I have an offer changeling87, open a new thread and post your draft results along with those of the top 5 teams. Please also post a list of key trades or drops/adds you made over the year. I would be more than happy to examine the combination of your draft composition/strategy, your team management, and give you a non biased review of the general luck other managers received or that you stumbled into.
I think you are getting nothing done just hammering away at the predictions that you purchased and were not pleased with. The draft guide just allows you to not rank players yourself or to perform the tedious research of player predictions. There was still your drafting and management that led you to last place. Sorry, prediction accuracy alone did not result in last place performance.
Feel free to take me up on the offer to have a friend take a look at your draft/season perfromance to see where you can turn it around next season.
Steve
To answer the question of why I buy the guide.
I am from Arkansas and do not watch more than 10-20 games the entire season/playoffs
I do not watch prospects in the minors develop and can not predict from names alone how the will perform in the NHL
I have not played fantasy sports for me entire life just 5-6 years
The projections have been much better than Yahoo projections that my fellow league mates draft from
