Streit, Faulk, Enstrom, Leddy, A Larsson
Hey guys I'm looking to compete for the win this season when it ever starts, and OEL is currently my only D-man so my blueline needs bolstering. Luckily I will have a shot at lots of quality guys in the draft.
That being said, my problem now is choosing which guys to target.
Streit - an older guy with some recent injury issues that scare me, are his best days behind him?
Faulk - will he produce enough now to make him worthwhile, can his upside compete with the others?
Enstrom - recent injury issues, smaller guy, bad team?
Leddy - enough upside to warrant taking over proven talent?
Then there are also some other guys available:
A Larsson, Hamilton, Hedman, Visnovsky, Goligoski, E Johnson, Giordano, Gardiner, B Smith, Voynov, and a handful of others. As you can see its a deep draft.
Any names jumping out at anybody as obvious?

I would want Enstrom followed by Goligoski.
Competing this year - I want Streit. 47 points after a year off was pretty impressive. I could see him back to 50+ (pro-rata of course). Enstrom is second on my list, and could actually surpass Streit, so wouldn't argue if he was chosen instead. Goligoski is a sneaky pick and I think may fall a bit under the radar so I would consider getting him as well depending on your needs at the time in the draft.
EDIT: Just noticed your sig, are you dropping Doughty for OEL? Ballsy move. I would probably keep Doughty instead. Ok, I see it's salaries so don't have experience in such leagues so could be good reason there.

Leddy
I'm big on Streit, I think I may have reached for him in the DobberEntry league this year (or hf's RHRS, not sure which one). Goligoski is going to have a rebound year... I think. That DAL PP will be much, much, much improved. They were dismal last year. And Enstrom is Enstrom, one of the slickest passers in the NHL. Any of those three are great choices.
[ps. This is a salary league?]

What are your scoring cats?
Personally I'd pick Streit and not only because I'm this much of a homer. Yes, he's oldish and therefore probably a bit more injury prone than younger guys, but his shoulder injury from last season doesn't scare me. It was an accident, it has healed. So it's much less frightening than a chronic thing like groin issues or similar stuff....

I'm going with this list. It's close between Streit and Enstrom but Streit carries a bit more risk IMO.
I would stay away from Faulk given that he would not be a keeper. He only carries value as a keeper.

Thanks for the thoughts guys, yes its for my points-only salary cap league.
Therefore I can drop Doughty and there is a good chance he will not even get drafted. I will probably re-draft him because I love him, but 6 million dollar defensemen are not super attractive in our format.

Points only. First target shukd be Enstrom. As a another blogger mentioned he has short and long term value. If that doesn't work out, I would then target Goli and Streit.

enstrom will probably be underrated based on last season. any dman with 50+ point potential in a points only league is golden

Faulk
my top 5. nice group to choose from.
Hockey Pools? Too many to mention. Points only, salary cap and dynasty.
If its one type of league I know, it's cap leagues. So gimme Faulk here, especially since you've got a few big ticket forwards to compensate for. He is a potential 45 pt dman with a cap hit of only $900k for the next 2 seasons so the $/pt ratio could be huge.
Then Enstrom, Gardiner and Goli for me.
