Stamkos, Malkin, Crosby and Ovie were off the board.

I like Neal more than Giroux b/c of injury risk, PIMs, Shots, and Neal is RW (hopefully gaining LW eligiblity) while Giroux is C.

Tavares doesn't get many PIMs and NYI is generally a +/- abyss.

I took Anderson because it was getting late and he was the only "real" goalie left, so i took him just to screw some guys who were light on goaltending.

I took neuvirth really late just to screw the Holtby owner, and the thinking was that w/ Holtby on a 2-way and Neuvirth on a 1-way, he could be the starter on an improved Caps team. Anyway, it was low-risk high reward with such a late pick.

I also considered Lundqvist at 5th overall, but this league traditionally takes a pass on goalies until later rounds, so I was hoping to get him in the 2nd or 3rd, but he wound up going later in the 1st and starting an unprecedented early run on goalies. I came out of it with Rask-Miller which I am more than comfortable with. And I think my PIM, SOG, scoring combo will be enough to carry the day here. If Lupul-Kessel are as solid as last year and Skinner bounces back, I'm not sweating my scoring. There aren't "big names", but I prefer actual value to name value any day.
