SBriand 4 Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 Other sports boards have these and I use them all the time and figured we should have one as well. Post up your drafts, trades,etc for comments and advice.Took my first yahoo draft this morning, gotta get a couple in before Adams league just to get a feel. Fairly happy with my team. 12 person league, 2 C's, 2 RW's, 2 LW's, 4 D, 2 G, 4 BNCH. Scoring is standard G, A, +/-, PIM, PPP, SOG, W, GAA, S%, SO.1. (4) Zach Parise LW2. (21) Dion Phaneuf D3. (28) Eric Staal C4. (45) Chris Osgood G5. (52) Shea Weber D6. (69) David Booth LW7. (76) Phil Kessel RW8. (93) Andrei Markov D9. (100) John Tavares C10. (117) Chris Mason G11. (124) Jaroslav Spacek D12. (141) Ales Hemsky RW13. (148) Victor Hedman D14. (165) Ryane Clowe LW15. (172) Brooks Laich C16. (189) Mikhail Grabovski CTon of good talent left untouched so I should be moving and shaking things as the season nears. Link to post Share on other sites
Zach6668 513 Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 Parise 4th overall seems like an interesting pick... Lemaire is back coaching the Devils, and we know he hates offense. Link to post Share on other sites
SBriand 4 Posted September 4, 2009 Author Share Posted September 4, 2009 Parise 4th overall seems like an interesting pick... Lemaire is back coaching the Devils, and we know he hates offense.That was actually the yahoos pick since I forgot I had the draft and didn't get in until about 4 picks before my 2nd. First round went like this though...1. Alexander Ovechkin 2. Evgeni Malkin 3. Sidney Crosby 4. Zach Parise 5. Roberto Luongo 6. Ryan Getzlaf 7. Mike Green 8. Jarome Iginla 9. Evgeni Nabokov 10. Corey Perry 11. Vincent Lecavalier 12. Pavel DatsyukBeing the homer I am I would have taken Pavel at 4. Link to post Share on other sites

Ottawa_Biatch 288 Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 I think you made a huge mistake at Parise at #4 Link to post Share on other sites

ajs510 122 Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 I can't believe Tavares lasted that long, people were taking Stamkos last year in the 3rd and 4th rounds. Link to post Share on other sites

Ottawa_Biatch 288 Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 #4 is the worst place to pick. IMO, there are three players better then everybody else in the league, then there's the rest. Link to post Share on other sites
SBriand 4 Posted September 4, 2009 Author Share Posted September 4, 2009 That's absurd.I think he took Zherdev as well. Link to post Share on other sites
MapleLeafpoker 1,462 Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 #4 is the worst place to pick. IMO, there are three players better then everybody else in the league, then there's the rest.way to go out on a limb with that rather bold assertion. Link to post Share on other sites
Ottawa_Biatch 288 Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 Honestly, I think its the worst pick to have. I have Ovechkin, Crosby, and Malkin in the top 3, then a drop off. Who would you include in the top 3? Link to post Share on other sites

Who would you include in the top 3?you didnt understand my post. I think anyone with half a brain who follows fantasy hockey would agree, that the top 3 is by far better than anyone else.I was saying its not exactly a "IMO" thing. Link to post Share on other sites
serge 904 Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 you didnt understand my post. I think anyone with half a brain who follows fantasy hockey would agree, that the top 3 is by far better than anyone else.I was saying its not exactly a "IMO" thing. I will argue this a bit...In a pool like the AHL where goals matter more. Crosby's value shouldnt be anywhere close to Ovechkin's.As a matter of fact there were 20 guys with more goals.Guys like Parise, Kovalchuk had better overall numbers. As well a healthy Hossa and Gaborik would be more valuable. IMO..If you are a plus minus guy Crosby's plus 3 isnt anywhere close to the other top guys.Is Crosby one of the top 3 players in the league, for sure. Is he a top 3 fantasy guy, not close.

SBriand 4 Posted September 4, 2009 Author Share Posted September 4, 2009 again, I am a homer but I still feel confident that Pavs is a good number 4. After that I can see a drop off. Link to post Share on other sites
Ottawa_Biatch 288 Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 A better question would be, who is the better player Crosby or Ovechkin? Link to post Share on other sites
SBriand 4 Posted September 4, 2009 Author Share Posted September 4, 2009 A better question would be, who is the better player Crosby or Ovechkin?That is a good question. I might google it to see if anyone has ever broken it down. Link to post Share on other sites

Is he a top 3 fantasy guy, not close.your right, but we werent talking about an AHL style pool, ie assissts worth only half a point.Different pools, different players. It was just the 3 best players in the league to take in a pool comment. I guess I just assumed straight pts.In Steve's setup for example, a good case can be made for a player like Datsyuk, a very good +/- guy, as a solid 4th.The reason why Parise goes 4th in that pool is because he had a sick year in +/- in that format. I wouldnt take him 4th, but I get the computerized ranking to some degree. Link to post Share on other sites
rinswun 6 Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 worth offering parise for pavel steve, see if you can make it happen. its notoriously difficult to make trades in public leagues though i guess Link to post Share on other sites

SBriand 4 Posted September 4, 2009 Author Share Posted September 4, 2009 lol should have knownI just hope he sees yahoo's rankings (Parise 4 and Dats 10) and looks at the 45 goals and says, "what an idiot!" and clicks Accept Trade. Link to post Share on other sites
MapleLeafpoker 1,462 Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 correct...your hockey pool knowledge is unmatched..seriouslyWhy did we take you in the Ahl anyways??We dont need more Bobs I suck, just ask the FCHL guys.I haven't chosen 1 player in the farm draft that ever made my roster in the history of that pool.
