So we're saying goodbye to a couple of non-active GM's and dispersing their teams. The LM has decided that each remaining GM will get to pick one player from either team (not one from each) and the rest of the players will go into our draft. The player we select now won't count towards our 5 keepers, it's essentially a 6th keeper.

I won the league last year, so I pick last (11th). I've decided to target a defenceman since all the premier forwards will be LONG gone by then. We're doing the draft via email right now, there are 6 players left to be selected, so some of these guys will be gone before I get a shot at them. The remaining defenceman I'm targeting are:

Visnovsky
Enstrom
Burns
Pietrangelo
Wisniewski
Pronger
Boyle

I'd guess that Visnovsky, Boyle and Pronger will probably be gone for sure, but could you guys rank them in the order you'd select them? Scoring is in sig.

It's nice to finally have the ol' fantasy hockey gears turning again!

I'm going to have to go with Alex Pietrangelo from this group. A nice young keeper on a team that should increasingly improve from here on out. Factor that in with the potential for he and Shattenkirk (also offensively gifted) to be a pairing for a long-time and I like him the best as a keeper from this group.

For a keeper, my rankings would be as follows:

Pietrangelo
Enstrom
Burns
Visnovsky
Boyle
Pronger
Wisniewski

Thanks gents. Enstrom is off the board, I'm thinking Pietrangelo may actually fall down to me, I'll grab him if I can. Burns and Boyle kind of worry me, I'm thinking they may cut into each other's point totals. Shattenkirk seems like less of a threat to Pietranglo's numbers, I think.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say Wisniewski... He is a bit of a band-aid boy, so be pre-warned... but Columbus doesn't have a true PP QB, and Wissy is going to be that "go to" guy on the PP with Nash, Carter and Prospal... He'll get tons of time without much competition. He has the highest potential IMO.

I wouldn't be too turn off from Burns. Last year Boyle kind had to carry the load on his shoulders. Having two players that can get the job done will be like what the Sharks had a few years ago with Blake and Boyle. Where Boyle posted 57 and Blake 45 three years ago, or 58 and 30 a couple years back... so I wouldn't be too scared for Burns' production.
