I would rank them like this, I think:
Kunitz
Pavelski
Pacioretti
Thornton
Johansson
Spezza
This is for this season only. Long term Johansson would be higher on my list.
I will take a G with my first pick. I expect all or most of these forwards to be available with my second pick, points only, limited keeper:
Thornton - still 70 points, but limited keeper and trade value due to age
Pavelski - Would be my choice here if I knew he could get 75; I expect 65.
Spezza - injuries scare me, but does he have 80 point upside?
Pacioretti - 65 pointer IMO, and HUGE trade value in a pool dominated by Habs fans. Has the most leverage of all other players.
Johansson - Does he play this year? He will be a good keeper, but how good - consistent 70s? 80s? 90 upside?
Kunitz - My grandmother could score 70 next to Crosby.

Wow! I don't really get all the love for Kunitz. He would probably have been one of the lower ones on my list. Do I need to re-assess?
Appreciate the feedback - keep it coming!

I think Kunitz has easily the best chance at 70 points out of that group, and an outside shot at 80.

My first keeper draft is coming up this weekend. Where do goalies normally get picked? Sorry if i'm asking this in the wrong place!
