Since this is just a fantasy, I've also assumed that injuries don't count. And I realize that some players will have to move off their natural sides. Here is my playoff dream team (at least this is how I feel today anyway)
Ovechkin / Crosby / Malkin
Heatley / Savard / Datsyuk
Iginla / Thornton / Lecavalier
Doan / Draper / Burrows
(Kovalchuk)
Lidstrom / Niedermayer
Green / Phaneuf
Chara / Regher
(Boyle)
Luongo
Brodeur
(Kiprusoff)

Who would I choose for THIS YEAR'S playoff pool, if I could choose a dream team?
I think some people here have forgotten how to pick playoff pools . . . final four team players should dominate, with a couple of superstars who make it to the second round thrown in.
Forwards
Elias, Langenbrunner, Parise, Zajac, Gionta
Datsyuk, Zetterberg, Hossa, Franzen
Krejci
Crosby
Kane
Defence
Martin, Oduya
Rafalski, Lidstrom
Green
Gonchar
Goalies
Brodeur
Conklin
Guess who I think is meeting in the final?

| In play off pools it's not nessecarily about picking the best players but they players on the teams that will play further into the play offs and play the most games. I don't like the spread the wealth out startegy. I'm sink or swim, I pick the 4 teams making the conference finals and only pick from those teams. If it works out awesome, if it doesn't there's always next year. |

Absolutely spot on! The only way to win a pool is to maximize the man games played. A few years back I won the playoff pool. The year that Ottawa lost to Anaheim. It was not a draft style, so I had Heatley, Alfredsson, Spezza, Perry, Getzlaf, Selanne, Pronger who all made the final. Above that, I had Datsyuk, Zetterberg, Holmstrom, and I think Jagr and Nylander did well for me that playoff as well.
Point being, the teams that make the finals will have at least a couple of players near the top or at the top in playoff scoring. You need those guys to win a playoff pool.
For this season, I would personally load up on Detroit, New Jersey, Philly, Pittsburgh, San Jose, and Calgary. Those, in my opinion, are the cream of the crop. |
