    Default Attempted Draft Strategy... Prioritizing RW/D... How will I do?

    Hey All,

    I am typically more into keeper leagues, but since all of my keeper leagues folded... I'm throwing my hat into random 1-year Yahoo leagues.

    My team 1 below, I had the 5th pick, and Leon slid to me there, and my general thought was to draft best available based on how round by round was going. Sadly, I think my D core is on the weak side, I feel like my forwards and goalies are well above average.

    My team 2 below; I threw caution to the wind, and focused on drafting the best available D or RW available for the first 6 picks. (Prioritized RW being RW depth is lacking it seems).
    I had the 2nd overall pick, and grabbed Makar likely earlier than I should, be hell, why not try.

    So anyways, for my team 2 below... how do you think I'll do? Is an elite D-core critical for fantasy success? Or am I going to be scrounging for forwards on the waiver wire just to try to keep my head above water?

    Thanks for your thoughts!

    Not really sure about Zuccarello & Bergeron, but you do have Bratt and Hartman on your bench so that is pretty strong. Your Defense is lacking the big name guy other than Fox, but it is not awful. The Goalies you have are really strong.

    Team 2 , I think is pretty solid. My only concern in Marchand, but once again you have Bratt on the bench so you are safe there. The only player I really do not like on this team is Jordan Binnington.

    both leagues trade a starting goalie for fire power. Stream a third option.

    All your team 2 D men sans Nurse can put up points like a mid-top 6 forward, I think you're in great shape. Personally, in 1 year leagues that are H2H points, I feel D is crucial for winning.
