Looking for a list of hockey players? Check out the draft in Yahoo's Friends and Family league:

And here's Q&A with Janet Eagleson, who got the number one pick.
Notes:
round 2: surprised Lundqvist went before turco and giggy, but that probably has a lot to do with injury fears and Lundqvist's number of SOs.
I believe that players should draft D early. Some experts did and others did not.
round 5: Nathan Horton and Pominville (round 4) finally getting the respect they deserve.
round 6: Bryan McCabe -- overrated? Underappreciated? Time will tell.
round 7: Huet will be a steal if the Hawks can convince Khabi to play in Russia this year. I picked him and I'm hoping that happens. Biron, I believe, is overrated. Stastny still doesn't get respect. A lot of goalies in this round. Goalies go in bunches, but not necessarily in any particular round.
round 8: IMO, Wade Redden's overrated. I expect Kronwall and Liles, for example, to do better.
round 12: I pick Ryan Clowe as sleeper -- if he can make the top line in SJ and also have a lot of PIMs.
Sami Salo underappreciated.
Jordan Staal's value rises as he gets time on the PK or PP. I hope he gets it.
round 13: I dropped Duncan Keith (I expect him to be the stay at home guy, and Campbell the power play quarterback) and kept Kuba, who has 2 assists in each of his first two appearances. I expect him to do very well. Pick him up if he is available.
round 14: Ray Whitney, if healthy, is the steal of this round.
round 15: I'm betting on Lupul, but that was a nasty injury last year. I'm also keeping an eye on Bernier -- everyone wants to know who will fit on the top line with the Sedin twins. So far, defencemen seem to be getting the extra points on Sedin goals.
round 16: Vermette delivers an interesting combination of PIMs and SHP.
