Let's hear some guesses and some thoughts.

[Robin Hood]

Lol i KNow which team you are immediately.

[Robin Hood]

And I would have to go with Team 8 easy.

[Nick]

Which team do you think will win? same team that is me?

[Nick]

btw i came 3rd last year (8/5/4/3 final position for me, all other years had 13 teams) rocked out 2nd all year only for one of the bottom teams to explode, #1 was #1 from the second month through to the end.

[Nick]

And I would have to go with Team 8 easy.

for the best team or for me? or both?

Team 8 = Best Team
Team 5 = You

[Robin Hood]

Actually I'm debating if Team 8 is you.

[Nick]

I thought 1/5/8/9/11 could all kinda look like a team I'd pick. Interesting to hear what others think. Appreciate you getting the ball rolling Shiv.

[Scott]

Team 3 is pretty sick too. Team 3, 5 or 8 are the best imo.. too close to call.

I'd have picked Team 3 if it were not for Crosby's health.

Ya, I factored it in but I feel Sid will be back after 10 or so games..

[Mike]

In my Yahoo pool (h2h, similar stats to ours) I picked up Ovechkin #1 and Crosby #41.

I doubt it but I sincerely hope so man.

[Nick]

I couldn't believe he went in the 3rd round (34th pick...) i was pick 10 and 13 - dunno if that helps decide which I am, but I wasn't ready to bank my 13th overall on him only playing 50 games.

[Nick]

Kareem? Berg? Shook?

[MSP4LYFE]

If you are not team 8, I know nothing about you...I also think team 8 is the best, followed by teams 1 and 2.
