Who will win this league? A fantasy analysis
Posted 2:45 PM ET | Comments 8
I participate in a 12 man fantasy league and we draft very early before every season. Our draft was conducted last weekend. The league is very competitive and is worth quite a bit of money by fantasy league standards or atleast by college student income standards, seeing as we are almost entirely composed of college students. The requirements of the league are also very interesting as myself and a good friend have tried to make the league have complicated rosters and a simple point system. Rosters include a captain, a rookie, 2 centers, 4 wingers, 3 defenseman and 2 goalies. Points are awarded by goals(5) assists(3) PIMs(1 per minor, 2 for 5 min, and 2 for 10 min misc.) Hat trick(8 point bonus) Playmaker(5 point bonus). Goaltenders recieve points for win(3), shutout(5 point bonus) assist(5) goal(10).

the spider pigs or the nation of domintation.... star dashes no chance
spider pigs if sakic is gonna come back
sick gamby or hybrids, hands down
Spider pigs
Team Sick Gamby or The Hybrids
Sick Gamby, Hybrids, Brown Noise, Spider pigs... it'll be between those 4!
Stan Darshes picked Wilson. Unless you award for points for NCAA games then that was a wasted pick. Not sure why Giroux wasn't picked as one of the rookies. Kevin Porter???
spider pigs edge out nation of domination
