I really dont like my team (i got autopicked for in a draft)....What should i improve, what position should i make better

[lethunder]

Just looking for some opinions on how other people might view my picks. Goals and Assists = 1 point, Wins = 1 point and Shutout = 2 bonus points.

Forwards:

Crosby

Nash

Spezza

Kopitar

Hemsky

Little

Defense:

Boyle

Streit

Wideman

Goalies:

Nabokov

Price

[-- Alexander 89 Mogilny --]

Is Claude Giroux a good draft pick? Like, lastish round.

[-- Alexander 89 Mogilny --]

Who is the best pick out of these.

Hunwick

Enstrom

Vlasic

Niskanen

Quincey

Babchuk

Campoli

Zybnek Michalek

Oduya.

I think the best are Vlasic, Enstrom, and Hunwick

Babchuk is a wild card.

Scoring is

Goals: 3 points

Assists: 2 points

+/-: 1

PIM: .5

i think there could be some players that could be better (sleepers) but if you wanna gamble i say go for it

Thanks.

I have another question though.

There are some good players in FA.

Should I switch Claude Giroux with:

Voracek

Callahan

Arnott

Hejduk

Umberger

James Neal

Drury

Berglund

Todd White

Ponikarovsky

Bergeron

I'm leaning toward the bolded ones.

Your centers and bottom 3 D need work. But you have Mike Green, Setoguchi, Smyth and Michalek.

IMO Michalek will have a great year. 30+ goals 60+ points. As will Ryan Smyth. Him+Kopitar could = Magic.

If they play together that is...

What do you guys think of drafting 3 players from the same team?

Good, bad, or doesn't matter?

[BM24]

it depends if they are all on the same line

if they are on the same line and one guy goes into a slump then that whole line goes down too

[Victorious Secret]

I'm a bit concerned because I have all the following on one team.

Gilbert, Souray, Vishnovsky, White, Kovalchuk and Kozlov.

Thats 6 players from 2 teams.

Should I be worried?

thats really risky imo

kovalchuk and white play on the same line(i think) and kzlov and if white goes into a slump they all do

same with your defence

[shadowscyne]

I have a dilemma. I have Perry and Ryan in a pool already and I need to pick a defenseman. It would either be Vlasic or Wisniewski. Who would be the better pick? I like Wisniewski better because he had 24pts in just 48games and vlasic 36pts in 82 games. But Vlasic would have increased powerplay time with the subtraction of Ehroff and being able to feed Heatley, Thornton, and Setoguchi the whole season. But I dont know Wisniewski may be playing with the best line in hockey with perry,ryan,and getzlaf. But i have thought that maybe i should get vlasic because having 3 ducks in a pool may result in some bad games if they get blown out and getting vlasic may spread the wealth a bit more. Thoughts? Vlasic or Wisniewski

Goals=2pt

Assists=1pt

+/-=1pt

PIM=.25pt/min

SH pts=1pt bonus

[BM24]

i think vlasic over wisnieski

because ehroff is gone will give vlasic more PP time

[BM24]
