Hey, I just did my first keeper league draft, (keep 4 players end of the year), in a standard yahoo pool. I thought I\'d share my team and ask for ideas.

The stats are pretty standard: G, A, +/-, PPP, SHP, SHOTS, GWG, W, SV%, GAA, SO.

My draft order: Ovechkin, Iginla, Fleury, Gaborik, Richards, Mccabe, H. Sedin, Sundin, Michalak, Toskala, Liles, Bieksa, Parise, Nagy, Huet, Biron.

My team shapes up like this:

Center: Sedin, Richards
Left: Michalak, OVechkin
Right: Iginla, Gaborik
D: Mccabe, Bieksa, Liles, (one short)
G: FLeury, TOskala, Biron, Huet
Util: Sundin
Bench: Parise, Nagy

what are your thoughts? I\'d love any feedback

Looks like you did a good job. You have 4 good keepers some good now players and nice depth. The thing i would like to know is whats the deal with being short a d man? Can you aquire one? Whats the penalty for being short? And if you are penalized and can aquire one then you need to get on it .

i took huet and biron last 2 picks, i simply thought they are too good to go to FA market, and i\'ll hold them until i see some good trade offers or see how those goalies play out.

not having a D man will cost me a few stats, but hopefully i can manage.

Yah your goalie depth could be great for trading. But what i meant was is there an easy way to get that 4\'th d? Like free agent signing or the like?

to add a player i\'ll have to drop a player, SO im gonna have to wait and see, Ideally i want 3 goalies, so i\'m gonna see how it all pans out.

ahh i see a fixed roster size. Points accumulated weekly or only year end stats count?

weekly head to head match ups in yahoo. have you done that before?

Hard to tell how you did without knowing league size - could be fanatastic or really bad.

its a 10 man league

Looks pretty decent - good mix of offense in that crew - might struggle in +/- every week - not sure your goaltenders are going to be as good as you need them to be week in and week out.

I would be reasonably happy to take this team forward - there are a few guys on the roster who could make a big difference if they get in the groove and stay healthy - Nagy, Gaborik and Sundin.

You should be able to get these guys to the playoffs.
