    You got Malkin! Likely to lead the league in shots, and be there or thereabouts in goals, assists and powerplay points. Not a bad problem to have!

    I think he could be even better than last season too, if Crosby plays a full season.

    Gotta say that was fun. Although any strategy I had kinda went out after the first couple of rounds as guys started to drop.

    Got my first pick in Sequin, think he is going to have a stellar season, or half season should I say. Glad to get Bobby Ryan too, would love to see him become a Bruin.

    Really wanted Shea Weber, but happy to get Seidenberg anyway. Can't wait for Saturday now.

    We should defend our way of life to an extent that any attempt on it is crushed, so that any adversary will never make such an attempt in the future.

    Yeah but having no.1 means you don't pick again until 24 !

    Happy enough with my team. Think about three times a player was picked that I wanted just before my turn but that's all part of the fun. Should make the season all that more interesting.

    You nicked Marchand and Wideman from in front of my nose. Was really hoping to get Bergeron, Marchand and Seguin together again this year. They were fantastic for me last season.

    That's what it's all about. It's all a bit of fun at the end of the day.

    Having said that, I just tweeted half my team to tell them to cop themselves on and get the job done. Will see how that works out for me.

    Is it possible to offer trades already?

    I'm (Bettman's Angels) open to trade offers for some of my roster, FYI. There are some (5 or so) I'm not getting rid of, but everyone else on the roster has their price.

    Who are the players you won't trade?

    Weber, Schultz, Sid, Schneider, Heatley.

    Various reasons why I want to hold on to them: Sid is there for the long haul, Schultz should at least have a much better trade value in a month or two, Heatley is versatile.

    50 Fantasy NHL Predictions

    Quite happy with this. Predictions for some of my draft picks:

    1. Jamie Benn (77th pick) will become an elite Fantasy player this year, finishing top 10 or possibly even top 5. Just needs to get this contract sorted. Predicted to finish as one of 18 players with more than a point-per-game.

    2. Corey Perry (7th pick) to finish top of the PP goals column and possibly shots, with over a point-per-game average.

    3. Scott Hartnell (18th pick) to continue to rack up the PIM's, over 80 predicted.

    4. Ryan Miller (55th pick) to be a top-3 goaltender.

    5. Jordan Staal (103rd pick) to score more goals and points than Alex Semin.

    6. Damien Brunner (186th pick) to record over 30pts in his debut season.

    I disagree where it says things about older players slowing down (eg Elias). This season is a sprint, so declines won't be nearly as noticeable, IMO.

    I disagree with a lot of what he said (the Crosby v Toews argument especially) but I like to pick and choose the ones that suit me.

    Positive. Mental. Attitude!

    I disagree with him in relation to Jason Pominville. He is a player in his prime, he has been playing hockey during the lockout and I see no reason for such a decline this season. He will hit the ground running.

    I think he might be correct on Dubinsky though. I was hemming and hawing over him during the draft. I think he will flourish away from the bright lights of NY. What do people think?

    Have Subban as one of only four D on my team. Quality drafting right there.

    Hope Toronto destroy them tonight.

    I concur. I was doing fine until Brodeur and Fluery had a woeful time last week.

    Tell me about it. Kinda my own fault, as I wanted to draft Niemi as my number 2 but I held on too long and he was picked just before I was gonna pull the trigger on him. Picked Kiprusoff instead and outside of last night he has been rubbish. Lundy aint far behind him...
