A little round-by-round of the Smythe last night.
Great group of GMs, 2hr 10min draft.
Round 1:
1. Sidney Crosby (Pit - C) Marko K's Ra...
2. Alex Ovechkin (Was - RW) Team Ramrod
3. Steven Stamkos (TB - C) Off Constantly
4. Evgeni Malkin (Pit - C,RW) Pylons
5. Corey Perry (Anh - RW) In It To Winnik
6. Ryan Getzlaf (Anh - C) Hunter's Team
7. Henrik Lundqvist (NYR - G) Potvin Sucks
8. Tuukka Rask (Bos - G) Da Budz
9. Erik Karlsson (Ott - D) Ima Superstar
10. Claude Giroux (Phi - C,RW) No Hanzal my...
11. John Tavares (NYI - C) Canuck Dynasty
12. Jamie Benn (Dal - LW) T-34s
Favourite Pick: Claude Giroux (No Hanzal). Seems like a steal at #10.
Least Fave Pick: Corey Perry. Strange things about Perry... he PIMs... but he doesn't HIT... and it's a HITS league, no PIM.
Round 2:
2. Tyler Seguin (Dal - C,RW) T-34s
3. Patrick Kane (Chi - C,RW) Canuck Dynasty
4. Carey Price (Mon - G) No Hanzal my...
5. Jonathan Quick (LA - G) Ima Superstar
6. P.K. Subban (Mon - D) Da Budz
7. Taylor Hall (Edm - C,LW) Potvin Sucks
8. Ben Bishop (TB - G) Hunter's Team
9. Sergei Bobrovsky (Cls - G) In It To Winnik
10. Chris Kunitz (Pit - LW) Pylons
11. Corey Crawford (Chi - G) Off Constantly
12. Marc-Andre Fleury (Pit - G) Team Ramrod
13. Semyon Varlamov (Col - G) Marko K's Ra...
Favourite Pick: Crawford (OC). Just a very reliable 2nd round pick.
Least fave pick: None. I like them all here, Pat Kane probably the least if I'm forced to pick one.
Round 3:
1. Nathan MacKinnon (Col - C,RW) Marko K's Ra...
2. Phil Kessel (Tor - RW) Team Ramrod
3. Kari Lehtonen (Dal - G) Off Constantly
4. Shea Weber (Nsh - D) Pylons
5. Antti Niemi (SJ - G) In It To Winnik
6. Anze Kopitar (LA - C) Hunter's Team
7. Jonathan Toews (Chi - C) Potvin Sucks
8. Joe Pavelski (SJ - C,LW) Da Budz
9. Cory Schneider (NJ - G) Ima Superstar
10. Nicklas Backstrom (Was - C) No Hanzal my...
11. David Backes (StL - C,RW) Canuck Dynasty
12. Max Pacioretty (Mon - LW) T-34s
Favourite Pick: Backes (CD). He's just a beast in HITS leagues so end of 3rd round, yes please.
Least fave: MacKinnon. I like MacK, but to have a better year than Nicklas Backstrom, I don't know.
Round 4:
2. Pekka Rinne (Nsh - G) T-34s
3. Patrick Sharp (Chi - C,LW) Canuck Dynasty
4. Braden Holtby (Was - G) No Hanzal my...
5. Dustin Byfuglien (Wpg - RW,D) Ima Superstar
6. Patrick Marleau (SJ - C,LW) Da Budz
7. Brian Elliott (StL - G) Potvin Sucks
8. Victor Hedman (TB - D) Hunter's Team
9. Matt Duchene (Col - C,LW) In It To Winnik
10. Zach Parise (Min - LW) Pylons
11. Gabriel Landeskog (Col - LW) Off Constantly
12. Mike Smith (Ari - G) Team Ramrod
13. James Neal (Nsh - LW,RW) Marko K's Ra...
Favourite Pick(s): Patrick Sharp (CD) & Landeskog (OC). Very solid picks in this format.
Least fave: Hedman. A solid player that I simply think would've slide another round.
Round 5:
1. Logan Couture (SJ - C,LW) Marko K's Ra...
2. Henrik Zetterberg (Det - C,LW) Team Ramrod
3. Blake Wheeler (Wpg - RW) Off Constantly
4. Roberto Luongo (Fla - G) Pylons
5. Jason Spezza (Dal - C) In It To Winnik
6. Jimmy Howard (Det - G) Hunter's Team
7. Wayne Simmonds (Phi - RW) Potvin Sucks
8. Eric Staal (Car - C) Da Budz
9. James van Riemsdyk (Tor - LW) Ima Superstar
10. Daniel Sedin (Van - LW) No Hanzal my...
11. Patrice Bergeron (Bos - C) Canuck Dynasty
12. Evander Kane (Wpg - LW) T-34s
Favourite Pick: Couture (Marko K). Kept get passed over, who knows why. A great snag at this location.
Least fave: Howard. Wings seem shaky this year with a very questionable defense.
Round 6:
2. Ryan Kesler (Anh - C,RW) T-34s
3. Alexander Steen (StL - C,LW) Canuck Dynasty
4. Oliver Ekman-Larsson (Ari - D) No Hanzal my...
5. Alex Pietrangelo (StL - D) Ima Superstar
6. Drew Doughty (LA - D) Da Budz
7. Milan Lucic (Bos - LW) Potvin Sucks
8. Ryan Johansen (Cls - C,RW) Hunter's Team
9. Rick Nash (NYR - LW,RW) In It To Winnik
10. Kris Letang (Pit - D) Pylons
11. Zdeno Chara (Bos - D) Off Constantly
12. Duncan Keith (Chi - D) Team Ramrod
13. Bobby Ryan (Ott - LW,RW) Marko K's Ra...
Favourite Pick(s): Ry-Jo (Hunter)... if he signs. Lucic (PS) until then.
