Post Draft - Happy with my F and G, D plan stunk

[Robbie35]

I was hoping for a few D fallers, and waited too long ... after losing on Heiskanen by 1 pick in our first round (post keepers) I changed my plan as I wasn't in love with any other D as much.

Looking at the 'undrafted', and that I can stash Svech for a couple days on IR, who should I add that was missed by all drafting:

D: Sandin, Weegar/Hanafin, Miller, Clarke, Power

Or...

F: Jarvis, Bertuzzi, Bennett, Perfetti, McTavish, Kuznetsov (I know, I know), Boeser

How many do you start on defense?

[Robbie35]

Start 5 F, 3 D, 1 UTIL and 1 G

Had Sanderson up there, but someone beat me to him.

FWIW, based on yahoo projections (meh) ... the D I posted rank as such based on our scoring:

Rasmus Sandin WSH - D
278.85pts

MacKenzie Weegar CGY - D
251.85pts

K'Andre Miller NYR - D
250.45pts

Owen Power BUF - D
249.25pts

Noah Hanifin CGY - D
228.55pts

Definitely feels like you have more F than you can even use. Would be good to have a rotational defenseman. I like Power here.

[Robbie35]

Ya, I normally stock the cupboards early and see who comes out flying.

Thanks on Power … each of the names give me some hesitation based on exposure to things like PP.

Also deep down in the wire are Byram (if we think he can play games), Fowler, Drysdale (when/if he signs), Valimaki
