Oh boy, we are just days away from the regular season now. I wanted to post the 2nd installment of FT50 before the regular season gets under way, you may notice a few changes. Any difference from the last, may be because of any announcements or rumours of line combinations that I have heard since the last post. Also the news of Gonchar's injury has dropped him off the list. Next to the player I chose I will list the statistics he can help a fantasy team in that are used by a majority of fantasy leagues and by which statistic he will help you most in. When a player is listed with the letter IP next to their name, it means they are prone to injury and have probably been placed lower then I would like based on the fact that they could lose games to injury.Also as a note- I am not really big on Goalies, but there will be a few in there.
