sorry for the long question but here it goes....
OK, 16 teams, 15 keepers. almost all the keeper lists are in and draft in about 10 days. I've got the 11th pick. Yahoo league (so anyone listed in yahoo is eligible). The fact that FWs and SHP are categories plus having extra F and Utility starting spots we end up making centers more valuable than wings.
mainly looking at forwards at this time
these younger guys are protected:
howard, leino, brassard, moller, brunnstrom, stamkos, okposo, oshie, neal, giroux, purcell, bogosian, voracek, foligno, filppula, turris, hodgson, filatov, varlamov (am assuming boedker, rask, crawford, schenn and doughty will be protected as well).
this year's draftees are available, for example obviously Tavaras, Duchene, Hedman, Gustavsson.
other youngsters available:
bailey, macarthur, gillies, comeau, pacioretty, beach, sheppard, anisimov, gerbe, backlund
schneider, pavelec, neuvirth
Ray Emery is available
some of the veterans available:
plekanac, avery, carcillo, hejduk, cullen, clarkson, stajan,
ruutu, penner, huselius, stempniak, stillman, bertuzzi, weight, fedotenko, rolston, vermette, cleary, jas. williams, laich
For the draft, I'm assuming tavaras, duchene, emery, and gustavsson go before I'm up but if any slipped for some reason, I'd grab them. After that, my thought is to look at a veteran to fill needs (centers or PIM guys; the first row under available veterans above).
So the first question here is are there some other kids coming up that I should be looking at before these veterans? I have to say that having Plekanec or Stajan being my first pick in a draft is less than inspiring.
