  • Finished Drafting. Potential winner? Any advice?

    8 Team Roto League. 2nd year and we pick 6 keepers from last.

    Stats are.
    G, A, +/-, PIM, PPP, GWG, SOG, HITS
    W, GAA, SV%, SO

    My keepers from last year were

    Steven Stamkos
    Claude Giroux
    Thomas Vanek
    Alex Pietrangelo
    Henrik Lundqvist
    Pekka Rinne

    This is what my team looks like after the draft.

    C - Stamkos
    C - Giroux
    C - Backstrom
    LW - Datsyuk
    LW - Vanek
    LW - Eriksson
    RW - Brown
    RW - Heatley
    RW - Havlat
    F - Clowe
    F - Bergeron
    F - O'Reilly
    D - Pietrangelo
    D - Doughty
    D - Phaneuf
    D - Giordano
    Util - Erat
    Util - Neil
    Bn - Ott
    Bn - Dubinsky
    Bn - Hamonic
    Bn - Baertschi
    Bn - Henrique

    G - Lundqvist
    G - Rinne
    G - Pavelec

    I think I'm pretty much set. There is another team who was stacked with their keepers as well.

    But Scoring shouldn't be an issue and I have huge PIM and HITS producers in Ott, Dubinsky, Neil, Clowe and Brown.

    Defense could use some upgrading, but I'm not sure who I should trade.

    Goalies I'm pretty much set on and I'll have to drop O'Reilly for someone if he doesn't sign by opening day.

      That's definitely a contending team in my league. In fact, I'm surprised you managed to snag that combination.

      You're right in that your D-men are the only semi-weak link, but they're not so bad either. Doughty could easily be a top 5 D-man, and Pietrangelo will keep your +/- high all while contributing some decent numbers as well.

      I'm not a huge fan of Vanek personally. I know he had a good start last year, but he wasn't able to sustain it, and I have a feeling it won't carry through this whole season either. Some people seem to like him a lot though, so you may be able to beef up your defense by trading him out. Havlat is hit or miss as well, so maybe a combo of those two could give you a solid D-man in return.

      I think that your team is very much a contender, well done. However the only thing is sometimes in an 8-team league there are multiple contenders.
