Edm_Van 0 Posted September 20, 2005 Share Posted September 20, 2005 Hey guys. I did a draft a couple of weeks ago and just wanna know what you guys tihnk.Standard catergory, rotas. , and 12 player league.Here's my team:C V. Lecavalier (TB - C) CBench 32 34 23 52 14 6 C S. Crosby (Pit - C) CBench - - - - - - LW M. Naslund (Van - LW) LWBench 35 49 24 58 26 6 LW D. Sedin (Van - LW) LWBench 18 36 18 18 16 3 RW D. Heatley (Ott - RW) RWBench 13 12 -8 18 12 3 RW M.

Nedved (Pho - C) CBench 19 27 -8 46 17 3 Pos Goaltenders Edit Opp Status W GAA SV% SHO G M. Kiprusoff (Cgy - G) GBench 24 1.70 .933 4 G D. Cloutier (Van - G) GBench 33 2.27 .914 5 BN R. DiPietro (NYI - G) GBench 23 2.36 .911 5 I know I probably shouldn't have drafted 3 Pit d-man. I'm looking to trade away one of them but their rank just aren't very high even though I think they will improve a lot this year with the new team. Link to post Share on other sites
digitalmonkey 929 Posted September 20, 2005 Share Posted September 20, 2005 It's hard to offer advice not knowing what players are still available, but I would think there must be a better D-man left than Jackman. Link to post Share on other sites
ajs510 122 Posted September 20, 2005 Share Posted September 20, 2005 Nick Boynton hasn't signed yet, might want to take that into account. See if Derek Morris is still available, he seems to slip a lot of manager's minds when they're drafting their teams. I would take a long look at Defensive options, and see who went undrafted that you can replace Bure and possible Sedin with. I'd be willing to bet that Mogilny and Selanne are still out there somewhere just waiting for a smart manager to notice them. Possibly Kovalev as well. Scan the 3rd and 4th page of FA forwards, you'll see a lot of gems that no one else noticed. Post your league info, if it's public we can take a look at the FA list and be more helpful.

digitalmonkey 929 Posted September 20, 2005 Share Posted September 20, 2005 http://hockey.fantasysports.yahoo.com/hockey/29390this is the league i'm in and my team name is Ed_Vanthanks!Right off I see D. Kalinin, D. Morris and P. Brisebois are available. Any one of these three are improvements over Jackman. Remember, you are looking to take advantage of the constant parade to the penalty box and the way to do that is have players that will see powerplay time. Jackman will see very little with Gonchar and probably a forward playing the point on the Pittsburgh PP. Morris and Brisebois are solid picks and Kalinin is a sleeper.

MarionSauce 0 Posted September 20, 2005 Share Posted September 20, 2005 Hey, Yeah, get Kovalev, he is still avaliable and he will be really good with Koivu this year with MTL.As well, Kim Jonsson of the Flyers is a good D man, I believe he plays on the PP a lot, even though I don't know how the D lineup will change now with Hatcher in the picture.That's all I can find though.

digitalmonkey 929 Posted September 20, 2005 Share Posted September 20, 2005 I also see a lot of quality forwards still available. I'd pick B. Rolston, D. Langkow and A. Kovalev over Sedin or Bure. P. Turgeon should also be considered. ajs510 will be here soon praising R. Malone too! :-) Link to post Share on other sites
ajs510 122 Posted September 20, 2005 Share Posted September 20, 2005 That's pretty sad if I can predict what Free Agents are likely to have gone unnoticed sight unseen...Pick up Kovalev and Morris, drop Jackman and Bure. Your team will thank you Link to post Share on other sites

That K Jonsson is Kenny from the New York Islanders who probably won't even play.Kovalev is a must pick up though. Rolston will be on a line with Gaborik and Langkow will probably centre a line with Iginla. You have some nice options. Link to post Share on other sites
digitalmonkey 929 Posted September 20, 2005 Share Posted September 20, 2005 Zhamnov and Comrie are still available too! Link to post Share on other sites
ajs510 122 Posted September 20, 2005 Share Posted September 20, 2005 Zhamnov and Comrie are still available too!I'd be tempted to replace Nedved with Zhamnov, but that's a tough call. Comrie can rot. Link to post Share on other sites
Edm_Van 0 Posted September 20, 2005 Author Share Posted September 20, 2005 I just replaced Bure and Jackman with Kovalev and Morris. Do you guys think my team is any good? Link to post Share on other sites
ajs510 122 Posted September 20, 2005 Share Posted September 20, 2005 I just replaced Bure and Jackman with Kovalev and Morris. Do you guys think my team is any good?This is dark-horse advice, but I like the move:Drop Alexander Frolov (plays for the Kings, will be much worse this season than last) and pick up Mark Bell (plays for the Blackhawks, will be much better this season, and Bell has been hot in preseason). He's the Hawks second line center, will get you 40+ points, and will tack on at least 100 PIM (compared to less than 40 from Frolov), which you're very much in need of. Your team is looking good, but I haven't really picked apart the competition yet. Link to post Share on other sites
Edm_Van 0 Posted September 20, 2005 Author Share Posted September 20, 2005 That's a very interesting move. I'm gonna have to think hard about it for a while! Link to post Share on other sites
Kojak 0 Posted September 20, 2005 Share Posted September 20, 2005 I gotta agree with Brisebois and possibly Mark Bell. Although I would take Czerkawski as he will be playing for the Stanley Cup Champions next year. Keep an eye on Peca too. Link to post Share on other sites
