It looks like I ended up coming pretty close to the actual team. I didn't have Lasch that high, but I figured he'd be up there since everyone else did. I guess I'm not sure why though. As I had said, Lasch is a fine scorer to be sure, but he contributes little else(besides diving a lot and drawing penalties, but SCSU didn't do much with those anyway). Of the six guys I put ahead of him, four had a better point per game average, and the other two were within two points of him, and both were valuable members of their team's penalty kill.

I didn't have Jake Gardiner in my all-rookie team, the 60 Minutes blog made a nice argument for him, and after watching him a little closer, I've got no problem with him being on the team. He's come a long way over the past year and definitely deserves it.

I'm not surprised Colborne made the rookie team too. Like I said, there were a lot of guys with similar stats fighting for that third forward spot. Somebody asked me who I thought would get it last week and I said it would probably end up being Colborne just because of the name recognition factor.
