AHL- Apolyton Hockey League 07/08: Draft II

[Asher]

Because while he does have nice PPG/PPA numbers, other skaters have better and without his huge baggage. He is also VERY unlikely to have higher output, especially on a glorified AAA-level team like the Oilers.

In a daily league I don't see why you wouldn't take him reasonably early (like nowish). As long as you're carrying 3 D's anyway, you can play him at mid week where you're either easily winning or easily losing +/-, or really need the extra stat, or in days where he's playing someone unlikely to score (or likely to give up points).

1. This isn't baseball. There are no 5 or 6 game weeks.

2. He set a record last year and there are doubts he could repeat under ideal circumstances.

3. He went from one of the best PP teams in the league last year to the team with fewest goals scored last year.

4. Add on his +/-

5. Recipe for Boo or nye to grab him in the 14th round. Leave him alone, you *****es!

Come on, Ninot. We realise McCabe is hard to replace, but we see you lurking. If you make your pick soonish I can post Guy's and then Tingkai, Guy and you can wrap it early in the AM.

[Ninot]

I only got PM'd now

It has been moving pretty well .

I haven`t settled on my next pick but will be back in the morning. Heck the Zubov pick was basically done on 30 seconds reflection while juggling a one year old

Let's keep it going.

My fault--- I tend to check here before PMs so forget they may be important for some. Plus I was was busy with an active toddler-- Apologies again

My next pick sent to NYE and asher nbut I have not decided on alternates-- I`ll be back in about 6 hours -- Based on the last couple of nights, it usually doesn`t get back to me before then anyway

[notyoueither]

I'll be signing off PDQ as well.

It's over to the morning shift.

However, I will say we are through 6.x rounds in 4.y days. At this rate we can all enjoy the last couple days of preseason and eat popcorn while the British get an introduction to a real sport.

Keep it going!

Some interesting picks.

Asher taking McCabe? Got to give him credit for putting emotion aside to make the pick, but just picking the next guy on the Yahoo ranking list is not the best strategy.

[snoopy369]

I think Selanne is the next guy on the Yahoo ranking still...
