Another Draft Thread

[hollywoodshowcase]

Just completed my draft and was looking for some feedback/areas of improvement.

12 Team Yahoo League.

G,A, +/-, PIM, PPP, SHP, GWG, SOG, FW, HIT, BLK
GS, W, GAA, SV, SV%, SH

I picked 3rd. My initial thoughts are that I don't like my LW and I reached for goalies a little too early.

Ovechkin
Bobrovsky
Crawford
Backstrom
Simmonds
D. Sedin
H. Sedin
Shattenkirk
Giordano
Little
Nugent Hopkins
Carlson
Brown
Cammalleri
Trouba
Jake Allen
Craig Smith

I think you have a good team for a 12 team league. I'll add this : I love that you got two "elite duo". Sedins & Ovi-Back. You will do good in the offensive cats because of this IMO.

I would try to find a way to add a Matt Martin type of player to boost up hit. You do have some good hitters in Ovi-Simmonds-Giordano-Brown but you do own a lot of "soft" players like Backstrom-Sedins-RNH-Cammy. Anyway without looking at other teams, I feel like you have a top3 team in a 12 team league.

Taking Bob and Crow that soon was a little premature but the fact that Backstrom slid makes it alright in my opinion.
You may find some people saying that with so many forward categories you should have stacked D as mediocre goalies could have pulled off Gs/Sv and maybe W.
Looks like you might be OK in HITS as yougo mentioned, all depends on other guys teams' - same with FW - what are some other core players like?

Seeing Bobrovsky go before Crawford makes it look like you grabbed him too early, although we can't tell if you reached for goalies too early in general unless we know when some others were selected. But I'm actually not against grabbing two goalies in your first three picks if this was a snake draft, which in turn would mean your fourth round selection was 46th overall.

I also think you grabbed the Sedins too early, if only based on the fact that you could grab Little three rounds later.

Your late round picks seem decent, and I like how your defensemen look in that you balanced out some one dimensional guys with several multi-cat types.

On paper you also seem to be hurting in goal scoring, as unless I'm missing something only one of your guys (Simmonds) even finished in the top 50 goal scorers for 2013-14.

If I'm being honest I have to peg this team to finish in the middle or even bottom half of your league. Sorry - I hope I'm wrong.

Thanks to you all for the feedback. I am a little concerned about goal scoring but think I have a few players who will improve on last years totals like Sedin and Cammalleri.

Where did Ovechkin finish in goal scoring last year? He drafted him as well.

Fairly unique league setup in all of the categories you have selected. That's way more than your typical league.

It's funny I hate you taking goalies in rounds 2-3 but love the Backstrom-Simmonds-Sedin-Sedin picks and think they make up for reaching on goalies. I also think you have some really nice subtle value in your D-men. They're not big names but they are big value.

Overall I think you have a top-4 team but with that many categories I'm not as sure as in a standard league.
