Did you miss the first center when you pasted your first team? Just looks like you have one fewer player than the typical yahoo team. Ignoring that, what you do have listed on the first team seems pretty well rounded.

The skaters on your two teams seem pretty good. I definitely think faster players like Datsyuk, Samsonov, and the Sedins will thrive in the new NHL. Speaking of Datsyuk, he might play in Russia next year. If he does, well, your second team will definitely be hurt.

My biggest worry if I were you would be goaltending. You really only have one proven goalie on each team (Theodore, Turco), which I wouldn't be comfortable with. Especially your second team. I might be wrong (it happens ever so rarely), but last I heard at least Cechmanek wasn't sure if he would even play in the NHL. And there is no guarantee Legace will be the starter in Detroit. I would definitely be worried about reaching the required number of games in a week if your league requires them. Turco should play a shit ton of games but when he has a light schedule, i don't think you can count on the others.

Other than that, your 2nd team is very solid.




By the way, this is actually only my 2nd year of playing fantasy hockey, so I don't know if you want to listen to me all that much. However, I did win 2 of 3 leagues my first year, so just ignore the fact that my competition was probably piss-poor and just listen to me.

hah thanks Satan you are right I left off my other starting center and he's my best player really.....C Joe Thornton on Boston. I agree with you as far as the goalies go but unfortunatley these are twelve teams auto draft leagues which sucks my balls so I have to really pay attention as the season comes up and how things pan out when it starts to keep my tending in check and winning me games!

[SatanHimself]

Yeah, Thornton makes your first team a bit better.

I wouldn't have a draft right now though because too many players are still unsigned... Too many teams still have much to improve or to lose by a potential move or not. None of my leagues will draft for another three weeks.
