Thanks Rick, awesome!

I suspect I did well in offensive/scoring (G, A, PPP, SOG) and sucked wind in the physical/sandpaper department (HITS, BLKS, PIM - basically anything that requires sacrificing one's body!). I suspect I did slightly above average in G cats, although a lot of it will depend on Hiller.

I will definitely be open to some trades part way through the season (although I usually like to let my team roll for a month or so).

I think I overcompensated for a poor offensive showing last year!

[Chili con Carne]

I am wondering how you fix a bad +/-, ugh!

Trade for Chara!

Goodness... my team really doesn't look too good in categories.
Well... if I'm last in pretty much all of GAA/SV%/W/SV... maybe I just start one goalie, pray for a great game (Elliott vs. Nashville?) and punt the W/SV categories.
Won't be enough for first, but maybe I can salvage a top three finish!!! LOL.

Is Vokoun a lock to be out for a long time... or could he be back in a month or two?

I actually wondered if that could ever be used as a strategy!?
As long as the prayer is answered you have 2/4 without a worry in the world haha

I remember in 2005, the doctors shut him right down for the season, pretty dangerous stuff this blood clotting, I can see him being out for a long time. But it's a guess.

PIM's and Blocks are your only soft categories - Saves is a little low but at midrange for the league.

[dooley89]

You know, one thing I did spot is that you are projected to win hits with about a 300 margin on the next guy and many, many more on others in the league. You can sure afford to swap out some of that for offense and still maintain your standing there. Winning by 1 and winning by 300 produce the same roto score.

Yeah I think I may have gone overkill on that - I figure PIM and even BLK could be good and maybe I overfocused on the dual-eligibility face off winners, without actually drafting a sole-center eligible player!

I also didnt keep track of the stats that my drafted players had last year (or are projected to have). Im guessing if I started adding up all of that I could have seen quite a difference between the G/A/PPP and the PIM/HIT etc.

Also, didnt really look too much into how many (x/amount) it would take to win (y/category) so maybe realizing I needed 250 goals to even compete would have helped lol

edit: taking luongo early and then taking shitty goalies was also probably not the smartest idea - what benefit is taking a goalie early if pavelec and a toronto maple leaf are dragging him down. damnit damnit damnit

Actually I don't think the numbers I came up with fairly indicate the quality of your team - Matt Martin and Smid might be the weakest of your picks - replace them with a couple of 20 goal, 30 assists with some sog and ppp and your numbers will swing dramatically.

You did a nice job of drafting for the most part.

Hmmmmm - it appears that we have the opposite shortcomings/strengths!!

Funny how that works huh?

[NoWayOut]

That list pretty much confirmed what I thought. I know I'm in a bad spot as far as goaltending goes. Best I can hope for there, as things stand now, is to finish top 5-7 in the ratios, but I'd be damn lucky to get 5 points combined total from the counting stats. I didn't even realize that everybody else was loading up on so many goalies. By the time I did...well, too damn late to do anything about it.

My feeling is my skaters will be average at best. Wayyy too many young unproven guys. I don't know why I always do that on draft day, but what's done is done. Here's hoping they all decide to take a massive step-up simultaneously.

call me

Most definitely!

I'm assuming I will be dead last in goalie categories this year. I only ended up drafting two goalies, and one of them is Ryan Miller.

I tried to draft my defense late outside of Karlsson, and that did work pretty well I think. But I wasn't able to draft the goalies to support it, and I don't know that my forwards will score enough to make up for my lack of offense from my defense.

Haha, nope... I got you beat.
Per shoeless spreadsheet... I should get about 8 of a total 56 points in goaltending categories!!! LOL.

I'm gonna get a first game shutout, take my 30pts (14/14/1/1) and go home.

Actually 5 cats are low for your the rest are good to excellent. You want Saves, Wins, +/-, SOG and PPP.
