Fantasy Watch: A Look to the 2009-10 Season!
Mar 30th, 2009 • Uncategorized
A look back on the NHL Hockey Season of the 2008-2009 variety gives us some predictions for next year’s fantasy draft. First, Alex Ovechkin is the best player in hockey. Second, Roberto Luongo is the next best choice, and Third Anaheim’s Ryan Getzlaf is Top-10 Worthy.
Despite missing considerable action at the beginning of the season while Alex was tending to his ailing grandfather. We will remember Alex Ovechkin for his performance in the All-Star Skills Competition as having a great time and winning while also putting up 482 shots on goal this season which is quite a lot of shots with 53 Goals, while Assisting 47 times, with 68 penalty minutes, and 43 power play points.
Ryan Getzlaf of the Ducks was also featured in the Skills Competition this past season and has 25 goals, with 56 assists, 103 penalty minutes, 34 penalty minutes, and 218 shots on goal. These numbers make Ryan Getzlaf the perfect fantasy compliment to Alex Ovechkin should he fall into the Second-Round.
Lastly, Roberto Luongo should not be slept on as the second-selection in fantasy drafts. Since Early-February Luongo’s record is 18-4-1. The five games Luongo did not win coming off his injury in January meant three over-time losses for Luongo who had to shake some rust off his equipment. Luongo’s Seven Shutouts are Three behind the League Leader.
