Just picked my players for my playoff pool this year. Let me know what you think. There were 12 guys in the pool, and we had to pick 12 players each, with points being the only thing considered, and there being no position requirements, even goalies. I had last pick in the draft (12th), but it went snake draft style.

1. Bergeron BOS

2. Kesler VAN

3. Oshie STL

4. Chara BOS

5. Peverley BOS

6. McDonald STL

7. Zajac NJD

8. Booth VAN

9. Sykora NJD

10. Stewart STL

11. Yandle PHX

12. Carle PHI

The plan was to load up on 2 teams in each conference, and then take a couple shots at players on higher producing players on teams that I think have a shot to win a round or two. Originally I wanted Boston and New Jersey in the East and Vancouver and Detroit in the West, but I had to abandon Detroit due to a lot of their best players being picked by 12 (Datsyuk went 11th...). I don't mind going with St. Louis though, even if they don't bring a lot of offense to the table. There's a lot of players to choose from there.

Overall, it's concerning that I don't have any legit offensive stars, but the way I usually approach these drafts is to hope my select few teams will go far. It helps that my 4 teams I really like are 4 of the seepest teams in the league. I was one of the only ones to focus on only 4 teams, and I was also one of the only ones to split 6 and 6 in each Conference.

I also really like the sleeper potential of Booth, Stewart and Zajac.
