Our 1st round went like this:WOLF wrote:For you poolies, my playoff draft was last night. Here's how the first round went:
1.) H. Sedin
2.) S. Crosby
3.) E. Malkin
4.) P. Bergeron - too early IMO
5.) M. Gaborik
6.) TJ Oshie - too early IMO
7.) J. Neal (my pick; I also got I. Kovalchuk on the wraparound)
8.) B. Richards
9.) P. Datsyuk (with C. Giroux on the wraparound)
I may have made a mistake in that I spread it out, as opposed to investing in 1-2 teams. I got 2 Penguins, 2 Devils, 2 Rangers, 2 Wings, a Shark, a Blue, a Canuck, and a Hawk.
1)Crosby
2)H.Sedin
3)Gaborik
4)Malkin
5)Neal (my pick,with Radulov on the wrap around.)
6)Zetterburg
7)Letang
8)Ovechkin
9)Kovalchuk
10)Datsyuk
11)B.Richards
12)David Backes-waaay too early IMO but this guy is banking on Brian Elliott to lead the Blues all the way.He loaded up on Blues and we were all happy to oblige him.
I was hoping I could sneak Radulov in on a later round,but when people started taking Erat,Legwand,etc on their wrap around picks I knew I had to strike.
I usually try to predict the final 4 and load up on players from those teams.This year,with 12 people at the table,it made it harder to do,I got more spread out than I would've liked.I did end up picking a lot of Preds.
As it was,I ended up with:
James Neal
Radulov
Staal
Burrows
Suter
A.Kostitsyn
Anisimov
Chimera
Girardi
Hartnell
Seabrook
Malhotra
Bergenheim(hopefully he'll repeat his "John Druce" of last year)
Asham
Rinne/Smith as my goalies
