Ovechkin in all 4....it's almost weird to think that getting Crosby was the consolation prize.

First Round of my 15 person Snake Draft.

1. Ovechkin
2. Crosby
3. Iginla
4. Datsyuk
5. Lecavalier
6. Thornton
7. Malkin
8. Heatley (My Pick)
9. Spezza
10. Hossa
11. Zetterburg
12. Savard
13. Kovalchuk
14. E. Staal
15. Alfredsson

I would think that would be most people's top 15. Maybe not in this specific order.

I found Malkin was going 3rd in just about all my drafts. Lidstrom was top 10 in all and Phaneuf cracked top 15 in a couple. Also because of depth at center Zetterburg usually went ahead of Datsyuk.

To clarify, my pool is 10 stakes, 1 goalies, and a sleeper. Bottom point getter doesn't count. Straight points. Goals and assists worth 1 each, 2 points for a goalie win, and 2 more for a goalie shut out.

That being said, Phaneuf or Lidstrom in the first round would be nearly a waste.

Malkin stayed in the middle of the first round because most of the people I draft figure that an healthy Crosby will take some of the minutes away from Malkin which one would think will drop the point total.

Most of mine are rotisserie (spelling?), makes things a bit trickier. Plus/Minus, Goals, Assists, PIM, PPG,PPA, SHG, SHA, Shots, GWG plus goalie stats rounding it out. If you just take the guy who you think will score the most points chances are you'll lose.

1. Ovechkin
2. Malkin
3. Crosby
4. B. Richards
5. Datsyuk
6. Thornton
7. Spezza (My pick)
8. Iginla
9. Hossa
10. Zetterberg
11. Kovalchuk
12. Nabokov

The reason Malkin went second here is because the guy picking had Crosby last year, so he said no to Crosby haha. The guy in 4 who picked Richards don't ask me I have no clue what he was thinking.

Points were as follows: 1 pt. per goal, 1 pt. per assist (goalies and players)
Goalie win is 2 pts., shutout is an additional 5

That has to be the highest Zherdev was drafted this year. I was talking to his mother a few weeks ago and even she passed up on him in the 5th round.
