Picks 1-7: Great. MacKinnon was a steal at that spot.
Picks 8-10: Okay. I probably would have gone a different direction but not bad by any means
Picks 11-16: I see some strategy there but there were likely better picks to be made (though I don't know how the draft went)

Overall, pretty good. Nice job

Agreed. 1-7 are great.

8-10 I wouldnt have taken either turris or hartnell. Saad and Hornqvist would be ideal. I love how you got Steen 8th tho. Playing with Statsny now, I think he will get 30 gs easy.

11-16 I think you could have grabbed more sleepers. Vrbata..Nichskunin..Bozak..Richards

Good team tho. If Drouin and Tarasenko go off this year, you will be highly rewarded.

Consider dropping a D man for Erik Johnson. Plays the powerplay in Colorado, which I believe will be top 5 pp this year.

Post your scoring categories.

 

[Richie Daggers Crime]

I probably would have skipped over Weber in favor of a high scoring center.

 

[i got the blues]

Post your scoring categories.

Goals, Assists, Plus/Minus, Penalty Minutes, Powerplay Points, Shots on Goal

Wins, Goals Against Average, Save Percentage, Shutouts

this is a head-to-head league by the way.

You took D-men too early which may hurt you in the long run. Tarasenko was a steal where you got him. Drouin was probably taken a little early (he has a lot more risk). Might be some good free agents still out there. I like the early picks, but mid to late picks I'm not a fan of.

Eh I would stay away from St.Louis this season, he was straight horrible fantasy wise with NY.
