Just wanted to clarify that while the captain does not count as a 12th forward they do count as one of the 5 players from a nation correct?

article I posted should help w/ some selections. Good thing I didn't pick John Moore as he was cut.

There are 12 foward plus the captain so it is really 13 fowards.

Yes, they count in the 5 player nation limit. So if you pick Eberle you only get a maximum of 4 other Canadians.

Sent in the whole thing. Hoping to at least be in the top half, althought it probably looks like the generic entry.

All 3 articles on the 4 teams sure helped out.

Really loved the excel spreadsheet Reeveta, my favorite part was when I went over the 5 man thing for each team and it said too many

[reeveta]

a couple more hours.... 26 entries so far.

[mister_mcgoo]

[sexymountain]

[mister_mcgoo]

There are 28 entries this year, matching last year’s number. I will be updating the stats on the forums daily (or almost daily). Before I give the first update a few stats on who we picked.

The team captain was let by Filatov who was selected by 17 out of 28 entries. Eberle was a distant second:
Name Times selected
FILATOV Nikita 17
EBERLE Jordan 6
HALL Taylor 2
PAAJARVI –SVENSSON Magnus 2
SCHROEDER Jordan 1
GRANLUND Mikael 0

Every country in the tournament is represented although the selections favoured the top four teams of Canada, Sweden, Russia and USA.
Team Players selected
CAN 140
SWE 128
RUS 112
USA 106
FIN 34
SVK 33
CZE 22
SUI 9

It looks like goalies won’t be much of a factor this year. The goalies of choice were Jack Allen and Jacob Markstrom who were both select 25 times. Only Ryan Ellis was selected as many times. Some other players who were selected a lot were:

If you want to take a look at all the teams, here is the spreadsheet. It is a little rough visually but you should be able to see your team on the "all teams' tab.

thanks for all the work reeveta! I'll make sure to give you some props the next time I ramble.
