Draft Recap - Trouble with LW/D?

[DUMBA55]

How do ya'll think I did here? We were locked at 4 skaters per forward position which is where I think I may have cornered myself in some cases (ie - last 4 draft picks were all LW or D) - but I think I came out alright. Hoping for a great season! Let me know how you think I did. This is a 12 man league. Thanks!

19 Erik Karlsson, Ott D

overall a solid team but have to hope the good fleury shows up

Solid team, but i would trade fleury my friend. He is going to get lit up this year.

Playing in a league that puts a lot of value on goalie wins, I figured Fluery was a good option with the pick. I figured between him and Niemi I would have two starters who would consistently put up W's. I just need a consistent, regular season-Fluery to show up, not postseason-Fleury.

But how concerned should I be with the Niemi/Stalock situation? Is he really likely to vulture a lot of starts from Niemi/possibly take over as the #1?

In the end I think Holtby was a nice safety blanket as a consistent starter #3.

Someone in my league dropped Holtby for Andersen. I picked him up right away. I love the holtby pick. Despite last years stats, he has been solid thus far. Especially with a more defensive Capitals team, I think he will be great for you. As for Niemi/stalock. I think stalock is a better pick. Having a golaie from the sharks is risky overall. Sharks are caught up in some serious confusion right now. They could be very good again or just average. They lost some great DMEN. I just think you could trade fleury for a allstar forward and then pick up a sleeper goalie of the wire and be rewarded in both ways.

PS: WHY ISNT 50in07 on your teams!? Lol. All jokes aside, I think he is going to have a great year.
