Pretty strong team there. My 4 picks in a row between 18-19th round should strengthen my team. Might have to draft 4 dmen.

see any glaring holes for me, eric?

and yea, you definitely need to get your D men going

Duncan Keith be a good start tho

As you fill your roster, you will probably solve the PIM issue. Outside of Iginla, I don't really see many PIM guys on your roster. Team looks good, but if Crosby isnt 100%, that could be a disaster.

cool thanks...
i think maybe i shoulda got some forwards with PIM

Pretty cool you got all those players so quickly. Nice job finagling!

thanks!

def diggin' this team and think i can win/compete for my division in year 1

glad i decided to play =)

The burning question is how long this roster stays intact???

Of the 20 draftees, I'd say trading away 5 guys (or a quarter) is quite substantial and would make a a good over/under standard.

So I say JI trades >5 guys in 30 days. What's your over/under on this line?

this will be the team that i leave in tact and then go on to win

all cuz hockey is my least knowledgeable sport!!

crap! the house may be brought down on this one...

i trade a lot when a) i think i can get value, b) need pieces to improve or c) im not happy with my team

i dont know too much about hockey, but im happy with this team and think i can win my division with this starting lineup

sooooooooooo glad i kept crosby

not bad team but this is small league there will more strong teams. if you don't know much about hockey this draft is really amazing, congrats.
