    C- Sidney Crosby
    C- David Backes (RW)
    LW- Scott Hartnell
    LW- Matt Moulson
    RW- Marian Gaborik
    RW- Teemu Salanne
    D- Erik Karlsson
    D- Mark Streit
    D- Kevin Bieksa
    D- Christian Ehrhoff
    B- Jordan Staal (C, LW)
    B- Jakub Voracek (RW)
    B- Andrei Markov (D)

    G- Mike Smith

      Goalies are great. Other than that, I'd say the team is fine. No major holes but not much upside either. A lot of your guys are old and/or injury prone. In a 10 team league I'd be willing to bet there are some gems in FA. Maybe try some 2 for 1's, get some quality over quantity and pick up FA guys.

      Either way, those goalies will keep you in it all year.

      I agree with Milk;s analysis with only one exception.

      Consider dropping Ehrhoff for a D that offers a superb +/- Check last years stats for FA's
      Hanhuis, one of the Boston Dmen or someone else but there is sure to be someone that can help in this stat
