damn, nice team. shatters in the 8th round, and bob 17th? good job
hank should get some good points with loui, and ladd could take off beside tavares.
I am debating where to target ghost, that gives me a good idea.

then i stopped keeping track. lol too much work keeping track of it all

[Eskimo Brother]

Looks pretty solid. Allen seems a touch early to me, but looking at the rest of the picks he doesn't look hugely out of place. A lot of picks that could very well turn out as steals.
Nyqvist is the only one I'm not a fan of, but who knows, maybe he proves me wrong this year. A lot of others seem to like him.
Best of luck

When I picked allen all the other top goalies were picked an i panicked a little. top goalies available at the time were Allen, Gibson, Schnieder, Rask, Dubnyk and i went with Allen

[Eskimo Brother]

Completely fair.
Honestly at that point I may have even gone Giroux and then taken whoever was left of those goalies with my third pick. So it worked out the same for you anyways.
Also am I just missing Schneider, or did he not get picked until 70 or later?

he was picked after 70. i think in the 5th or 6th round. i was keeping track then the draft was going by so fast it was hard to keep up lol

[Torontos #2 Fan]

Jesus. Why everyone start nabbing Goalies right off the get go? Nice team though. That's one thing that drives me nuts about pools is when someone takes a goalie everyone starts taking them lol. Good luck this year.

I couldnt believe it. Before i knew it, it was up to me to pick and Crosby was still there lol

[StuntMan12]

only regret i have is maybe getting the Ghost is round 5. D men were going like crazy and I didn't have one so I snagged him. Then after that a not many d men were taken. In the 8th round I got Shatts, and Faulk was still there too. With my Ghost pick I could have got a guy like Spezza or T Johnson and then got Faulk in the later rounds but like they say hindsight is 20/20

I give this team a big thumbs up.
Looking at your draft... I take a look at the 10 picks after yours and ask "Could you have picked somebody better?"
For the most part - no, I think you got the right guy.

The team is a bit young, gotta hope & pray that one of Duclair & Nyquist & Aho pan out.
If I had gotten Crosby at #5 (!!! awesome !!!) I probably would've settled into a more conservative route.

Overall, you got Jake Allen... just before goalie quality fell off a cliff (C.Anderson).
That'a great, great thing.

I'd have to peg you as Top 3 (in 16).
Well done! Great work! Keep us posted on how it goes!!!

[ps. Bob is a nice handcuff as a value-pick in round 17.]

thanks pengwin. only spot i could have did better was where I picked Ghost, i could have either had

Ghost, Ladd
or
Faulk, Spezza (if i look spezza in the round i got Ghost and taken Faulk in round 9 where he eventually got taken)

i guess that doesn't look so bad either way

[StuntMan12]

Nichushkin was taken in the 17th round
