Gotta go with Nos here, I love the talent on his team

 

[MilkSpiller22]

Don't really watch hockey. So don't know the intangibles of my players. But I thought I had the closest thing to a perfect draft than I ever had in any mock. Better than any baseball team I drafted. So I clearly have me winning.

 

[mr.hockey4242]

Nos.

He's dominates this game at center and I really don't understand why Milk has Kuri on his 4th line and Gaborik on line 2.

Malkin, Hall and iginla will eat that line up.

That was something nos had on. Never thought I needed to change it.

 

[Mebert]

I like Milks team a lot, and Crosby and Charra are basically like WC picks, and his first 2 lines on defense are fantastic. Aside from that I think he has some of the weaker WC's in the draft and it holds him back.

I have nos by a small margin

 

[mr.hockey4242]

That was something nos had on. Never thought I needed to change it.

Damn yeah, I'd have had Kuri up there for scoring.

But i think while you built a great squad especially defensively, it's gonna be up the middle at center that Nos is gonna hurt you. Crosby is gonna have to be all world. And he's got Trottier who was a great player up there.

 

[Nosferatu]

Nos.

He's dominates this game at center and I really don't understand why Milk has Kuri on his 4th line and Gaborik on line 2.

Malkin, Hall and iginla will eat that line up.

Normally I would agree but I really don't think it matters much, Getzlaf and Elias aren't just leaps and bounds better than Carter and Eriksson

 

[UK Cowboy]

I Agree with Milk that this is his best Hockey squad, but I think Nos has one of the 2-3 best teams and edges him out

 

[Ritzarmy]

Hate voting on the Nos vs Milk matchups. Both are jerks and both blocked my pictures I keep sending them. Now onto this matchup. I like Milk's offense better but I feel his goalies are his down fall in this matchup. Ryan Miller is a good goalie in todays game but he isn't a top 5 goalie in todays game (my opinion) How can he stop a star studded offense in these matchups is what brings my decision to vote for Nos. Great team Milkman but leaning towards Nos in this one.

 

[Nosferatu]

I think Milk has one of the best teams but i'm gonna average 7 tallies against Miller during the series...

Me

 

[femurov]

I have Nos. Why would you play Kurri on the 4th line, Milk? I would figure you'd want him to get as many minutes as possible.

 

[Pack 500]

Nos

My lesson after the first hockey draft was that Centers are the deepest position, so focus on Wingers and defense...

Lesson after Draft 2. voters like to see elite talent on the first 2 lines, and Centers are generally the best players on the ice...

Next draft, i will combine those 2 lessons...


I thought i was golden this draft because i had the best wingers and i thought i had the best defense as well... But with the weakest centers(despite them all being top 15 current centers), i needed at least one top 20 talent....


@Nosferatu , it was definitely my fault for not catching my RW depth chart... But i do wonder why you had it the way you put it... I drafted Hossa before Gaborik, and Kurri is clearly better than those 2... so i do wonder how you had it the way you did...

Depth is the way to go. But center depth is huge.

I high point wingers(not just goal scorers) are huge.

 

[Nosferatu]

Honeslty I try spreading the scorers a little bit, I did axe if anyone had lineup changes so im sorry if you didnt see that.

I saw you say it... but i did not notice the order of wingers i had... So again, 100% my fault... Just thought your order was odd... especially when Kurri was my 3rd or 4th best offensive player(with 3 of the better on line one)... he should have been the headliner...
