Joining a fantasy hockey league with some friends and I know nothing about hockey. Looking for some tips on how to draft well or ideally a default draft list if there's one available anywhere

Doing a hockey auction draft tonight. Anyone have any tips on this? Never done an auction for puck before.

I wish I did. Just did one myself and think I have a good team aside from goalies but I don't know how points work or anything so my team could be terrible. Definitely up for talking about it throughout the season if we can get a thread going.

Fantasy hockey auction is weird. Much deeper talent pool than football. Don't overspend early.

I took over a team in a dynasty league. Seems like my best bet this season is to stockpile future talent and draft picks while I learn. If I get off to a crappy start gonna go fire sale early while people are willing to pay a lot for some of my better players (Kane, Voracek, Shattenkirk, etc.)

Good point. Overall though is my line of thinking reasonable?

Only to a certain extent imho. Next year will be a great year to draft 1-2 fantasy wise. Like if you would have gotten this years rookies it wouldn't really help you that much probably.

Just don't do a total sellout, it's usually hard to recover and if you have elite talent, hang on to it. Usually you won't get elite talent back without giving up a ton.
