I'm assuming this is the Fleury she meant. Not Theo.

[Asher]

Maybe I should've prepared a list. I'm waffling randomly between about 5 players.

Injury risk, but I can't resist his points per game. And his linemate is okay.

[Sparrowhawk]

2.7 Asher - Alexander Semin (RW) WSH

Must...............resist............the.......... ..urge...........to..........comment......

[Asher]

Go on, say it.

[Imran Siddiqui]

That was a very good pick, Imran.

Thanks!

You never know, this fantasy draft may be the thing that gets me back into hockey. It's all your fault . Though we have to do something in the US about having games on Verses instead of ESPN

[notyoueither]

It makes it a lot more fun to have a star from the home team on your roster. Brodeur in the 1st is a risk due to age and injury last year, but you'll have more fun.

Zeke got a C designation, after starting as a LW in previous years. He'll play all over and probably end up C-RW-LW. And Hossa is gone, so he'll likely spend more time with Datsyuk as well as getting more ice time, period. I was really hoping he'd make it back to me.

[Asher]

I was definitely going to get him if he was around by me.

I'm still kind of upset with the Semin pick. I always have had a sure-fire #1 forward before, Semin's a bit of a risk.

[notyoueither]

I had him ranked ahead of Kovalchuk on math from last year.

I grabbed Kovy based on years of performance.

Ovie's and Green's playmate was hard to pass up though.

[Sparrowhawk]

I am going to sleep now with 13 picks until my next pick, but I have limited online time tomorrow during work hours, will try to check at lunch hour (central) but if not then, for sure after work..........I think I should be okay though

[notyoueither]

Did Sparrowhawk just reserve the rights to Tie Domi?

Well the second round thus far have certainly validated my choice/ need to take a goalie-- There are still some good ones left though.

Asher-- does this qualify as a run on goalies yet? Given our rules I see this as expected but 6 of 9 lately have been goalies and the only 3 managers without a goaltender are the 3 managers to come (the owners of Ovechkin, Malkin and Crosby) I suspect that each of them will choose a goalie with their second or third round pick but who knows maybe someone will say screw it and go for scoring and hope that later drafters won't start picking off the goalies in the fourth round as quality backups
