No love for Kovalchuk
National News Source:Draft and Trade Talk - about 1 hour ago
Every year he puts up big goals and points...He shoots the puck a ton. The only thing that hurts him is +/- but now on a team were he will probably be +15 this year and finish top 5-10 overall on yahoo...He'll still play 20+mins this year in NJ... Read More »

your do not draft list
National News Source:Draft and Trade Talk - about 2 hours ago
Who is on your exclusion list? I'm about to auto draft and I always set up a list of players who are overrated or have a tendency to get hurt a lot. Here's my list, who would you add or subtract?
Marian Gaborik - waiting for him to get hurt (again)
Eric Staal - overrated for a 2nd pick, crap year last year
Rick Nash - crap year last year, iffy team
Tomas Vokoun - crap team in front of him
Cam Ward - crap team
Antero nittymaki - Niemi will take all his starts now
Carey Price - overrated, thi... Read More »

Eric Staal was a FORCE at the end of last season !!
great goalscorer, strong body, lots of shots ! in a league with hits counting...very nice pick!
Savard is my strongest candidate not to get drafted !... Read More »
Re: your do not draft list

Truth on Savard, hard to trust a guy with concussion history and with all the trade rumors, I can't see him staying focused. Never scored more than 30 a season, is over 30, etc..
As for Staal, perhaps I should just not exclude some of these guys but rather just rank them lower on my list. That way I don't pass them up if they drop to lower rounds.... Read More »

Re: Top 10 D: 2010-2011 Edition
National News Source:Draft and Trade Talk - about 2 hours ago
ACLs are harder to come back from, I'll give you that but this isn't the 80s or even the 90s. Players are coming back as or very nearly as good as before. Recently EJ in STL (double ACL & MCL), and Franzen in Detroit, come to mind. Besides I think it's a matter of the player's mentality and Markov's work ethic is top notch. MTL also has one of the best medical teams in the league.
One final point on Markov, that makes him a top 10. Yahoo ranks him so low he's a steal. By round 5 most, if not a... Read More »

Nabbing Markov in the 8th round is definitely a good deal. In the 12th round, it's borderline absurd. That doesn't make him a top 10 D-man in my view, but it potentially makes him a top-10 value.
You raise a good concern with Phaneuf being over-reliant on the PP. But I think the cause-effect is backwards. I think it's more "productive Phaneuf leads to productive PP" and not the other way around. With his ability to fire his booming slapper and hit the net with it, he's good enough to ... Read More »
