[MGD24]

also, byfuglien is who i wanted to take with my last pick, and definitely would have had there been a guarantee that he'll have D eligibility this season.. but i dont think he'll get it

and gyro, are those your own projections?
cause i cant imagine any pros out there underestimating getzlaf and backstrom to the extent you appear to have
wanna trade?

those are last years stats

False.

Yep, they're last year's stats. I don't know about 100 pts for either of them. It's entirely possible I suppose, but I'd be happy with the equivalent of last year's production from both. Including Getzlaf's 120+ PIMS.

[RoyceDa59]

I expect 25 goals, 90 points from Getzlaf with, 120+ PIMS. 20 goals, 95 points from Backstrom with 50 PIM's.

[bronxbombers07]

my predictions on who has the best team.
1. bronxbombers07 - very strong forwards / solid round D and excellent G's / perfect team
2. gyro - huge power forwards
3. wreckedangular - OV + Savard = points
4. LarryBonds - solid forwards and goaltending
5. type1DIABEETUS - average forwards supported by malkin - shaky G - could be huge
6. qmclafferty82 - meh
7. OldNo7 - hinges on jonas hillers non-existent career
8. CollangeloHatesAlbinos - too many leafs/flyers - if those teams slump, albino will as well.
9. Hoser_Omega - vets team / cant go wrong with iggy/thorton combo tho
10. RoyceDa59 - keep staal and green. sell the rest.
11. MGD24 - after the first 5 years of this keeper. team might show some promise
12. JCREP44 - sucks to have last draft position / well rounded team tho

i gotta say top 3 is interchangeable between gyro, bronx, and larry
all your teams are **** stacked, its sickening

[gyro]

There are 7 categories for skaters, but only 5 for goalies.
Of these categories, there is only 1 skater category that a person can go backwards in: +/-
With the goalie stats, 3 of the 5 stats can go backwards if your goalie happens to get shelled: L, SV%, and GAA (and even Brodeur and Luongo get shelled from time to time).

My team was geared towards maxing out the skater categories (I'll take my chances with +/-).
As for goaltending, Pittsburgh plays 3 games per week so I'll just be aiming for L, SV%, and GAA and will be (for the most part) punting W's and Shutouts.

I have no idea why some people placed such a premium on goalies, when the stats favour skaters. If it was a roto league it would make sense, but in a H2H I don't understand it. This is not to criticize those who drafted heavy in goal early -- just that the categories didn't seem to justify it.

Just my two cents though. If we had saves as a category I would have taken another starter instead of Brent Johnson.

I agree with wreckedangle's picks. If everyone stays healthy, bronx is the one that I would least like to face.

...

[MGD24]

from this point forward my comments will cease for the rest of this regular season.

my team will do the talking.

good night.

[OldNo7]

I predict Mike's silence lasts until the day before the regular season when he yells at Dan that his team will suck all season

[type1DIABEETUS]

guys guys guys...lets cut the bull..you know i'm gonna be the champ. its written in the stars. go me go!

[gyro]

The best team is clearly debatable.
The best avatar is not: 1st place goes to wreckdangular hands down.

[LarryBonds]
