I think Beyond Earth is alright since Rising Tide, I still prefer the mainline Civ though.

Fantasy drafting this year feels harder than ever. It feels like there are a bunch of players that have been dominant for years that are slipping (like Backström and Malkin) at the same time as there are a bunch of kids that are hard to place like Gaudreau, Kuznetsov and Ghost Bear.
And am I crazy for thinking about McJesus at #1 in a non keeper league?

Gone are the days where Crosby was the #1 consensus pick.
I think you can definitely make the argument, but is he really gonna out score Crosby, Kane, Benn, etc, etc? Doesn't seem like a risk you need to be taking at #1, because the best case scenario is he's better than those guys by a little bit.
Also I just did my draft and one thing I noticed this year is there are tons of good forwards available. If it's yahoo, you'll find several top 6 and even first line players ranked 100+. For example Henrik Sedin was at 150 or so and Tyler Johnson at 114 and RNH could be had in the 200s.

Yeah I agree with it being an unnecessary risk. We also give some points for tackles and blocket shots so Ovie is usually the safest bet. Crosby seems pretty damn safe. For Kane I feel like the sky is the roof but it is pretty hard to know what the floor is. But if he is injury free he should be top 3 in points I guess.
As you say there are plenty of point producing players going late but at the same time RNH and H. Sedinhas never been as good in fantasy as in real life.

I admit I laughed. Even on the radio on one of the goals they weren't sure if it was Matthews who scored it and seemed more focused on him than the goal.
Also, creeper, why would we keep Prust even as a 13th if you already said yourself we have Martin? I didn't see anything from either of them to fill me with confidence

So smelly was the reason Price got injured
Prust is teaching Marner how to fight the right way

I remember when Bolland got cut and was out for almost the whole season. At the time it seemed like a massive loss, heh.

Ehh, as much as I'm glad he's gone, he was playing decently in the extremely limited time he was with us.

Um..... Okay?
I thought maybe Huberdeau or Ekblad would be Captain. This is a very strange choice

CBJ even sour about losing him...? He didn't even seem to impress the staff there.
Veteran presence, good dude, underrated
Only salty that the ultimate return for a 1st round pick was so low. In light of recent lolOilers events though...
that's a weird choice...

It's Ekblad's in time, Dmac is a good dude tho.
Can we sacrifice all the cat posters instead?
He had a very quiet preseason

This is true.
Just me and that one Russian guy that posts once a year after the Coyotes first win of the season.

Guess they'll be keeping Brown, Leivo, and Hyman up for now. Woooooo
interesting, Bobo says Martin Frk was claimed by 3 teams. Carolina had priority so they got him.
if Frk had so much interest I find it hard to believe Leivo would sneak through
pllleeeeeaaaase

I'm still confused as to why an Unknown like Mackenzie was chosen as Captain of the Panthers

Oh and Lehkonen changed his number from 46 to 62.
That's a much better number IMO

Vanek wears 62. Either that guy is going to go off or completely disappoint.
