Breakdown of my fantasy team. 

I have just completed drafting my fantasy team, so it felt like a good subject to write my VHL.com article about. 

 

I had the 4th overall selection, so picking in the middle of the rounds each time. So being able to draft the highest scoring forward from last seasons fantasy in Christian Mingle seemed like a no brainer for me. For this season I had decided to go for my three forwards first. I actually had select Jeffrey Pines when it came back to me for the second round of picks, but wasn’t aware he switched to defense. So I switched this pick to Luke Thornton instead. I’m glad he was still on the board as he was someone I had already eyed when I opted for Pines. The third forward I considered for that pick was my own player, I just love having myself on my fantasy team, but figured I could still grab myself in the third. Luckily I still managed to get myself this time around.

 

Time for the defense: I am not sure why I picked Letang, the leagues biggest goon at the moment. This might be the biggest mistake this season. Luckily I made up for it with my second defenseman, whom I picked in the last round. Bob Tristan was a great pick last year so I was surprised still seeing him on the boards.

 

As goalie, I went with Sirkants Klamasteris, goalies are a crapshoot, but Toronto started the season with a 6 game winning streak, so hoping this pick pays off for me.
