I want to make the Coyotes great, and I think that's the least likely team to be stepping on someone's toes.

 I was hoping for Seguin to fall but Vladimir Tarasenko isn't a bad runner-up. Goals are hard to come by in the NHL, and the top ten goal-scorers under 25 in the past two seasons are Seguin and this guy. He's also locked to a very friendly long-term contract at $7.5m until 2024.

Furnaceface posted:Doughty spent the last half of the season paired with a literal pylon who shall remain nameless and hopefully undrafted. Are we talking Scuderi? I think you're allowed to skirt the "don't mention undrafted players" rule when they're empirically terrible. Also let it be known I think it is a dumb rule. Stifling legitimate conversation/berating in the hope that someone not mentioning your "diamond in the rough" prospect lets him be forgotten is silly Good Soldier Svejk fucked around with this message at 01:11 on Jul 8, 2016 |

Panarin was in the 300s last year. Even writing him off as a by-product of Kane's stupid-good season I have to imagine he makes the biggest jump.

Letang is a great pick. The only issue I have with him is his health, but that's a knock against a lot of guys. He's a fitness freak all the same so if he stays lucky with injuries it's not impossible for him to be playing well into his 30s (and I surely hope he does) but his style is also the sort that another concussion or a blown knee could turn him into a pumpkin. He lives and dies by his skating.

Ginette Reno posted: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. You just guaranteed Don Cherry will never support your team in two easy picks.

 I'm so glad Sean Monahan made his way to me. He's a big young center who scored 60 points the last two seasons. He's an all-around player. He can score, he can set folks up. He's young and he'll only get better. Mentholmoose is up.

Got it for you, and Aye Doc is up. Also I like this pick in conjunction with Seguin. He was just too old for me to build around or I would have gone with him since he's used to playing with Russian snipers.

I've got 2/3rds of a 1st line and the #1 defensemen I covet are all starting to fall so I'd like to nip this in the bud. The Arizona Coyotes select Seth Jones He's a 21 year-old mammoth of a blue-liner already well on his way to being an elite player in the NHL. There are a few better young defensemen I considered but what pushed him over the edge for me was his fresh, long-term contract and slight edge in age. He's a cornerstone worth building a team around and it's a steal getting him in the 3rd round. Flyinglemur is up.

That's like wanting to order the steak and getting stuck with someone's old work boot. In any case, I either overrate my pick or you all underrate him. I'm taking rookie Colton Parayko. He put up 20 minutes a night and even if those were easy starts his fancy stats were among the best in the league last season. Assuming this isn't a fluke I will be vindicated this time next season. Mentholmoose is up.

My read is that a quality center is more value than a winger (with few exceptions). That and left wing in particular is just flush with prospects and skilled players available while Centers have been going like hot cakes. I think you know what position my next pick will likely be given that information but maybe I'm trying to mislead you.

I suspect this pick will be contentious. I'm taking the new "Good" Staal, Jordan Staal. Yeah, he's signed for a lot of money for infinite years, and yeah he's past the scoring prime for a forward, but he's also basically a less offensively gifted Patrice Bergeron or Anze Kopitar. He is the player who everybody thinks Name Withheld is. When he is on the ice (and he will be 20+ minutes a night) the other team is going to have to fight tooth and nail to get to our net. All of this and he's good for 20 goals a season. Plus his defensive stability will give me leeway to pick riskier players down the line. x - Monahan - Tarasenko x - Staal - x x - Jones x - Parayko

eXXon posted:If Nuge can't score at a respectable rate playing in a free wheeling system with Hall and Eberle how exactly does he have so much room to grow? His odds of being traded to a real hockey team have increased dramatically with the emergence of Draisatl. Once he's free the healing can begin. He'll learn to trust again, and in time, maybe how to play hockey... Just as the Schultz, and the Dubnyk before him.

Couturier is the fellow who I compared to Staal earlier, but truthfully I don't think he's ever gonna be even as good as Jordan is. Not that it's a knock on him just that don't underrate Jordan Staal, you bastards.

Homer pick time, but also happens to fill a vicious need. Olli Maatta come on down. Poor Olli has had a rough couple of seasons with horrible shoulder injuries and cancer keeping his training time down. In spite of that he performed ably as a 21 year-old anchor on the Pens blueline. He had a rough couple of games in the playoffs, true. So bad that it got to the point that he was sat to rest and collect himself. This doesn't concern me. He's signed long-term on a reasonable, Brodin-esque contract and I believe he will continue to improve as he gets time to heal and train properly. Plus Jones, Parayko and Maatta is a fuckin' great D-corps. Mentholmoose is up.

Also 18 is a bit young for dudes that aren't named McDavid or Matthews. You guys are getting a bit HFboardsy with the prospects. Gonna be a lot of folks saying "Well my team may be better than yours in four or five seasons so long as my players don't get broken and develop as intended" Pedigree drafting will get you the Zach Fucales of the world.

To his credit left-d is pretty barren of positive possession players at this point. The few that are left are ancient or uncertain commodities. My argument is solely in the context of the the draft, not so much for Werenski as a prospect. It's a bit of a short-coming in our design but picking prospects who still need multiple years to develop doesn't offer much to argue over in terms of they way we construct teams. That said if he plays next year and is awesome I'll gladly eat my words.

I still need to fill out my top four and out of the remaining guys left for that role, I'll bank on Werenski over most of them over the next three seasons at a fraction of the cost. Can we compromise on "I like the Werenski pick more than Cam Fowler"?
