If Team #1 goes OV... Team #2 goes Crosby.
That's a skater for team #1... skater for team #2.
That means... on the way back, they are looking for a Goalie, yes?
So do NOT let goalies slide, its likely that at LEAST two and possibly FOUR goalies will be taken by those GMs in the four picks between your 2nd/3rd round picks.
If you take a goalie, it further puts premium on that position... both teams may go G-G... which could mean that BPA skater for your 2nd round will STILL be there for your 3rd round! Nice, huh?
[praba got a bit lucky, IMO, in that TeamOV went D/F with his picks - where TeamOV SHOULD have gone Goalie-Goalie and could have taken Rask/Schneider off the board... instead he went Malkin/OEL, big mistake, IMO.]
All draft long, keep an eye on Teams #1 or Team #2.
If they need D coming back towards you guys... you take your D first...
Study praba's draft.
You'll see a huge run on goalies in start of 3rd round: Schneider, Rask, Dubnyk, Gibson, Bob.
Those guys will go AT THE TURN, inside your pick, if you don't take them.
Personally, I think Rask will be back to being a workhorse this year.
I like him a tad over Schneider with Wins scoring at what it is.
Holtby/Rask/BPA-Skater.... skater, skater, skater, skater
If you have time...
IF you have time...
Make yourself a weekly team grid so you can get OUT OF THE GATES fast at forward.
Find out which teams play a LOT in your first 2-3 weeks.
We did this last year... it was like NYR or LA or something...
That way you don't have to go to the waiver wire.
Your last 3-4 rounds should basically be prep-work for H2H matches #1, #2, #3.
