I'd throw Brendan Shanahan and Jarome Iginla into the mix, too. For later rounds, as much as people hate him, Sean Avery puts up good numbers in the categories that count. He puts up a lot of penalty minutes, and he can score. He's pretty versatile on a fantasy team. Also, I wouldn't gripe about this too much, Mike, but there are two in the NHL now, with different spellings. The goalie is Niklas Backstrom with no 'c'. Nicklas Backstrom is a center for the Capitals, so if you're drafting a team, pay attention to that. http://capitals.nhl.com/team/app?page=PlayerDetail&playerId=8473563&service=page Mike sweet much got it all there.

Players that you should try to get (no particular order): Sidney Crosby Alexander Ovechkin Dany Heatley Jason Spezza Paul Stastny Joe Sakic Jordan Staal Vinny Lecavalier Marty St. Louis Henrik Zetterberg Pavel Datsyuk Ryan Smyth Alexander Semin Marc Savard Joe Thornton Marian Hossa Jaromir Jagr Daniel Briere Evgeni Malkin Anze Kopitar Eric Staal Those are forwards who I think will score a lot next season and will be beneficial to your team, there's probably some guys I forgot, but this is just off the top of my head. Try to get 2 players from the list above. As for defensemen, you don't really need them that much, they don't score a lot, don't waste your high picks on defensemen, unless it's either Lidstrom, Niedermayer, Pronger, or Gonchar. Defensemen should usually be drafted in the lower rounds, get D-men that will give you a lot of penalty minutes (you need that) like Kevin Bieksa or Steve Montador. The most important parts of any Fantasy hockey team are the goalies, you should always have at least 2 better than average goalies on your team. Here are the premier goalies that should do pretty good next year (no particular order): Marc-Andre Fleury (plays for the Pens so he'll win a lot) Roberto Luongo Martin Brodeur Jean-Sebastien Giguere Miikka Kiprusoff Ryan Miller Henrik Lundqvist Niklas Backstrom Kari Lehtonen Ray Emery Tomas Vokoun You should absolutely try to get at least one of those guys on your team, if not 2. Overall, the Yahoo player rankings are usually pretty good, if you're in doubt during the draft, it's okay to just go for the highest rated player, even if you don't know him that much. Add: Yes David D, Jarome Iginla and Brendan Shanahan should definitely be on that list, but again, I'm not going to list every good player in the league. Sean Avery is definitely a must for any fantasy hockey team, I can't believe I forgot about him, he scores and his PIMs are through the roof. And yes, I was wrong, I did mean Niklas Backstrom the goalie, not NiCklas Backstrom the center that'll play for the Caps. Do not get any Red Wing players except for Nicklas Lidstrom, Henrik Zetterberg and Pavel Datsyuk, trust me, the wings are a very balanced scoring team no one player scores a lot, but instead all the players score a small, that’s not what you need in fantasy hockey. Players that you should try to get (no particular order):

Sidney Crosby
Alexander Ovechkin
Dany Heatley
Jason Spezza
Paul Stastny
Joe Sakic
Jordan Staal
Vinny Lecavalier
Marty St. Louis
Henrik Zetterberg
Pavel Datsyuk
Ryan Smyth
Alexander Semin
Marc Savard
Joe Thornton
Marian Hossa
Jaromir Jagr
Daniel Briere
Evgeni Malkin
Anze Kopitar
Eric Staal

Those are forwards who I reckon will score a lot next season and will be beneficial to your team, there’s probably some guys I forgot, but this is just off the top of my head. Try to get 2 players from the list above. As for defensemen, you don’t really need them that much, they don’t score a lot, don’t dissipate your high picks on defensemen, unless it’s either Lidstrom, Niedermayer, Pronger, or Gonchar. Defensemen should usually be drafted in the lower rounds, get D-men that will give you a lot of penalty minutes (you need that) like Kevin Bieksa or Steve Montador. The most vital parts of any Fantasy hockey team are the goalies, you should always have at least 2 better than average goalies on your team. Here are the premier goalies that should do sweet excellent next year (no particular order):

Marc-Andre Fleury (plays for the Pens so he’ll win a lot)
Roberto Luongo

Jean-Sebastien Giguere

Ryan Miller
Henrik Lundqvist
Niklas Backstrom

Add:

Yes David D, Jarome Iginla and Brendan Shanahan should certainly be on that list, but again, I’m not vacant to list every excellent player in the league. Sean Avery is certainly a must for any fantasy hockey team, I can’t judge I forgot about him, he scores and his PIMs are through the roof. And yes, I was incorrect, I did mean Niklas Backstrom the goalie, not NiCklas Backstrom the center that’ll play for the Caps.

Alexander Semin he's just as good as ovechkin in the scoring department maybe better and he's amazingly fast. Anze kopitar the kids got a bright future and he can score goals. Philippe Boucher defense he's 1 hell of a defender and he also can score for ya he got a hatrtick last season and was 3rd in scoring for the stars Mike Ribeiro yea he's knon in montreal for faking injury but dont let that fool ya he's got some good moves and he cans score for 1 of your back up goalies you should grab Mike Smith He went 12-5 last season and he had 5 shutouts including 1 in his first game. or nicklas backstrum the wild goalie here’s a couple excellent players to pick that are sort of under the radar. Alexander Semin he’s just as excellent as ovechkin in the scoring specialty maybe better and he’s amazingly quick.
