InsanityCubed 0 Posted September 7, 2007 Share Posted September 7, 2007 My first draft of the season, standard Yahoo rotisserie league, twelve teams. Players in draft order, I had the 8th pick.Alexander Ovechkin, LWJ.S. Giguere, GChris Pronger, DThomas Vanek, LW (I know, two LWs, but I can't pass on him here)Michael Cammalleri, C (early?)Martin Havlat, RWJay Boumeester, DMichael Nylander, C Brian Rafalski, DZach Parise, LWDwayne Roloson, GJason Pominville, RWMattias Ohlund, DDavid Legwand, CDainius Zubrus, RWRobyn Regehr, DI haven't played fantasy hockey for a couple years, as I like to rotate my fantasy sports to maintain some sort of a life. Baseball I play sporadically, but I rotate Hockey, Football, and Basketball from year to year. At the time, I liked my team, but I'm starting to think I was a little rusty. I think I'm light on PIM, and I'm considering dropping someone for Huet (who was dropped by someone else for reasons I can't figure out). Thoughts? Link to post Share on other sites
ajs510 122 Posted September 7, 2007 Share Posted September 7, 2007 I think I'm light on PIM, and I'm considering dropping someone for Huet (who was dropped by someone else for reasons I can't figure out). Thoughts?Nice lookin team, and it's painfully obvious that no one else in your league knows what they're doing...which is always nice. No way Vanek should have still been out there in the 4th round, he's a points and +/- machine. I wouldn't personally take Huet, as I see Carey Price making a strong case for the starting job in Montreal straight out of the gate. Wait till after camp to see if he sticks or not, he doesn't have much else to prove in the minors after winning the Calder Cup for Hamilton. Nylander will get you at least 60 assists setting up Ovechkin all season, and probably 25 goals on top.Overall, very strong team, but if there's a better option than Regehr you should probably take it. He's not much of a fantasy horse, there almost has to be someone better. Link to post Share on other sites
Zach6668 513 Posted September 7, 2007 Share Posted September 7, 2007 I'm okay with the Camalleri pick.He's been soooooo far under the radar. Link to post Share on other sites
ajs510 122 Posted September 7, 2007 Share Posted September 7, 2007 I'm okay with the Camalleri pick.He's been soooooo far under the radar.I'm ok with the pick too, but considering that Nylander and Havlat were still available there, makes me wonder who else was too...Cammy could go either way, he put up a lot of goals and points last season but kinda got screwed by the team and the arbitrators, plus the Kings have brought in quite a lot of offense in the off season. If he's still a top scoring option *and* if his head/heart are in the right place, he'll put up big numbers again this year. Personally, I think he might tail off a bit. I need to just stop talking between now and the FCP draft. Link to post Share on other sites
Zach6668 513 Posted September 7, 2007 Share Posted September 7, 2007 Ya, I didn't bother to look at who else was available.I'd be happy with Camallari as my 4th rounder in a 20 team league like the FCP one, I think. Link to post Share on other sites
SilverSeven 0 Posted September 7, 2007 Share Posted September 7, 2007 I'm in a 16-team, 17-player keeper league. We do weekly scoring with significant points attributed for PPP and +/-. Weekly rosters are 2C, 4W, 4D and 2G. We keep either 4 skaters or 2 skaters + 1 goalie. Goalies are very important in our pool as only a few teams have 2 solid options. Pretty much everyone picks a goalie in the first round of the draft.Here are my keeper options, the rest of my roster is pretty much serviceable junk :C - Richards TBC - Staal PITW - Heatley OTTW - Morrow DALD - Redden OTTG - Lundqvist NYRSo my first idea since last spring is to go with Heatley - Richards - Redden - Staal. But that's kind of weak because there is so much depth at center as we only have 2 starters compared to wingers. I'm expecting Morrow to have a huge rebound season, I picked him pretty early last year and was obv disappointed with him getting injured. So I'm really torn between keeping Morrow or Staal.Now my other option is to keep Lundqvist and go with either Heatley and Redden or Heatley and Richards. I absolutely hate letting go of either one, but I can't see myself heading into the draft without a d-man, so I'm leaning more towards Redden.Thoughts / predictions on Richards - Staal - Morrow - Redden ??? Oh yeah, I also have C - Parise NJ and W - Brunette COL. On my depth chart, Staal > Parise and Morrow > Brunette.Discuss. Link to post Share on other sites

He's not much of a fantasy horse, there almost has to be someone better.Yeah, Mats Sundin was a second round pick, around 20th overall I think, enough said.Exactly my thoughts on Huet, how can the Habs not give Price a shot? With a league full of idiots, I should be able to snap him up when he does get the job.I only picked Regehr for PIM, but apparently he's cut down more than I thought (+27 isn't bad though).I'll peruse the waiver wire for a better option.Edit - Thinking of grabbing Shane O'Brian, tons of PIM, should get more ice time in Tampa, may even see the PP behind Boyle.Havlat 5th round could = steal.I'm not giddy about him, since his groin will probably fall apart in training camp, but I needed a RW, and he was clearly the best available.Must be nice to be in a league where everyone you're drafting against is a moron.
