How do you draft to win an NHL hockey pool?
What positions do you draft first to make the best team?
etc.
Normally people pay me big money for these top hints, but you sound desperate so here are 3 surefire ways of not losing at your hockey pool draft:
1). Don’t draft retired or dead guys.
2) Don’t draft females
3) When its your time to draft just say "The Detroit Red Wings" the whole team not just a player.
You need to pick marquee offensive defensemen early in the draft, say 4th round. There are always goalies to pick up and so long as you have locked up top forwards, if you can have the best defenisve squad because no one else thinks of it then you have a shot at winning your pool as I did last year with Gonchar, Campbell, Kaberle, Chara.

Pick a goalie with a strong defense in front of them, Say turco, thomas, maybe price. Dont take older players, injuries/declining numbers will bring you down, dont pick inconsistant or injury proned players, and pick up a guy like fillpula, who is going to have franzen and hossa on his line, he should put up good numbers, dont just look at the players, look at who he is playing with

You get good forwards first, then goalies, then you draft D-Men, they are useless in a pool unless they are superstars like Lidstrom.
TIPS
Forwards- Choose non-injury plagued skaters. They must be consistent or the will slow it down. If they jave a great line then they get more points. They can assist more.
Goalies- Choose a goalie who barley lets any goals in. Never choose a good goalie on a bad team, it must be a good goalie on a good team.
D-Man- Only draft the best.

Always start with offensive players and make sure you choose guys that wont get hurt in upcoming games. Pick smart, not always choosing the top guy but shopping around. Keep cool under pressure and if one guy you were looking for gets picked don’t think about it to long, let it go and proceed to choose the next best.

Emphasis on goalies. Good goalies can help win you a maximum of 50% of your needed points (Ws, S%, GAA, SOs…there’s another one that i can’t remember). When you draft, draft the best goalies in the first three rounds, tops. Good players are a dime a dozen, good goalies a two dollars a dozen.

just take a red wing as your pick =you can’t go wrong

Don’t pick a goalie in the first round. Pick offensive defenseman early since there aren’t a lot of them. Let the forwards take care of themselves, there will always be good forwards. I came first in my pool last year doing this.
