Buddha, you will have competition for dead last because I lost big last year in my nhl.com league. That was auto draft. I have never done a live draft (if I forget or can't make, does it draft for me?) This is only the 2nd fantasy hockey league I have joined. I am in.

For what? The drafter who goes from first to worst the fastest? :P All about Gaby: It really IS all about him on this club, isn't it? Everyone else on this team is peanuts...Koivu, Schultz, IJ, SRV, PMB, Backstrom, etc., they all play second fiddle to No. 10. JMO: DR doesn't blow this. If anyone screws these negotiations up, it will be Ron Salcer, Gaborik's agent. Why? Salcer, like Gaborik, wants as much as he can get. Up front. Now. Before the current CBA runs out, and new rules limiting salaries are set in place. Granted, both sides are fairly happy with what is in place now, but as the US economy continues to falter and lesser franchises continue to be economically squeezed, look out, folks...Fewer franchises = fewer opportunities = less of a financial pie to go around...
