What do you guys think. Hit me with the honest truth, I wasn't too happy with how my team turned out but I think it's serviceable enough. Went really boom/bust on a bunch of picks.
Firstly, being a H2H league as long as you have IR slots then I don't mind rostering band aid boys - as long as they produce when healthy. Otherwise, it's a decent squad and as mentioned there is risk (BAB, relying on breakouts/bouncebacks), but it could pay off. It also seems like you've pretty much punted PIM, which is no big deal in a H2H (hard to predict it weekly) as long as you make up for it elsewhere.

Great goaltending, though for me I don't think you needed to grab two goalies that early (I assume Bryz in the 2nd? Or 3rd?). Even though there's a 40% goalie category ratio, in H2H you don't need the studs to be successful. If you did get Bryzgalov in the 2nd, I would have preferred you pick a forward instead in that spot since you already had Quick. What was your draft slot? But I do hope your goaltending works out since I have Bryzgalov and Varlamov in the RHRS!

I would consider using one of your goalies as trade bait, especially if they start off well. There's bound to be a manager who's looking for an upgrade and the perceived value of goaltending in this league is likely high so you could take advantage. Of course depends on the fit.
