I am entering into my work hockey pool. We have to pick 1 out of 5 players from 21 groups. 15 forward groups 3 Defense groups 3 goalie groups Scoring for skaters is based on the following: 2 pts per goal, 1 pt per assist, GWG=1 pt, hat trick=6 pts for goals+4 for a total of 10 pts, 5 pts for a fight goalie points are based on win=1, SO=2+1 point for the win for a total of 3, 10 pts for a goalie fight and 1 pt for assists and 2 pts for goals lol I am having trouble narrowing down a couple of groups and would like some suggestions. It seems clear to me that you basically want all goal scorers for skaters and winners for goalies unless assists can make up the difference in goals. The groups im having trouble with are: Jason Pominville Tyler Seguin (leaning here) Zach Parise Alex Ovechkin Marian Gaborik (bear in mind I am taking Rick Nash and I may also take Brad Richards see below) Jarome Iginla (leaning here) Marian Hossa Brad Richards Corey Perry (leaning here) Erik Karlsson Kris Letang (leaning here) Goalie groups (with a shortened season the teams with solid backups will make a big difference) Lundqvist Quick Fleury (leaning towards) Rinne Miller Schneider Howard (leaning towards) Brodeur Kipper Smith Ward (Pretty obvious i think) Price Anderson Dubnyk Pavelec

Some groups that I thought were amusing as it was quite clear who to pick:
Giroux Malkin H. Sedin Kovalchuk Stamkos (picked)
D. Sedin Tavares St. Louis Backstrom Crosby (picked)
Wheeler Vrbata Nash (picked) Getzlaf Fleischmann
Tanguay Desharnais Erat Lucic (picked) Vanek
Boyle Wideman Phaneuf (picked) Timonen Subban
Benn Spezza Eberle Kane Kessel (picked)

I'd go... Seguin
Gaborik mainly because I think he'll get more assists than Ovi based on linemates
Iginla should score more goals because Calgary relies more heavily on him for offensive production than Chicago does on Hossa and because Hossa is coming back from a concussion
Perry
Karlsson
Lundqvist/ Quick The few more wins Fleury gets probably won't make up for the difference in shutouts between him and Lunqvist/ Quick
Howard
Ward

I agree with all your assesments excpet maybe the fleury one. Havent looked who is backing fleiry up this year. I know bernier and is biron still backing up king henry cuz in a shortened season they will eat up starts.

I'm pretty sure Vokoun is the backup for the Pens and I think he compares pretty well to Biron.