Least fave: Bobby Ryan. Guy always seems unmotivated and now that he is overpaid... why try and harder.
Round 7:
1. Ryan McDonagh (NYR - D) Marko K's Ra...
2. Joe Thornton (SJ - C) Team Ramrod
3. Jarome Iginla (Col - RW) Off Constantly
4. Keith Yandle (Ari - D) Pylons
5. Marian Hossa (Chi - RW) In It To Winnik
6. Patric Hornqvist (Pit - RW) Hunter's Team
7. Dion Phaneuf (Tor - D) Potvin Sucks
8. Jeff Carter (LA - C,RW) Da Budz
9. Jordan Eberle (Edm - RW) Ima Superstar
10. Brent Burns (SJ - RW,D) No Hanzal my...
11. Mark Giordano (Cgy - D) Canuck Dynasty
12. Mike Green (Was - D) T-34s
Favourite Pick(s): I simply love and target Phaneuf, Gio, Burns in all my leagues... to see them go within 4 picks of each other was awesome.
Least Fave: Yandle is solid offensively, but ARI stinks and Yandle does HIT, that's two cats not too good.
Round 8:
2. Radim Vrbata (Van - RW) T-34s
3. Frederik Andersen (Anh - G) Canuck Dynasty
4. Kyle Okposo (NYI - RW) No Hanzal my...
5. Ryan Miller (Van - G) Ima Superstar
6. Dustin Brown (LA - LW,RW) Da Budz
7. Thomas Vanek (Min - LW,RW) Potvin Sucks
8. Brandon Dubinsky (Cls - C,LW) Hunter's Team
9. David Krejci (Bos - C) In It To Winnik
10. Martin St. Louis (NYR - RW) Pylons
11. Kevin Shattenkirk (StL - D) Off Constantly
12. Ryan Suter (Min - D) Team Ramrod
13. Niklas Kronwall (Det - D) Marko K's Rad...
Favourite Pick: Krecji (Winnik). I'm a big fan.
Least fave pick: Dustin Brown. He brings the hits, but just seems to be on such a decline.
Round 9:
1. Andrew Ladd (Wpg - LW) Marko K's Ra...
2. T.J. Oshie (StL - C,RW) Team Ramrod
3. Christian Ehrhoff (Pit - D) Off Constantly
4. Jakub Voracek (Phi - RW) Pylons
5. Scott Hartnell (Cls - LW) In It To Winnik
6. Pavel Datsyuk (Det - C,LW) Hunter's Team
7. Jeff Skinner (Car - LW,RW) Potvin Sucks
8. Jaroslav Halak (NYI - G) Da Budz
9. Kyle Turris (Ott - C) Ima Superstar
10. Henrik Sedin (Van - C) No Hanzal my...
11. Paul Stastny (StL - C) Canuck Dynasty
12. Ryan Callahan (TB - RW) T-34s
Favourite Pick: Jakub Voracek (Pylons). 9th round for what could be a 75pt player, wow, steal.
Least fave pick: Callahan. Again, hits are great but too much offense in TB and perhaps limited PP time for Cally.
Round 10:
2. Steve Mason (Phi - G) T-34s
3. John Carlson (Was - D) Canuck Dynasty
4. Brent Seabrook (Chi - D) No Hanzal my...
5. Bryan Little (Wpg - C,RW) Ima Superstar
6. Torey Krug (Bos - D) Da Budz
7. Ryan Nugent-Hopkins (Edm - C) Potvin Sucks
8. John Gibson (Anh - G) Hunter's Team
9. Jason Pominville (Min - RW) In It To Winnik
10. Jonathan Bernier (Tor - G) Pylons
11. Ondrej Palat (TB - LW) Off Constantly
12. Nazem Kadri (Tor - C) Team Ramrod
13. James Wisniewski (Cls - D) Marko K's Ra...
Favourite Pick: Seabrook (No Hanzal). Just a very nice pick.
Least fave pick: Gibson (Hunter). Hard to justify a timeshare goalie in a weekly set league.
Round 11:
1. Ondrej Pavelec (Wpg - G) Marko K's Ra...
2. Alex Goligoski (Dal - D) Team Ramrod
3. Tyson Barrie (Col - D) Off Constantly
4. Gustav Nyquist (Det - C,RW) Pylons
5. Chris Kreider (NYR - LW) In It To Winnik
6. Cam Fowler (Anh - D) Hunter's Team
7. Cody Franson (Tor - D) Potvin Sucks
8. Brad Richards (Chi - C,LW) Da Budz
9. Tomas Hertl (SJ - LW) Ima Superstar
10. Jack Johnson (Cls - D) No Hanzal my...
11. Darcy Kuemper (Min - G) Canuck Dynasty
12. Marian Gaborik (LA - RW) T-34s
Favourite Pick: Gaborik (T-34s). High risk. High reward.
Least fave pick: Kuemper. If Niklas Backstrom goes down, this could turn out to be a huge steal... but for now it's another time share.
