he came back and lasted more than a couple of shifts, you know? If he was on, he'd be worth it. I figured folks would question Dubinsky before Connolly!
