My draft is this Saturday evening. Who should I NOT draft?

I see that Justin Williams is out for another 4-6 months? Any other good players with injuries that I should not touch--I'm a little out of the loop.

And is Sundin playing this year?

Ryan Whitney is out for 3-5 months.

Sundin isn't signed yet. I wouldn't draft him.

Players I wouldnt draft-

Havlet- The guy is always injured. Hes a good risk pick but he has not shown he can stay healthy and will most likely end up missing alot of time again this year.

Gaborik- Always tons of hype around him but he never seems to live up to it. Now with Demitra and Rolston gone, I dont see him all the sudden busting out into the fantasy player some pin him up to be every year. His first line center could be Mikko Koivu.....no thanks.

Dan Carcillo- Yotes are getting him to play more under control (less PIM's) and with the added youth on the team moving up the depth chart Carcillo's role will be less. Id wait longer in the draft and try to pick up a guy like Jared Boll or Milan Lucic instead.


Players I would look to grab later in drafts as they are getting slept on so far.

-Patrick Marleau
-Patrice Bergeron
-Erik Johnson
-Joni Pitkanen
-Shea Weber
-Simon Gagne
-Kevin Bieska
-Matthieu Garon

Radulov....for now.

Eric Johnson is gone for the year
