Lindholm at 13 is a joke. It would be one thing if he had a so-so season, but he's been doing great against men in the SEL. He's top five, no doubt about it.

GO WINGS!
Straight Points keeper league. Keep 5 Forwards,3 defence,1 goalie.
F: Nicklas Backstrom, Joe Thornton, Henrik Zetterberg, Zach Parise, Logan Couture
D: Erik Karlsson, Alex Pietrangelo, Oliver Ekman-Larsson
G: Sergei Bobrovsky
I like his top 4 however having Lindholm at 13??? Common. Anyways also see Domi coming off the board higher than this list indicates. Be interesting to see if Slepyshev gets picked this year. Of course he is good enough to be plucked at #43 but there has to be way too much risk in that kid (seeing teams avoided him entirely last June) for him to go that high this year.
13 team Roto keeper league 12 F, 6D, 2G, G,A,+/-, PIMS, Hits, TOI(D), GAA, SV%, (Forwards are forwards, no distinction between L,R,C)
F) Ovechkin, Stamkos, Kunitz, Parise, Byfuglien, Backstrom, Little, Gaudreau, Hudler, Brassard, Girgensons, Nelson
D) S. Weber, Phaneuf, Subban, Carlson, Josi, Vatanen
G) Rask, Jones

Lindholm a joke as others have said, Artturi Lehkonen is going to be top 10 by years end, Morrissey at 11 and Ristolainen at 5 are perfecrt. Rychel, Domi way to low....

grammar Nazi
Noun
(slang, idiomatic) 1. A person who habitually corrects or criticizes the language usage of others, especially in situations where it is unnecessary, e.g. an informal conversation.
Notes: This behavior is almost always found in people with very low I.Q's, whom have a very low sense of self worth. Impotence is also commonly linked to Grammar Nazi's.
I didn't read his reasoning for how he made the list, but I think Domi is falling because of his size. Smaller guys keep getting picked later and later each draft. It's not always warranted.
I was surprised last year to see slepyshev not get picked. He's got the talent, but the Russian factor is huge with him. He's worth a late 2nd or early 3rd rounder if you think you can bring him over. Washington or Tampa could probably pull it off.
