Joseph Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 My computor locked up during the first 3 rounds of drafting.... ESPN's ridiculas pre-draft player rankings kicked in and automatically selected my first 3 picks!! wtf?!I re-booted in time for the 4th round and tried to save face, but it may be too little too late take a look:(15 teams - I drafted number 13, 21 rounds)1. Jose Theodore (ru kidding? ranked no. 7 on ESPN??????)2. Olli Jokinen (eh...)3. Chris Osgood (...again, eh...)____ this is where I actually got to pick for myself_____4. Martin St. Louis5. Brian Campbell6-21: (not in order)Paul StastnyAnze KopitarRyan SmythTeemu SelanneSergei KostitsynJordan StaalTim ConnollyScott NiedermayerMattias OhlundTom PotiMartin EratAndrew BrunetteSam GagnerJustin WilliamsAndrej SekeraPeter Budajmy plan after the disaster was to try and draft young guns who could have breakout seasons (stanstny, Kostitsyn, staal and kopitar), and a couple older vets who could also have a nice 'comeback' season (selane, smyth and Niedermayer) and grab a 3rd staring golaie (budaj) I can hope to trade someone desperate.. and, of course, take a gamble on conolly staying healthy.its a deep leauge, so hopefully thiere wont be any powerhouse teams...Ill NEVER do online drafting again! be warned!

randyc Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 That's why you pre-rank your players, to avoid situations like the one you found yourself in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 im in a league in each yahoo and espn, i definetly prefer yahoo, but espn is new to me and fortunately my computer didnt lock up during the espn draft. yeah i never go by espns fantasy rankings, im a diehard Caps fan but its appalling that they ranked Theodore so high, i guess its kind of a compliment to the Caps? i have no idea what they were thinking but you have my condolences but if he works out it would be quite a steal lol "I don't understand where you got this idea so deeply ingrained in your head (that this world) is something that you must impress, cause I couldn't care less"http://keepdcunited.org Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
