For a 11-team league and points only it doesn't seem like that strong of a team to me.

I'm looking at your roster and just trying to piece together where you selected everyone...

Sedin (1?), Howard (2?), Ryan (3?), Semin (4?) Perry (5?) Gonchar (6?)... I dunno if that's a Yahoo! draft I would think that you'd be able to come out with a much strong team than that even if it's points only...

I dunno a few of your late rounders like Oshie, Filppula, Whitney... probably don't belong on a 11-teamer. Maybe post a few of the WW players that's available in each position and maybe we can suggest to you some swaps?

On WW you got guys like Vrbata, Eric Cole, Lupul, Bolland, Modano, etc. I took a risk hoping at least one breakout season from a center. The later picks are just going to sit on the bench mostly unless things change of course. I invested more heavily on wingers.

any one else? it would help me justify these choices, based the other teams in my pool i hope to have a shot this year.

Personally, I'm not a huge fan of Sedin at 6, but I could very well be wrong.

Semin could go either way. It's his contract year, so he could blow up... on the other hand, he is an injury risk and he doesn't seem to be the most motivated of players.

I like the Oshie/Bozak picks though.

Henrik, yeah...i know...but i'm hoping he can have another huge season and my slight bias also extends from the fact i live in Vancouver too lol

One of my concerns is my 3rd goalie...i got Michael Leighton dead last but on the waiver wire is Jonas Gustavsson, Tim Thomas, Nikolai Khabibulin, Chris Mason, then it starts to thin out after that.

Center may hurt me if my lower drafted centers as you mentioned in Oshie & Bozak don't turn out this year. Tim Connolly isn't the worst in the world but 276 players were drafted in our league, leaving very little left to swap for.

I don't like any of those goalies. Are Bernier or Neuvirth available?

Nope, both of them are taken...talent pool is extremely thin now...i guess i can wait and hope ML regains the #1 spot in Philly once he returns

I would of gone D.Sedin or Parise at 6 and then either came back with a top goalie(hopefully start a goalie rush) or Ryan Getzlaf.

Right wingers in Yahoo are much easier to find than left wingers.

Id move Sedin if I were you and try to get some depth and improve your goalie situation.

I'm not sure if i want to deal my first pick to add a 3rd goalie, but if my depth lacks anywhere it's at center so i may try there. I have 164 goalie games to fill and hopefully with wins lol
