    I think you can get better production than Rakell.

    I’d like to maximize the off night teams which are Anaheim, Washington and Edmonton but that doesn’t leave me with many options in such a shallow league. McDavid, Draisaitl, Ovechkin, Kuznetsov I guess. Carlson too but I might just roll out 4, maybe 5 D.

    I think my main strategy would be:

    1. Have fun with the league, since it consists of friends and many of you have drifted away from it. It's a friends league, so that's of primary import.

    2. I like dual or tri eligible forwards a lot here with short benches, and the rosters not going too deep. If you have a choice of multi-eligible versus non forward in the same rough area, grab the multi position guy.

    3. I want at least 1 D on the bench. With benches that short, I think I avoid a third goalie, and aim for workhorses.

    I don't disagree, but you can also go too far down that rabbit hole and end up with the worst team in general. Just make sure that isn't the case

    So my draft didn’t go exactly as planned but that was because everyone was falling to me. I think I set myself up pretty good, if I don’t win it’ll be due to injury or my own doing, but you be the judge.

    I ended up with the 4th pick on the wheel and I somehow managed to get Kucherov.... for real!

    ROUND
    1/4 Kucherov - RW
    2/5 Draisaitl - C/LW
    3/12 P. Kane - RW
    4/13 Crosby - C
    5/20 Marchand - LW
    6/21 E. Karlsson - D
    7/28 Panarin - LW
    8/29 Carlson - D (don’t like this pick)
    9/36 Laine - LW/RW
    10/37 DeBrincat - LW/RW
    11/44 Barkov - C
    12/45 Klingberg - D
    13/52 Josi - D
    14/53 Barrie - D (don’t like this pick either)
    15/60 MA Fleury - G
    16/61 Bishop - G

    I hesitated a bit as the clock was ticking on both of Carlson and Barrie which I’m not happy about but Washington is an off-night schedule team this season so I’m not too upset. Did I put too much into getting dual wings on my bench and took Laine/DeBrincat too early? Some targets left undrafted on my watchlist include:
    Kessel, Benn, Hoffman, Landeskog, Forsberg, S. Jones and Giordano. I know I should have taken one of those D over Barrie, not sure what I was thinking.

    I’d say I’m the favourite to win. Team #2 seems to be a threat but Team #3 & #4 are going to need some luck to get into this one. My prediction was right for those guys drafting players from their favourite teams too.

    Team #2 (Bruins fan)
    C - Matthews, Seguin, Bergeron
    LW - Ovechkin, Hall, Huberdeau, Arvidsson (RW)
    RW - Pastrnak, Wheeler
    D - Burns, Hedman, Krug, Yandle, Chabot
    G - Bobrovsky, Binnington

    Team #3 (Leafs fan)
    C - MacKinnon, Tavares, Point, Aho, Hertl (LW)
    LW - Gaudreau, M.Tkachuk, Guentzel (RW)
    RW - Rantanen, Nylander (C)
    D - Rielly, Letang, Gostisbehere, Dumba
    G - Andersen, Price

    Team #4 (Sabres fan)
    C - McDavid, Malkin, Stamkos, Toews
    LW - Skinner (C), Giroux (C/RW), Teravainen (RW)
    RW - Marner, Tarasenko
    D - Subban, Dahlin, Ristolainen, McDonaugh (lol)
    G - Vasilevskiy, Holtby, Jones


    Easy beer winnings right?

    Its over! You won the draft So Ovechkin, MacKinnon and McDavid went 1-2 and 3?

    ''Some targets left undrafted on my watchlist include:
    Kessel, Benn, Hoffman, Landeskog, Forsberg, S. Jones and Giordano. I know I should have taken one of those D over Barrie, not sure what I was thinking.''

    you are saying that like you can't make transactions. Is that right? Am I missing something from your main post?

    Did Eichel not get drafted?
    And yeah, looks like you're pretty set. I actually dislike the Laine pick a little more than the Carlson or Barrie picks, but it should be fine.

    Yes, top 3 went McDavid, Ovie, MacKinnon so Kucherov was gift wrapped for me.
    I can make moves but am limited to 25 for the season.
    Eichel did go undrafted.
    If Laine continues to stay unsigned than I can throw him on IR+ and add a winger. I want to hold onto Barrie right now just because I don’t want to use up a move early on. Eichel is tempting but no point in carrying more than 3 C. I would imagine the Sabres fan will grab him eventually.

    So thers no need to make a move that early. But right now Barrie is first on my drop list.

    MAF (VGK) and Bishop (DAL) could both win 35-40... beauty late picks.
    Out of curiousity - what rounds did all other goalies get drafted in?

    And... as a 4-for-4... you can compare any teams 2 skaters + 2 goalies with your 2 skaters + 2 goalies in same rounds.
    That will give you a good idea if the late-draft-of-goalies gave you good value!!!

    Vasilevskiy went 3rd Round / 9th overall
    Andersen went 8th Round / 30th overall
    Binnington went 10th Round / 39th overall (lol)
    Holtby went 10th Round / 40th overall
    Price went 11th Round / 43rd overall
    Bobrovsky went 13th Round / 50th overall

    Then I got Fleury and Bishop at 60/61 and then Jones went with the final pick at 64.
