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!
