Puckheads have the nicest draft so far, IMO.
Kops & Hellfish also with nice starts.
Pencil in BC IceHawks for a last-place finish based on first 7 rounds.
We've got a 12 team roto salary capped dynasty draft ongoing at the moment.
12 Fwds, 6 Def, 2 G, 5 Bench, 10 Farm (max 82gp F/D, 41 G)
12 Roto Cats:
Fwd/Def: G, A, Pts, Pims, Hits, Block Shots, SOG, Fwd Pts, Def Pts
Goaltenders: Wins (2 pts)+OTL (1 pt)+ SO (3 pts) as one Cat, GAA, SV%
I'll get this out of the way right now, I brought up the point of having Pts and Fwd Pts as two categories. Seems redundant. Tried to get this changed to PPP or TOI, but was told not this year. I will try to have Fwd Pts changed to something else next season.
Our inaugural draft will be 35 rounds with a slow draft that started a couple of days ago. I will update round by round. Feel free to add your comments as we go. Not sure how many in this league are on these boards.

I stopped reading after I saw Giroux go 1st OVR and Ovechkin hang around till 10th in a league with Hits, SOG, etc. Wow.

In my league we didn't have hits. Ovechkin has a cap hit of ?? 9 mil and we have a cap of 65 M. That's why Giroux was so valuable. I loved getting Tavares and Karlsson so cheap (we used last year's figures). This was our first 2 rounds:

There's a lot of WTF picks there to me. It doesn't say whether you use actual salary or cap hits but based on Kovalchuk falling all the way to 98th, I'm assuming it's actual salary. There's no other reasonable explanation for Kovy falling so far down in the draft.
Then again I see Suter getting taken 41st overall so that assumption flies right out of the window. Whether it's actual salary or cap hit, I'd never want to own Suter in a cap league. That's horrible, awful, fugly contract.
Couture at 92 and Patty Kane at 106 are great picks. Tremendous value there.
Streit at 56 over guys like Toews, E.Kane, Ryan, Skinner, Ryan, Duchene, OEL etc. in a keeper league? Not a fan of that pick.
Too much love for prospects also.

LOL- I didn't draft those guys.
But I'd rather have Seguin at a 3.5 cap hit that I could lock in for 5 years than Ovechkin at 9.5 when the cap is 65 M.
For a guy who had 65 pts and was trending downward, I wondered if Ovechkin was even going to get drafted. He is 15% of our cap.

I agree with you on Nash.
This was our startup draft and guys with low cap-hits that we could lock up for 4-5 years went at a premium. Since it is a 10-man league, a lot of high priced veterans went very late or weren't even acquired till free agency. The best looking teams took young, cheap stars and signed free agents at less than half their salaries. I'm sure the guy who took Ovi would construct his team differently if we redrafted.

Thanks for your comments guys. We are using cap hits, so that's part of the reason for some interesting picks, although there are a few guys who can't resist a highly touted prospect. I say give me the 22-24 year old who is ALREADY (or very close to) what the prospect hopes to become.

Are you this year's salaries or cap hits?
EStaal at 123, PSharp at 132, and Voracek at 133 stand out.
Pavelski, Gaborik, and St Louis also look like value but I'm sure it's in relation to your cap.
