Yes there is quite the interesting list in this dynasty league and some fantasy experts with some fairly legendary pedigrees. Everyone knows Darryl Houston Smith (Black Moses). There is a reason why we call him Black Moses because the guy will lead you to the promised land if you follow his advice. Everyone knows Tim, Brad, and Kevin from Inside Hockey and well Anthony is just about everywhere. The rest of the guys I have run into in various fantasy leagues at one point or another.

Ok as of this moment, we are almost through three full rounds of the draft that began yesterday. Now this is not enough but yours truly will also be in Ian Gooding’s fantasy hockey mock draft that starts Wed. Night at 9pm ET. This is yet another event that you have to see. We will have more details on that as the next couple days roll on.
The scary part is there will be more mock drafts this year than usual. The fun part for you, the reader, is we will give you details on each one we are in, including invitations to our podcast leagues. Hang in there and just 90 minutes until the show tonight at 8pm ET.
