On Saturday I have an inaugural draft for a keeper league, if you were me who would you try to build your team around, points only, It\'s a salary cap league and I already know Sid and Big Joe will be going for way too much $$$(please rank)

1 Ovechkin
2 Spezza
3 Heatley
4 Malkin
5 Kovalchuk
6 Gaborik
7 Radulov

:unsure:

It is all about getting bang for your buck, so gage how others are evaluating their players. Don\'t be afraid to pickup guys who had bad years last year like Kovalchuk and E. Stall, who typically go for less after a bad year... I would spend as much as it takes for Ovechkin (you will never regret it) and try to save money elsewhere.

1 Ovechkin
2 Malkin
3 Spezza
4 Heatley
5 Kovalchuk
6 Gaborik
7 Radulov

Hossa and E. Staal would be above Gaborik in this list as well, IMO. If D-men are a must in your pool, Gonchar and Whitney are worth any investment, and early on.
