I wonder if VanIslander actually knows the scoring criteria when he is making these claims about the teams getting votes....

The Flames definitely would've been the top team had I kept drafting, no doubt about it! Before I stepped down, I easily had the best team!!

Get over the Getzlaf love and this squad ain't winning many match-ups.
Goaltending shaky, defense not deep, bottom-6 forwards producing little this season.
A fine team, good basics, some role players for secondary stats.
Makes sense statswise. Respectable, though short on scoring depth.
None of the top-5 teams I'd rank have been picked yet. My team aside, there are four teams worthy of selection GIVEN PERFORMANCE NOW AND NEXT SEASON (not pie-in-the-sky projections). Are we to pick the best teams to perform or the best "future" maybe potential squads 3-5 years from now? A serious question.

You are crazy to say LA is not top 5. LA is a very deep team and will destroy you. You made soo many stupid comment. Just tell us your drunk and we can move on from this and say it wasn't your fault you reacted this way. If not ouch.
We all think our team is good and please keep your opinion to yourself if there not pleasant.

I didn't say that.
I said none of the teams voted for so far are top-5 as far as I can tell:
To each their opinion. It's just seemed strange to me (having been in countless leagues, this one is starting oddly in terms of opinions of "best" squads).
I'll gladly bow out of conversation on the topic until the end of the first season. G'day and g'luck with the actual season.

I wasn't trying to be rude and I like to know everyone opinion on any subject. But you need to understand how this league work. A team could be loaded on enforcer and a great goaltender duo and could win a match up since they would cover Hit,Block shot,the goalies stats,PIM and then they could possibly win the +/- . Backes and Callahan are one of the player for this kind of league. They hit,block shot,score,get a good +/-,PIM....
But please don't quit the league cause we see things differently.

Pretty sure he just meant that after the first season, he'd be proved to be right.
I too love LAK fwd depth, but their D depth isnt great and Bob playing for columbus may not win alot if games. Just my 2 cents.

But Brobovski as been amazing this year and Columbus will only get better. But I do agree that is D isn't great.

Well I don't agree at all. I think St.Louis and Edmonton were easily the top 2 teams. Edmonton has to be the most balanced team in the league.. Malkin, Lucic, Zajac, Semin, Umberger up front with Keith, Tyutin, Bogosian on D.. Bryzgalov can be shaky but he's still a #1. Edmonton is good in every way.
Hard for me to comment on my team and not sound like a homer but I don't think there's another top 6 that can match up against Marchand, Toews, Callahan, Simmonds, O'Reilly and Perron. Not to mention OEL and McDonagh on the backend, two of the best young defenseman in the NHL.
My question mark is Dubnyk but IMHO he is one of the most underappreciated goalies there is. He is 11th in SV% (which is the stat goalies focus on) and he faces the 4th most shots. I truly believe that if the Oilers more reliable defenseman that didn't allow so many shots and a system that isn't ****ing Pejorative Slured he'd be up there in the discussion with Schneider. Coach Krueger believes the Oilers should sit back when we have the lead and try to defend (which doesn't suit our offensive team) instead of going for insurance goals.. We always give up late goals and lose in OT/SO. It's unbelievably frustrating.
Calgary's forwards and goaltending are the reason they were ranked high. Philadelphia has a relatively balanced team that is top heavy with Tavares, Skinner and Lundqvist. I don't see a problem with the first 5 teams so far.
The thing holding your team back is there is no one other than Duchene, Conacher, Zetterberg, Fleischmann and maybe Hagelin that are young or dynamic. The rest are old or average. Your D is bad, because it doesn't have a #1. Aside from Zidlicky, who is a good #3, decent #2, the rest of your D crop is just filled with bottom 3 defenseman who are old. Don't get me wrong, your whole team has depth but it almost might have too much depth instead of top end young talent.

Good luck engineering stat categories to try and win with a hope and a prayer for youth development! (Young people always appreciate the future and discount the present.)
The fact is: in the 2013/2014 season, most of the POTENTIAL teams selected tops are just not built to PERFORM as such yet.
Time will tell...

From the runaway slave to a modern day king.
No one is engineering the categories to anything. They've been stated since the beginning, with slight changes once Raptatics dropped out.
Based on the stats NOW, the top 2 teams are where they belong. Do a study of PTS, PPP, BS, HITS, TOI and goalie stats, and that fact will be pretty apparent to you. St.Louis' starting goalie might take a slight hit (I think Dubnyk's mean will be 2011 season), but his backup will be more than able to make up the deficiencies. Allen is an elite backup in a league like this.
I don't know why you think people are voting based on future potential.

I agree with this statement and Van just doesn't know what he's talking about. lol!!
I guess he'll understand sooner rather then later. Here's a exemple, I drafted Radko Gudas at 27round I believe. The kid does everything well to become a beast in this type of league. The kid can hit,fight,block shots,very sound as a D and will get a couple points here and there. But in a scoring league he would be useless since they don't count hits,PIM,Block shot, just scoring.

All I know is that Ottawa is going to have the best defence in the league as early as next season...but definitely in 2 years. While having some top end forward prospects (Hishon, Johnson, Silfverberg, Zibanejad and Dalpe) and the best player in the game in Crosby...
I remember when I was criticized for my trade with Zibanejad and Yakupov...but in a league with this format Zibanejad alone may be more valuable (+/-, hits, blocks and comparable goals) adding Kulemin was icing. I'm pretty confident that Silfverberg has 60+ point potential next year while eating a lot of minutes and who knows what Zibanejad can do. Anderson is...Mr. Anderson.
I might not be the best team right now, but next year or the year after I don't see a better set-up team.
