No thread necromancy, but I have occasionally made reference to these players, because there are lessons to be learned.
Irving: goalies are crapshoots. Pick 'em later.
Pelech: defensemen who don't score generally aren't good players.
Nemisz: be wary of guys whose teammates might be making him look good.
Naturally, all those arguments are more convincing when presented with larger sample sizes, rather than anecdotally. In fact, the first and third may be totally wrong, whereas I think the evidence for the second is pretty strong.
