So my fantasy draft for hockey is Sunday. It's my first time so does anyone have any advice on how I should draft?

Pick an interesting name for starters...

I picked a new one this year. "Fartbox Tongue Punchers"

The lower salary cap this year is an absolute KILLER. VERY different this year...

much harder this year

in the past you could fit 7 or 8 studs up front but now your hoping fringe second liners can get the job done

and this is assuming you go cheap on D and Goalies

I was absolutely blown away. Like you said, in years past you could pick at least one stud for all positions. This year you can pick maybe one or two TOTAL.

Hard to find value. I'm watching 'Moneyball' right now to try and pick up a few pointers...

Seems like there was no support for Miller... Outshot 31-18, 1-0 loss. Only goal was a SHG by Dwyer.

Hackett would have stopped it...

If he was playing instead of Miller we'd be listening to a shootout !

Sounded like we were penalized a lot. We seem to play a lot of 1-0 games against Carolina.

I think we'll have to get used to this. I don't see us scoring many goals this year.

Just got done with my first ever ban! Woo-woo.

Convos I missed on:

Chicken wings=Wegman's organic are lower price than their non-organic and way tastier. Grill for 30 minutes+ Frank's and a little butter. OR grill w/ bbq sauce for last 10 minutes.

Cats= Had to have 2 pals put down in the last year. Both males, both were awesome and friendly (one was only friendly to me. the other to the wife). Still have 1 female left from the bunch...about 13 years old.

Leafs=still suck.

Armia=HOW did his hand break? Haven't heard, so I figure it was being checked or something...not a cheapshot hack I assume.
