Mario Lemieux - C, Penguins

I called Jamie and left him a message about him being up for the next 2 picks.

Don't mind me...

I'm going to take a chance on the new kid:  Sidney Crosby, C, Pittsburgh

This will either be a really smart move or the dumbest move all draft.  Time will tell.

Well holy **** :o  You're right Jesse, either you're a genius or a flipping moron.  We'll see with time.  I thought he'd last until round five or so. 

This is going to be one mighty interesting draft I think.

BTW, I have Scott's picks to take us through the first 50 players or so. :)

Thanks Jason :)

I won't complain about his pick, it dropped Thornton in my lap.   ;D

As a huge Bruin fan, you have no idea how hard that decision was ...   :'(

You're a B's fan and you picked an unproven kid over Thornton???  Wow.

I just noticed somthing:

We have 5 positions on our teams, but only 4 bench positions. Shouldn't we have 5 bench spots, so we can carry backups for each position?

You already have a backup goalie I think.  Haven't checked, but you may be able to play only one at a time.  It's a default setting I believe.  

As for Jesse's pick, I'd say a lot hinges on Lemieux's health this year for Crosby, so you and Jason look fairly linked together at this point.  Hope you kids get along :P

If they call the game the way they say they are going to, Super Mario will go off and I'm sure Crosby will put up some good numbers, but I wouldn't have grabbed him in the 1st round.

Ok, I took a gander and I can change the roster to be set up more to reflect what Kevin accurately pointed out.  

I'm somewhat inclined to do just that so that the rosters look like this:

Active/Starting:
2 C
2 LW
2 RW
4 Def
1 G

Bench (5 positions, you can set them how you like but it would reflect one for each position).  

Alternately I could add a third goalie position and hence a round in the draft.  That may be the best option, leaving everyone with two full lines (LW-C-RW-D-D-G) and a full set of spares.  

Thoughts?

And he stays healthy :P

That's fine by me Brent.  The last round will mainly consist of grabbing 3rd string goalies most likely.

Sounds ultimatley fair, Brent. You could leave that last draft round out and let us all scramble and trade over free agency.

So as it looks right now, I can only start one goalie per night? It doesn't look that way on the team page...looks like two per night.
