ESPN revealed their much awaited Fantasy League rankings recently and surprise surprise, they’re pretty much based in “fantasy land”. Wait, did I say much awaited? My apologies, i meant “much overrated”
Martin Brodeur gets #1 spot OVERALL, just ahead of Alex Ovechkin at #2 and Sidney Crosby at #3. In the top 15 players, ESPN in fact list 7 goalies. Do ESPN know something about the fantasy value of goalies that the rest of us don’t?
Interested in knowing just who makes up that list of 7?
Rank – Name
1 – Martin Brodeur
4 – Jean-Sebastian Giguere
7 – Jose Theodore
10 – Evgeni Nabokov
14 – Carey Price
15 – Ilya Bryzgalov
According to the great minds at ESPN, Chris Osgood (22 overall), Marty Turco (58 overall), Henrik Lundqvist (31 overall), even Marc-Andre Fleury (28 overall) don’t get a shoe-in when compared to the great Bryzgalov *insert chuckle here*. In fact Marty Turco is ranked 2 spots lower than Boston’s on again-off again Manny Fernandez. Vinnie Lecavalier, a player whom most would put in the top 10 in the league, is down at #24.
Hey, they do call it “fantasy” for a reason, right?
Who are the worse players in the league, according to ESPN?
Well, not including prospects or rookies (who let’s be honest, are impossible to rank anyway), Martin Gerber (Ottawa Senators) falls in at #370. Just ahead of him are two more netminders, Mike Smith (Tampa Bay Lightning) and Alex Auld (Ottawa Senators). Do ESPN predict Ottawa will bottom out this season?
I’m almost inclined to think ESPN stands for Exceedingly Stupid Prediction Noobs!
I doubt it matters all that much. In the coming weeks when the fantasy leagues open to the public, I imagine the rush of people heading to yahoo to join leagues will quickly make us forget ESPN actually have a fantasy league system!
