I might as well just say I'm drafting Nail right now. Interestingly, this is fairly fair since I probably have the worst damned prospect pool in the league.

Yeah I'm actually not mad at all about you winning the prospect lottery. Your NHL club is a bit of a retirement home and your prospect pool is not that good to be honest. So you could use it.

Not talking smack by the way. My team is pretty much a kids day care.

My team isn't impressive either, but hopefully when I get Backstrom back and have Kesler healthy most of the season I'll be good. Also, Tarasenko is coming over baby

No, that's an accurate assessment. My team is old as the hills. The average age might be 30.

Speaking of which, I want.

I think your team will be fine. You got a nice mix of established talent like Backstrom, Kesler, Burns, Cammalleri, etc. and young elite talent still developing like Seguin, OEL, Backlund, Voracek, Tarasenko, Campbell, etc. I think the only reasons you did badly this season is because Backstrom was injured and you're still a pretty young team.

EDIT: Also just realized you don't have a goalie either. >_>

Jason mother****ing Pominville, ladies and gentlemen. The 6th best right winger. 29th in fantasy scoring overall. Ahead of Tavares, Ovechkin, Sedin, Eberle....

Three players from the top 40 overall are available. Those are top 3/4 players in a league with 12 teams.

Got another deal in the works with both my 1st round picks involved. We'll see what happens though.

Only way you could do better then what I'd get in return for these firsts in the other deal is by dealing Malkin to me. Which I doubt you'll do.

Garbage Goal · 04-04-2012, 11:09 PM

I can already see the first four picks of the pro draft. Stamkos, Lundqvist, Rinne, Tavares in that order. Then it's a crap-shoot.

**Prongo** · 04-04-2012, 11:17 PM

I hope the picks after those players are still elite quality keepers! They better be

Meeeh, so does Giroux. Moot point

. Really though, he's about as consistent as they come.

Also, who needs a defenseman? The guy tied for 2nd in scoring is available: http://www.nhl.com/ice/playerstats.h...=nav-sts-indiv

Garbage Goal · 04-04-2012, 11:38 PM

I'll be doing a check-in check at the same time as the keeper deadline. Just to make sure we still got everyone.

Beef Invictus · 04-05-2012, 12:30 AM

Roloson available??

MY TEAM IS SAVED.

PALE PWNR · 04-05-2012, 12:49 AM

So any player on any of those 4 teams will either be in the pro draft or the Minor draft if they are minors eligible?

Edit: Reposting my keepers/prospects just so it wasnt lost in the shuffle

Keepers:
Crosby
Couture
E Staal
Carter
Neal
Callahan
Varlamov
Reimer

Prospects:
Henrique
Klefbom
McNabb
Kruger
Gudbranson

Yes. All players at 82 games or above will go into the pro draft pool and any players below 82 games played will go into the prospect draft pool.

Also, thanks for re-posting your keepers. I'll edit the OP now.

Garbage Goal · 04-05-2012, 09:21 AM

I have offers for what I consider the two best players in the league or I could keep my plethora of picks...I don't know what to do. Someone tell me. =(

False. Malkin and Giroux are not involved in any offers.

You are right, they aren't another Pittsburgh Center is.

Garbage Goal · 04-05-2012, 03:02 PM

Sent this e-mail out to everyone.

Which will also act as a roll-call. Keeper deadline/roll-call is one week after our playoffs end so it will be Sunday, April 15th to be exact. A little more then a week from now. I encourage you all to get your keepers and prospects in before then to avoid the hassle though. If you don't report your keepers and prospects I will choose them for you and your team will be put up for consideration for a new owner if you continue to not check-in.

So, yeah, important stuff. Get your keepers in. Get your prospects in. Post in this topic. Then aside from the occasional roll-call you're good to go till the pro and prospect drafts.

JVR21 · 04-05-2012, 03:02 PM

I've got an offer of a late 2nd and 3rd for Pominville. If nobody tops that today, he'll be traded.
