This draft is looking very shallow in terms of talent to me but I still have to wonder about not taking Anaheim’s 2nd rounder this year considering their poor play so far.

I think Zona et al. did an analysis on the value of different draft picks and it looks like there won’t be a huge difference between say a 31st or a 40th overall:

I think we all knew that Tampa wasn’t as good as their finish last year, but Jesus, that’s bad. Guess the bottom finally fell out for ol’ Roli.

And I gambled by keeping Roli in my keeper league this season. That decision hasn’t panned out for me at all.

I bet on Devan Dubnyk and Brent Johnson over Jose Theodore as my backups. Whoops.

Isn’t it obvious to all of you what’s happened here? Khabibulin has clearly used nefarious means to steal Roloson’s considerable mojo in the off season.

Quick, someone get a hold of Elizabeth Hurley in a kinky leather outfit.

(I’m imagining Liz Hurley from like 10-15 years ago, when she was hot. I’m scared that time’s caught up to her now.)

Lots of makeup involved, but she’s aged nicely:

Not quite Diana Rigg territory yet.

It’s odd not seeing the Oilers on that list, congrats guys (in all seriousness, not an insult). What worries me is how Anaheim is underachieving. They already have Perry, Ryan and Getzlaf, do they need Yakupov too?
