Piddle Duck 0 Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 What's wrong with the Jagr pick. Jagr is a BEAST! Link to post Share on other sites
Fubar The Sperm 1 Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 I'd like to know who your number 1 pick was cause none of those players are even top 10 in the NHL. Link to post Share on other sites
Piddle Duck 0 Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 I'd like to know who your number 1 pick was cause none of those players are even top 10 in the NHL.My guess is either Jagr(cause he is a BEAST) or more likely, St. Loius. Link to post Share on other sites

Piddle Duck 0 Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 I would guess that most of these players were available to pick in the 8th spot of the first round...ZetterbergDatsyukThortonAlfredssonSpezzaKovalchukLuongoLidstromIginlaHossaGaborikAnyone of those people would have been better than St Loius.

digitalmonkey 929 Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 I managed to get St. Louis with my 3rd pick in our Yahoo draft and that has 20 teams. Link to post Share on other sites
serge 904 Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 Maybe 7 goalies were picked ahead of him and he got Osgood..??Possible Link to post Share on other sites
7s7c 0 Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 I'll cross post this (read: hijack attempt) here. Thoughts?Just completed my fantasy draft. Have to defend my title from last season. 14 teams. Standard Yahoo categories (G/A/+-/PIM/PPP/GWG/W/GAA/SA%/SO)Goaltending is of utmost importance and all of them go quickly. I had the 9th pick overall out of 14 teams. Thoughts? I tried to cover most categories but +/- scares me a bit right now.1. (9) Jean-Sebastien Giguere 2. (20) Niklas Backstrom (G)3. (37) Marian Hossa 4. (48) Daniel Briere 5. (65) Thomas Vanek 6. (76) Dan Boyle 7. (93) Paul Kariya 8. (104) Patrick Marleau 9. (121) Lubomir Visnovsky 10. (132) Peter Mueller 11. (149) Sean Avery 12. (160) Drew Doughty 13. (177) Matt Carle 14. (188) Phil Kessel 15. (205) David Clarkson 16. (216) Andy McDonald 17. (233) Jonas Hiller 18. (244) Fabian Brunnstrom 19.

Speed Limit 0 Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 But I think the good news here is it's a 10 team league and A LOT of good players should be able to be picked up to help service his team. I'm sure there is some really decent depth out there. Link to post Share on other sites
runthemover 40 Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 good news is his goalies aren't awful. Osgood and Biron might not get a ton of starts but at least they'll be on top teams in their respective conferences. Khabi might be good if he gets traded.gagne could be quite good if he doesn't get injured again (good luck with that) Link to post Share on other sites

Piddle Duck 0 Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 It's almost like the OP hasn't watched hockey for 6 years and just up and decided he wanted a fantasy team today.I was just going to say this. I don't know why but I keep coming back to this topic looking at the lineup. 5-6 yrs ago this team had a good shot. Maybe this is a special league. You know, like a rookie only league but instead...
