With Crosbys history of injuries - I wouldn't take him at 8.

 

Just saying that so you can take him haha.

Anyone else doing this with no list, or do I just have bigger balls than all of you?

You have big chicken balls (I hope that's not going to be the official name of our division)

[BTS]

I ave a list, but am torn at #1 pick still.

 

Crosby/Stamkos?

[GD]

George Parros or Brian McGrattan.

 

Hal Gill

[jaysblue]

I'm using NHL 15 rankings as my list!

[Frag]

Division 4 represent.

 

Change your name to District 9 or 13

[Abomination]

Whoever selects them before the 20th pick is dumn...

 

My sniffer detects a slight bias! It WOULD be interesting to see where they'd go if this wasn't a keeper league though.

[Abomination]

I have to get my ass in gear and get a list going. I'm not even sure yet whether to go for it this year, or go for youth.

Man up and build a team that can win perpetually.

How come we have blocks as a scoring category? Seems like pure luck even compared to stats like +/- and hits.

It seems fairly predictable. I personally like it. It adds more depth to the strategy, and tends to add a little more value in general to defensemen.

[BTS]

+/- is awful. Everyone just ignores it and crosses their fingers every week.

[Abomination]

I assumed hits was a category, it's not?

Hits > blocked shots

Blocked shots > +/-

 

Goals (G), Assists (A), Plus/Minus (+/-), Powerplay Points (PPP), Shots on Goal (SOG), Shooting Percentage (SH%), Hits (HIT), Blocks (BLK)

[BTS]

Faceoff wins is a personal favourite.

Usually the worst defenceman are the ones that block a lot of shots. Plus the tracking of blocked shits is such a grey area.

I can see how that might pose a challenge to Yahoo.

+/- is difficult to predict year to year. I can say though that I certainly didn't ignore it last year.

Hahahaha talk about a funny typo.

[Frag]

+/- is projectable. It's pretty much guys on a good team = good +/-. Blocked shots is also a skill and is projectable.

 

Especially a good team with good goaltending (ie. Bruins and Rangers).

Problem is with hockey nobody knows what teams are going to be good. The entire season is basically a crapshoot.

[BTS]

That's in, isn't it?

 

Nope. I am disappoint.

Exactly. The Middle tier of teams has so many in in and anything can happen. Theres only a few elite teams and a couple that are awful.

Blocked shots are definitely projectable. +/- on good teams is fairly easy, but beyond that it can be rough. All it takes is a coach on a below average team juggling a line and you can go from great to average. In a dynasty setting, it's hard to predict especially beyond the one year. I kind of like that extra dimension though, at least in a limited amount.

[burlingtonbandit]

The West is stacked, than there's a couple from the East, and the rest is crap.

 

Id break it down as:

Tier 1 LA, Chi, SJ, Bos

Tier 2: NYR, STL, Dal

Tier 3: ANA, Pit

[Abomination]

Canucks are going to win it all **shakes fist at the non-believers**

[burlingtonbandit]

I think ANA is in the top tier with LA, SJ, and CHI.

 

I think you could make say Tier 2 but I would take STL or Dallas over them.

[GD]

I'm still looking to turn 38 or 43 into two/three lesser picks.
