You should definitely select him again, he'll probably get PP time with the Stars. Worth a 1st i'd say.

We're missing a few at this stage, I'll name names shortly.

Tavares at 6 years 33 million? The guy is a #1 sure, but there's no way he's worth that much. RFAs asking for UFA money in my opinion. Hall made a bigger impact in his first year by far given the limited number of games played. I'm sure they used Stamkos as a guide, but Stamkos won a Rocket Richard. Tavares is still trying to have the huge impact he was expected to have. Either Tavares is overpriced or Okposo is a bargain (when healthy).

Go figure.

Go figure.

Okposo is most definitely a bargain.

5.5M for a ~30 goal, ~70pts centre with the resume in junior that Tavares has? Solid money sure but in no way overpaid. 5.5 for a #1C with the potential that he has is cheap. Plus that starts from next year, he is on his ELC this year. There is absolutely no way anyone in their right mind should take Hall over Tavares.

His potential aside, Islanders will struggle to make the cap floor next year when Rolston retires. This helps. 5.5 is the new 4.5 with the cap increases over the last few years. (How good does Kesler at 5mil look now?! - actually a good comparison contract, he signed that after a 26G, 59P effort)

Tyler Myers now has the same deal, for a year longer. Front loaded like a ****. Similar potential to Tavares IMHO but a little less proven.

I stopped giving a shit halfway through the season too. Didn't have time, so won't be playing again this season.

Definitely not a 'sour grapes' thing so please don't take it like that.

I didn't think I'd have time but it turns out that the fantasy thing works on work computers, so yeah I -DO- have time now actually.

I was thinking it wouldn't.

I bent over, spread my cheeks, and bought it from NHL.com

Maybe try: http://hfboards.com/showthread.php?t=444708

There's a few other threads on HF about it, can't find 'em immediately though.

I can see what the markets here in Sydney have Bede if you like...

Sure it might be old stock, or fake, or both, but my Crosby Jersey has survived nearly 2 years of wear and is not even pilling, and the Malkin one is doing even better.

dhgate.com is a 'wholesaler' marketplace type thing.

I've ordered a few jerseys via it but there are alot of sellers so could be hit or miss.

Quality is umm... well nobody is going to be fooled up close but its not like letters or logos are offset/out of position. I only use em as practice jerseys anyway.

anyway... draft day, draft day!

Oh if anyone wants an invite to an NHL torrent site (all american sports actually), I have a spare one lurking. Better quality than gamecentre although you do have to wait 12 hours.
