Yahoo Fantasy Hockey (Season 2) - Draft Oct 6th @ 7 pm CST

[Duke89]

The worst part is I can't set any kind of pre-draft rankings because it doesn't take keepers out. So all the players are still there.

[Hank Chinaski]

Full draft order is up FWIW:

Log in and go to the HF Jets league. Go to Draft Central and then 'Launch Draft Application'.

thanks. I couldn't find it under "draft central" which is where I was looking, but on the main league page there was a link now...

Really? I thought it gave you a pretty decent haul.

Keep in mind that with hits and PIMs being counted, Hartnell gets a pretty healthy bump in fantasy points. I guess the biggest issue with him is that he probably won't replicate his numbers from last year. As for Thornton and Marleau, they should still be good for at least 130 points between the two of them.

[Shakey Rustie]

All things considered, I think autopick did a good job for me.

Also, what draft picks are going to be used for next years keeper players? I don't want to trade away one of my keeper picks unintentionally.

[Ziggy66]

This draft they were the last 8 picks of the draft. Should be the Same.

It'll be rounds 17-25, but you'll get 8 keepers no matter what picks you trade. It's just the way the Yahoo! draft is set up, it forces you to 'block off' portions of the draft with the keeper picks.

[Ziggy66]

Game on!! Unfinished business from last season

[Shakey Rustie]

You're all going down! Now let me go take a look at who is exactly on my team...

I feel the same way. Not sure I could name a single draft pick I made.

[Jet Bomber]

Dayum, my team looks pretty solid. Except for on defense (again)

C - Stamkos
C - Tavares
C - Duchene
LW - Evander
LW - Semin
LW - Marchand
RW - Sharp
RW - Kesler
RW - Eriksson
F - Williams
F - Stafford
F - Clutterbuck
D - Streit
D - Whitney
D - Wisniewski
D - Smith
D - Elliott
D - Faulk
G - Schneider
G - Howard

Bench
Galchenyuk
T. Ruutu
Kaberle
Ott
Harding

I'm absolutely stacked at the center position.

[Hank Chinaski]

C-Couture
C-Getzlaf
C-Stepan
LW-Vanek
LW-Kovalchuk
LW-D. Brown
RW-Alfredsson
RW-Callahan
RW-Clowe
F-Legwand
F-Umberger
F-Stalberg

D-Girardi
D-Ehrhoff
D-Carle
D-Kronwall
D-Leddy
D-Nikitin

G-Brzygalov
G-Backstrom
G-Theodore

BN-Brodziak
BN-Hemsky
BN-Brouwer
BN-Jones

Not too shabby. Brown, Cally and Girardi have good value in this format, plus I'm counting on Getzlaf to have a strong bounce-back season.

Dunno if there's any interest, but I'd be open to moving Universe, Backstrom or Theodore for the right price.
