NHL fans everywhere like to get in on some betting action, but fantasy sports has grown quickly and is hot on the heels of wagering when it comes to getting the attention of the people. Draft day is always a fun time if you’re in a fantasy pool, and here is what you should look for.
It’s a no brainer that you should look to take a center or a right wing with your first couple of picks; they score the most points and there are a lot of good players at each position (this is like telling a Superbowl betting player to look for quarterbacks and running backs in their fantasy drafts). Left wing doesn’t have the talent pool that the other forward positions have. Try and find a solid left wing early in the draft if you can because there aren’t many and you’ll have a chance to find another center or right wing later on.
When it comes to defensemen, it all depends on how your league is scored. Do points count for more? How about hits or plus/minus? Even penalty minutes should be a factor if those count (this goes for forwards as well), and there are a lot of good defensemen out there. Lean towards the offensive blueliners, but check your scoring first.
Finally, goaltending is always important, and you should try and take one within your first few picks. Of course, you should look for a goalie that plays a lot, which is getting more difficult as teams are trying to run with a two-goalie system to boost their odds at online betting sites.
