Donut's Fantasy Hockey League

[LT]

Defenders

Oliver Ekman-Larsson ($5.500M) - Alex Pietrangelo ($3.167M)
Victor Hedman ($4.000M) - Slava Voynov ($4.167M)
Sergei Gonchar ($5.000M) - Justin Faulk ($0.900M)

I'm completely in love with this defense. Got my 4 favorite defenders in the whole league, and the production should be great on every line. Counting on breakout seasons offensively by Hedman and Faulk, but even without that, I love this.

I like my forwards, too. Giroux - Staal - Ribeiro down the middle should all be at or around PPG, while my wingers are all good for 25-35 goals and 55-70 points. Kuznetsov is another huge wild card but I think it'll work out amazingly well for me. Chiasson's poised to break out this season as well.

And I still have ~22M to fill in the rest of m
bottom 6 and get a back-up. Very happy with this draft so far.

Any comments? I'll also gladly comment on anyone else's teams so far.

Gonchar was a sneaky pick, I didn't even think of him.

Overall, that's a beast d corps, but offensively I'm not sure I like it a lot - OEL and Piet seem more like two way guys and Hedman is a great shutdown defender but not amazing offensively. Giroux Staal Ribeiro is beastly though.

i agree, my Defence still dosent have a single guy

 

[Koivu777]

Fribourg is on the clock. Not sure how many should have been skipped so lets just start from Fribourg. And get this moving.

 

[How Ya Drouin]

PM the next pick people! I'll make my pick momentarily

 

[LT]

Sorry guys, I'll take my strike. Hard to pick when there aren't any lines for the roller coasters

Yea, I agree. I've got four 40 point defenders though, and two more with the potential to get to 40+. But you are right.

sorry guys my internet was down all night starting @ 830ish, i'll make my picks now.

Just woke up, updating the board and everything right now.

Wow, i thought i had a really good defense but that looks absolutely amazing. Your team looks overally very good and should be near the top at the end. You also took Kuznetsov pretty early, i hoped he would have dropped since he likely won't play in NHL from the start of the season.

Very happy with my draft aswell, although i have lots of cap tied on the current players, but that won't likely be a problem because cap is currently at 85m.

JUST WANT TO PUT A REMINDERRRR, it is a 1 hour time limit now......................
If you don't make it, you will be skipped... If you don't come on within 24hrs after the skipped pick then you will get a strike!

 

[LT]

That top 9 is disgustingly good, trick9. Rest of the team looks solid as well.

The reasoning for Kuznetsov is in hopes that this game lasts more than a year. If it does, that pick could turn out to be huge for me.

Would like to remind everyone, that we are having 25 rounds and all 25 players will count towards the $85M Cap-Hit.

Breakdown of the players: 14 Forwards, 7 Defensemen, 3 Goalies, and 1 Wild-card selection of a player of your choice. (Restriction on the Wild-card selection is that the 25th Round is the ONLY round that you may select your 4th goalie if that is your plan.)
