Ice Lugers Roster

Manager: Adam Claus

Round 1 Pick 6 - Canada Curling
Round 2 Pick 4 - Germany Biathlon
Round 3 Pick 6 - Finland Nordic Combined
Round 4 Pick 4 - USA Skeleton
Round 5 Pick 6 - Sweden Alpine Skiing
Round 6 Pick 4 - France Snowboarding
Round 7 Pick 6 - Czech Republic Ice Hockey
Round 8 Pick 4 - Canada Freestyle Skiing
Round 9 Pick 6 - Russia Luge
Round 10 Pick 4 - Norway Ski Jumping
Round 11 Pick 6 - France Figure Skating
Round 12 Pick 4 - Russia Speed Skating
Round 13 Pick 6 - Bulgaria Short Track Speed Skating
Round 14 Pick 4 - Great Britain Bobsleigh
Round 15 Pick 6 - Germany Cross Country Skiing

Analysis: Manager Adam Claus took the first minor sport team off the board with Canada's curling squad, a solid pick which will probably net him 50 points. The German biathlon team, the top squad in that sport, is a steal even as a Round 2 pick. Finland is another solid pick for Nordic combined.

This team also had some great value picks mid-draft. France Snowboarding in round 6 and Canada Freestyle Skiing in round 8 are complete steals, both squads that could lead their sport in medals. I also like Norway Ski Jumping as a value pick in Round 10.

However, Ice Lugers' strategy of taking minor sport teams early could backfire as this team drafted its short track, speed skating, cross country skiing and figure skatingteams during the last five rounds. That's a lot of points off the board. They could claim a title but a huge 50 point Czech ice hockey gold might be necessary.
