My Fantasy Hockey Team
So last night was the first ever BSB fantasy hockey league draft. There are 14 teams, split amongst two seven-team divisions. The head-to-head league has stat categories G, A, +/-, PIMS, PPP, SOG, W, GAA, SV%, SHO, with the last four categories being goalie categories of course.
Yours truly had the fourth overall pick in the draft, and I think I did very well for myself, I have a solid team (Round, Pick, Player):
Gabby Gone Wild
1. (4) Jarome Iginla
2. (25) Niklas Backstrom (the goalie)
3. (32) Dany Heatley
4. (53) Chris Pronger
5. (60) David Backes
6. (81) David Krejci
7. (88) Olli Jokinen
8. (109) Semyon Varlamov
9. (116) Dennis Wideman
10. (137) Paul Kariya
11. (144) Ales Hemsky
12. (165) Ryan Whitney
13. (172) Keith Tkachuk
14. (193) Todd White
15. (200) Matt Gilroy
You start 2 C, 2 LW, 2 RW, 4 D, 2 G. What do you think?

Was that a hint of jealousy Mike?

Heyo Dave, pretty solid squad you’ve got there. My draft is tonight, can’t sleep, having horrid night tremors thinking I’ll end up with a lot of Flyers and Islanders players. I just did a mock draft and took Parise with the fourth pick and Del Zotto with the last. Backes is nice for PIM, Kariya and Hemsky are total bargains at the 10th and 11th round.
In our league, we decided against the 4 defensemen and made it 3 defensemen with a Utility player. I took Hank last year with the second overall pick – have to agree with you taking Backstrom in that spot. Jokinen and Iginla should be a sweet combo, especially for dual power-play point. Looks like some good balance overall.
I’ll be posting my draft on my blog if you’re interested. Are you going to be at the Garden on Saturday? Take care. -Cory
