Us Hockey Bloggers (thanks PJ!) have started up a Fantasy Hockey League (20 teams, rotisserie, more categories than I care to count).and the auto-draft happened over the weekend.  Phil Pilmar, host of last week's NHL Blog Carnie, has already posted up his roster (and offered me Marty Brodeur in trade).  I figured I'd do the same and we can see where this goes.

I've already done a little tweaking via Free Agency, picking up both Madden and Markennen.  My approach to these things is to go heavy on Defense and Goaltending and let the scorers take care of themselves.  We'll see if that strategy works out for me.

Centers:

1. Pavel Datsyuk
2. Daymond Langkow
3. John Madden
4. Pierre Turgeon

Left WIngs:

1. Ray Whitney
2. Jochen Hecht

Right Wings:

1. Jarome Iginla
2. Alexei Kovalev

Defense:

1. Nicklas Lidstrom
2. Zdeno Chara
3. Marek Zidlicky
4. Eric Brewer
5. Kyle McLaren

Goalies:

1. Marc Denis
2. Rick DiPietro
3. Jussi Marrkennen

I'm extremely happy with my defense and RW, my top 3 D-men are better than I would have hoped for.  Center will be a position of depth if Ken Holland can get Datsyuk signed in Detroit, and can be used to shore up Goaltending.  LW is solid, if unspectalular.  I picked up Madden for SHP, SoG and Faceoffs.  I dropped Fedotenko and Mr. October.

Ta,
