Last night Kevin and I swapped picks for a mock All-Star Fantasy Draft.
I took team Daniel Alfredsson, while Kevin took team Jerome Iginla, who we decided can be the second captain for this activity.
Kevin said his draft strategy was: "to overvalue goaltending right away, pick up some goal scorers and then try and make Ovechkin Mr. Irrelevant."
My draft strategy was to get Henrik Lundqvist, not jeopardize the team by drafting all-Rangers early, and get a balanced team.
The rules for the draft, courtesy of the NHL, are:
Each team’s three goalies must be picked by the end of Round 10 and each team’s six defensemen must be picked by the conclusion of Round 15.
Follow me after the jump for the draft and the teams!

I think it realy doesn't matter
the skill is basically equal on both sides; especially since Crosby isn’t playing

This whole all-star mock drafts things are kind of dumb
Are you drafting based on this and past seasons or just this season alone? You get two very different results pending the way you go about it.
Is hockey hard? "I don't know, you tell me. We need to have the strength and power of a football player, the stamina of a marathon runner, and the concentration of a brain surgeon. But we need to put all this together while moving at high speeds on a cold and slippery surface while 5 other guys use clubs to try and kill us, oh yeah did I mention that this whole time we're standing on blades 1/8 of an inch thick? Is ice hockey hard? I don't know, you tell me. Next question."

I mean I know Ovi isn’t doing great guys, but come on…….
Jamie Benn? Really? Really?
LMAO
"Mr. Madison, what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul."
LET'S GO RANGERS!!!

Eriksson should have gone instead of Benn IMO.
