Analysis: This is another deep team, capable of scoring fantasy picks with as many as 12 or 13 of these picks. But like Nordique Combined, Paragons cannot succeed without a good showing by USA Hockey. USA Hockey, while arguably not quite as strong as Canada, is a virtual lock for silver or gold on the women's side and a strong contender for men's as well - one of the few potential 100 point teams in any sport.
Manager Dave Spence recovered from a dubious first round choice with some good later picks. Both of Canada's speed skating teams were good picks at those slots - I had them ranked third in the world. Finland freestyle skiing is a great value pick, the top pick of round 15, adn Russia Bobsleigh is a good round 13 pick too.
