10 man league, I will say half the guys were at a Jets game and had to autodraft with Yahoo based on their Draft Rankings.

Thats my plan, pretty happy about my draft, I resisted the homer picks by loading up wtih Avs like I do every year....I pick Johnson thinking he is going to break out, and I am always disappointed

Not really. I was just mad we didn't trade him at the deadline. Knew he was going to Toronto.

He's not very useful defensively. He's not a center. He's a pure sniper. He's usually pretty invisible until he pops up and scores a goal. The kind of guy who waits around the other team's blue line to try to get a breakaway.

Couldn't be happier with this signing. He will work well in the Devils system.

if he gets 25-30 goals he will with out a doubt help this team as that is the area I see a few guys hitting like Ryder Elias and Henrique

He has the talent on offense.
He went 20 games between goals with the Wings, hopefully he's better prepared for his 2nd season in the NHL.

Yeah he did some of that. He's got great hands and decent speed and when he was on he had a knack for finding the puck.

He should be good for 20 goals and could get 30 or more if everything goes right. It just helps if his linemates can get back defensively to pick up some of the slack there. Wasn't much of a problem on the Wings with him playing with guys like Zetterberg and Andersson. I don't imagine it will be a big issue on the Devils either.

Considering Nashville spent 2 mil for 4th line guys it's a great deal. Devils are doing a decent job of replacing the kovalchuk pieces

could've received at least a 2nd round pick for him. did we really think we had a shot at the postseason? tis a shame. Could've used another 2nd! Santini looks like he's going to be a solid dman in a few years!

Love the deal. Brunner will help this team. But personally i think he will be on a line with Elias. DeBoer likes what he sees from them in the preseason. and now with Brunner signed, he can work with both of them on a line together.

What i think:

Brunner-Zajac-Elias
Ryder-Henrique-Jagr
Clowe-Josefsen-Zubrus
Carter-Loktionov-Bernier

Olesz Gionta

Greene-Larsson
Salvador-Volchenkov
Zidlicky-Harrold

Fayne

Brodeur
Schneider

1 more spot available in a 20 team league. This is the hockeybuzz league I've been running the past 3 years. Full rosters, 1 goalie. Stats include BLK, HIT, FW, SOG, etc.

Draft is the 30th at 10:15pm EST.

may or may not be for money- just 10 bucks. Still on the fence with that. Leaning towards no.
If it were to include money it would be through paypal:
The 8 playoff teams would get their $10 back. 2 divisions- president's trophy gets bonus 10, other div winner gets bonus 5. Overall winner gets 45, 2nd place 30, 3rd place 20. 5th place (consolation winner) would get 10.
