Especially this year. Eight weeks is over half the season.
I was so close to picking him up in FHL. WHEW!
I absolutely would have but for two things:
1. I'm convinced that while he's no slouch, he wouldn't have repeated last year's numbers this year. Voracek is fine and all but he's no Jagr, who drew defenses to him just by existing.
2. I was at a bad spot in the draft order to grab him at what I felt to be a reasonable position.
Number two is honestly a bigger consideration than one; I'm enough of a homer to have pulled the trigger if I had a shot.
I was in a group with all Pens fans, so he lasted a lot longer than he would've in an unbiased group. And I *just* missed picking him up. That said, I just picked up Tarasenko, so I'm feeling pretty good...
Also, Mezarros hurt too? That was some suspect D pre-injury, it could be a bit frightening now.
haha i was in an all flyers group a few years ago, crosby went 7th
Also, Mezarros hurt too?
