The pool season
Amidst all of that other hockey jazz I noted early this morning, there's also a lot of hockey drafting going on lately. I'm in all kinds of on-line pools that are 'bragging-rights only', but just one that required me to pony up some dough.
It's an auction draft with a $100 entry fee and a $10 player minimum bid, meaning you can, at most, only draft 10 players. While some teams attempt to load up on five or six big guns, I opted to try an inbetween strategy of middling players I thought were good buys.
The winner of this Grundman League, as it's called, generally finishes in the 500-point range, so what you're looking for is five points for every dollar spent. Here's what I ended up with:
- Patrice Bergeron, $14
- Mike Modano, $14
- Miroslav Satan, $13
- Jason Arnott, $12
- Jeff Carter, $12
- Mike Cammalleri, $12
- Petr Sykora, $12
- Nathan Horton, $11

Patrice is going to be a force this year. With the whoele "C" thing going on with Mike, not sure you wanted him for that price.
Yeah, unfortunately that happened the day after I'd picked him. Modano was going to go in the 65-point range, which seemed low, so I bid a bit higher. Anything above 70 points in an absolute bonus.
is someone who works for NHL allowed to "officially" gamble? Usually people who work for a league try to distance themselves as much as possible on any type of wagering of the sport they work in.
or do pools not count?
