He's just so young too and plus the ELC. It's hard to pass that up. It's not like Ovechkin is way off the board though.

I gotta go with Evgeni Malkin. He's been injury prone the last few years but when healthy he's about as dominant a player as there is. He's also shown on numerous occasions that when Crosby goes down he doesn't get any less dominant - hell he actually gets even moreso, so I have no worry about him being the guy running a team. e: Metapod and Technetium up next Ginette Reno fucked around with this message at 18:44 on Jul 7, 2016 |

Technetium posted:Thanks for not making me pick Malkin who coincidentally fell out of the Top Ten this year (as he should've last year too because of injuries/age) Malkin's long history of not playing full seasons concerns me a lot but he's just so good I couldn't pass him up. It's not like he has a history of concussions or anything so I see no reason why he can't turn around his bad injury luck. e: As for the age well, should still have 4 or 5 more seasons of being elite, maybe longer if I'm lucky

Letang is better than the vast majority of the defensemen taken ahead of him so far so yeah that's a great pick. I think Karlsson is the only d taken ahead of him that is indisputably better. There are others that are pretty much on his level (Subban, Hedman) Definitely a great pick.

Well I'm pretty sure it's been two hours so I'm going to go ahead and pick Evgeny Kuznetsov because he's young and super good. He had a bad playoffs but I have no doubt he's a consistent 70 point player moving forward and him and Malkin could make all the weird faces to each other.

Menamino posted:I was really shocked Backstrom fell that far, it got to the point where I legitimately thought he was gonna make it back to me and that freaked me out I thought about taking him but I liked Kuznetsov more since he's younger. Backstrom is damned good though. He's one of the best powerplay qbs in the league.

I'll take Gabriel Landeskog. He's young and talented and would probably be pretty good away from that garbage fire team he's on.

Pittsburgh takes Matt Murray because he's a good young goalie who has won a cup already and has a strong AHL pedigree and so I'm pretty sure he's going to be at worst a solid starting goalie and he has the potential to be an elite one. Kuznetsov-Malkin Landeskog Murray

Brodeurs Nanny posted:Jesus Matt murray? Out of all the goalies available, even the young ones? There's other comparable ones but Murray has a Cup which doesn't really mean anything but I could have flipped a coin between him and the other two young goalies I'm thinking of so I might as well take the one I like and know

Brodeurs Nanny posted:Murray is gonna be a very good goalie but I wouldn't pick him over someone else. And young goalies this early seems weird to me. All the truly elite goalies are gone except for one and Murray is likely to be comparable to the other older ones left. Anyways Saad. Good pick that.

tofes posted:This was a real hard pick for me. I have a list of about 10 centers and even though there's a winger I really want I don't know if any of the centers will make it back to me and I can't live with myself if I don't have a good second line center. Not sure how a top 10 pick like him dropped this far

I'll take Adam Henrique. I believe he can play some wing, and he's pretty skilled and smart and would probably gel well with Malkin or Kuznetsov. Seems like he thinks the game pretty well. Having him and Kuznetsov gives me some nice flexibility in that both can play C/W so I can always move them around Landeskog-Malkin Kuznetsov-Henrique (Kuznetsov at Center, Henrique W) Matt Murray Metro supremacy Ginette Reno fucked around with this message at 02:29 on Jul 14, 2016 |

eXXon posted:How good would Matt Murray look behind literally no defense? Let's find out! e: Honestly people went nuts on d so me not taking one now is almost a matter of spite. I'm gonna gently caress over all the assholes who went heavy on defense by continuing to scoop up good forwards  There's also nobody I particular want on d right now, at least not over the forwards left. BPA imo. Brodeurs Nanny posted:I would say to not play him with Kuz or Malkin, they'll skate circles around him. He's not skilled enough. He's a second-line winger for whoever your 2C winds up being. Kutznesov is probably my 2C. And Henrique would be fine with either, I'm sure. Malkin played with Bryan loving Rust and Chris Kunitz in the playoffs. Henrique is far better currently than both.

eXXon posted:I take Patric Hornqvist a few spots higher than last year despite his being a year older because I need an almost-30 quality possession scoring winger veteran and also there is a serious shortage of good right wingers in the NHL. I'm a little nervous about his body breaking down at some point because of his style of play. He's solid though and he could play anywhere in a lineup and do well.

Your team is going to have a bright future obviously but yeesh your core is like Leafs level bad for your first year unless Laine is going to be instantly Ovechkin.

Brodeurs Nanny posted:I can definitely think of another 60+ point center still available who is quite good but Kadri to me drives possession extremely well and is locked into a great contract. The guy I'm thinking of actually has lovely fancies it turns out but might be partially his team. And yeah there are some good young centers left. My next pick gon be a tough decision even though I desperately need defensemen

Alright, give me Sean Couturier so that Malkin doesn't have to worry about getting shut down by him, and also because he's a fantastic shutdown center with untapped offensive potential. Fancies are great. Landeskog-Malkin Henrique-Kuznetsov Cooter Murray What's a defenseman?

Infidel Castro posted:I wasn't too optimistic that Cooter would fall to me but I really didn't think you'd pass on a D-man again. Just felt Cooter was more valuable than any of the d I might have taken. He's a fantastic two-way center already and I think he's got potential to be even better offensively. Could see him being a 50-60 point guy in his prime with the d, so basically a mini Bergeron. tofes posted:edit: actually it looks like there's still one more guy I had pegged to be gone by now Yeah there's one more I'm thinking of who I almost took and is pretty good.

Jordan7hm posted:His fancy stats darlingness has really only been this season, and it wouldn't be shocking if it turned out that was a mirage. He wasn't bad the two previous years, he just took a big step up this year. Can't put a price on that truculence though. My soft forwards need an rear end in a top hat on the backend to keep the other team honest.

Flyinglemur posted:The Ducks select Defensivemans Brian Dumoulin because he is cheap and is playing with other, good players that should help his development and also I like him. Dumo owns. Good shot suppressor. He reminds me a bit of a younger [guy who hasn't been taken yet]. They both have limp dick shots but excellent poise and positioning and they never take penalties.
