First Post! How'd I do?

[derelicte]

Hello everyone. Been surfing the forums for a while and thought I'd finally crash the party. Would love anyone's input on my draft for this season.

One year, points only
8 teams
G, A, +/-, SOG, PPP, GWG, PIMs

I had third overall and was missing my 6th round pick from a trade last season

C
Stamkos
Kesler
B. Richards

LW
R. Nash (using as RW as well)
E. Kane
Pacioretty

RW
Eberle
Backes

D
E. Karlsson
Boyle
OEL
Visnovsky
Kronwall

G
Price
MAF
Ward

There are some pretty decent FAs available:
Ribeiro
Krecji
Pominville
Ladd
Galchenyuk
Huberdeau
Bergeron
Wheeler
JJ
McDonaugh
Franson
Ehrhoff
Wiz

Are any of these guys worth switching in and out with? Any advice is welcome!

Welcome!

Looks like a good team, although in 8-team leagues, every team is going to look pretty nice.

At first glance I might recommend swapping out B. Richards for P. Bergeron, mostly for his +/-.

What are your goalie cats and who are the FA goalies?

Welcome ! Congrat for your draft, it s pretty decent. There is some name there worth the watch : One of those : Wheeler, Huberdeau, Bergeron, Ribeiro, Krejci for B Richards.

And for the defensemen I would switch is JJ for Visnovsky.

Hope it helps !

Wins: 4 pnts
GA: -1
Saves: .2
SO: 2

FA goalies
Brodeur
Fasth
Halak/Elliot
Varlamov
Bernier
Mason/Emery

Ya I originally had Krecji for a better plus/minus but dropped him after reading Angus's Sleeper Pick for Richards lol. I might wait to see if he'll get some time with Nash as AV might give him a shot to get back on the Rangers good graces.

You should also post the lineup requirements, daily v. weekly starts and scoring values for skaters. At first glance I am stunned Wheeler, Krejci and Ribeiro are available on the wire. I prefer Wheeler over Pacioretty or Kesler unless your scoring is super funky.

First of all, welcome to the forum.

Good draft, solid team overall. Having said that, there is room to improve. For instance, existing FAs like Wheeler, Krejci, Pominville, Ribeiro and P Bergeron can be used to replace B Richards, although I can see why you are hestiating after Angus' column. Personally, I am not sold on him.

For goalies, you may want to stay put for now because none of FAs appear strong enough to replace your roster.

At present, it may be best to just stay put and watch the first few weeks of the season unfurl.

Good luck and all the best.

Nice first draft/post.

In your signature you should post all your league info and players. Therefore for all future posts people can always check out all the required info and you don't have to always repost it.

Good luck this season, have fun.
