Disbursal Draft

[rikkitikki]

We are currently doing a dispersal draft in my league 24 Players plus 6 prospects per team 18 teams. My team is in the sig.

Stats are
G,A,Pts,SOG,STP, FOW,PIM, +/-, Hits, Blocks
Saves, Shutouts, wins, GAA, SV%

I have the 5th overall pick and 32nd pick. (Only two rounds can't trade picks)

Players available
Rinne, Keith, Lack, Voracek, Simmons, Suter, Marchand, Coyle, Markov, Gaborik, Pearson, Strome, Remier

What order would you pick in? As you see I am short two wingers, so I am leaning towards a winger, but with the number of goalie stats goalies are also important.

I have Forsberg and Morin which can probably be moved up to the main team if I get help elsewhere. Prospect draft occurs after this draft and I don't pick until 15th.

Any thoughts would be useful.

Rinne. A lot of people are undervaluing him but less than a year ago he was a consensus top 3. I have him and I'm very excited about the coming season. New coach, little more offensive squad=more wins and after a full off season he will be in top shape. He's also only 31. After that I would try Voracek or Simmonds. Voracek is Girouxs main guy and Simmonds obviously multi cat stud. Just my thoughts.

I think Rinne is risky, his injury could have a Ryan Miller-like impact, but he also offers you the most upside by far.

Do you only start 1 goalie? If you started 2 goalies, Rinne would be a no brainer, 1 goalie, he's less valuable, but I still think I take him here. Voracek and Simmonds come in as my next few choices, probably Gaborik as well, followed by Kieth and Suter.

[rikkitikki]

We only start 1 goalie but lineups are changed daily and given the number of goalie categories having two is a good idea. So it's looking like
1 Rinne
2 Voracek
3. Simmonds
4. Gaborik
5. Keith

I'm surprised at Gaborik that high given his age and standard amount of games played. Any thoughts on Lack? Do people see him as being the starter in Van? What do people think Coyle's/Strome's upside is?

[austeane]

I would put Lack at 4th. I would drop Gaborik off.
Lack won't get a tonne of wins.
