Pete, Nick, Anna and guest Chris Meaney take part in a fantasy hockey mock draft for a 12-team league with 18 players per team (216 total) and discuss all the things they learned like what round to start drafting goalies, defenseman strategy after a high-scoring season at the position and how early to tap into this year's star-studded rookie class. The crew discusses reaches throughout the mock draft, potential bargains and busts, their favorite stacks involving teams like the Oilers, Devils, Sabres and Coyotes and which Bruins players are worth fading or picking later than usual after all their roster turnover this offseason. Other topics include debating veteran superstars Alex Ovechkin vs. Sidney Crosby in fantasy, where to draft playoff standouts like Evan Bouchard, Roope Hintz and Jonathan Marchessault, young defensemen with breakout potential (Luke Hughes, Owen Power, Bowen Byram, Jake Sanderson), goalie tandem strategies and more.
