NHL Fantasy League - The Draft

Imran is picking very well, IMO.

I kinda disagree.

He picked Sundin pretty high when hes gonna be on a weaker team, and Cloutier, who really isnt that spectacular. I woulda picked a good handful of goalies ahead of him.

but thats just my humble opinion. The final results will tell the tale.

He was until Cloutier.

Bah! Cloutier will have a low 2ish GPA and good save% by backstopping Vancouver. I think the Canucks will be just as good as they were last year and that leads to a decent year for Cloutier, IMO (usually good teams help out the goaltender)

Oh, and Ninot, I picked Sundin higher because he'd be gone by the time I'd come around again (thus making me take someone too high) and Centers drop off (IMO) far faster than LW, RW or D.

I still dont think hes a top 10 center anymore tho. I could think of atleast a handful i'd pick first. I won't name them though, because I wouldnt wanna affect the draft.

[Imran Siddiqui]

Not Top 10? You have to be insane, IMO, at least.

[Guynemer]

I gave serious consideration to taking Sundin with my last pick; he was at the top of my list for round three. Nicely done, Imran.

I'm surprised Esche was picked so late.

Sundin will probably play with O'Neil and Czerkawski. Those our better wingers than a lot of the wingers Sundin has played with in the past. So while the team has question marks, the SOC line should be piling up the goals, particularly with Lindros and Allison on the other lines.

Definitely a smart pick by Imran.

Cloutier, on the other hand...

Damn... bad news, Sava has been banned . He PMed me saying it was two weeks. I'll try to see if we can work something out with him (ie, someone PM him the list when it's his turn and he can PM someone back) or something.

[Imran Siddiqui]

Btw, I knew I'd get flack for Cloutier . Brent Johnson be dammed, Cloutier will start most of the games and I expect similar numbers to last season (where he was one of the highest ranked G according to our rankings).

And if I'm wrong, well, two smart picks out of my top 3 isn't too bad .

[Imran Siddiqui]

Ok, so about Sava. He'll keep up with the thread and will PM someone online his next pick. So beware!

I just talked to him over at Eventis. I'll relay his picks for him.

[notyoueither]

He should PM whoever's on and paying attention.
