I'm kind of surprised Ovie went 4th.

DevotedWalnut

Me too. 🙂

I'm surprised no one has picked Malkin he's most likely going to be on fire this year. He looks damn hungry, plus he'll be playing with James Neal. He should be racking up the points a lot more than St-Louis or Corey Perry. Just my 2 cents

DevotedWalnut

Should of joined the pool! Malkin is a injury risk anyway.

Horror Show is up.

From what i've seen so far from the pre-season he's fully recovered.
and he's not an injury prone player. Last year was the exception.
in 08-09 he had over 113 points and crosby was absent most of that season. So with all th minutes he'll be getting at the start of season he'll be playing big.

Quite possible about Malkin but there's other factors than just points to consider when drafting.

Tompa

My buddy is asleep so it'll be at least 6 hours before he picks. Just a warning.

Metastable_To_Chaos

Well, just remind him that he has back-to-back picks and that's for the whole draft.

What are the stats taken into account for your hockey pool ?

If I had known before I would have.

We've been discussing the league for almost a month now. 😛

Anyway, the stats for skaters are Goals (G), Assists (A), Plus/Minus (+/-), Penalty Minutes (PIM), Powerplay Points (PPP), Shots on Goal (SOG).

Again the are other things and I'm talking purely from a drafting point of view but I don't want to get too much into that at the risk of giving away my drafting strategy (I know....I take this too seriously. I have no life). 😛

Well I haven't been on here for at least that long lol
Anyways, thanks for the info.

I hesitated a long time between him and H.Sedin. I just had a look of his 3 past years stats, and figured he, perhaps, is on a downhill. We'll see! 🙂

Tompa

Ovechkin would have been my first overall pick.. But the Sedin's are definitely "safer" picks.

Tompa

emperorblackdoom you're up

Metastable_To_Chaos

Parise should be fine, Crosby on the other hand....

Crosby is a big gamble for sure... though I wouldn't be surprised to see him score 90 points even if he only plays 50 games 😃

GOD DAMMIT FUCK YOU TOMPA
