I will bring glory to Arizona again, so long as we still have no native Arizona fans more inclined to do so.

Man, picking at this stage is like pulling teeth. I was hoping for Hedman so instead I'll take John Tavares I imagine he's due a big payday but I think he's got at least 5 good years left in him and maybe 5 more decent ones after that.

Teemu Pokemon posted:I legitimately think that he is elite or just on the cusp, is young, signed decently long on a contract that doesn't even look that bad now, and has good fancies on a so-so team. I was going to pick Kucherov for similar reasons but he was sniped on me (and I might've gone this way anyway because Kucherov is gonna get like 9M in two years). There were a few centers (one in particular) that I considered there, but I feel like top flight wingers have the shallowest pool compaired to centers and D of a similar caliber so Don't get me wrong - I think he's a solid pick (I got him at 14 last year and would've jumped to have him at 12 this year.) Guys who can score 40 goals are rare, winger or no - and when it comes to quality centers I think that well is a lot deeper than wingers of Tarasenko's stature.

Really surprised Josi went "before" Doughty, and maybe a good 5-10 other defensemen in that age/skill range. Maybe I don't know his body of work all that well, though so I could be off base here.

Well it's Kessel and Jultz if we're going for under 30 or Kessel and Keith if we're going straight for points. Keith might be the better logical choice than Jultz even factoring in age. He's got another 3-4 years left in him and I could see him playing out his contract pretty easily, actually.

take me you ANIMAL posted:What's gonna happen when he has ten picks and hits the cap hit already? I'd say if it goes another round or two and we can't find a taker we can do a consensus BPA. We had to do that before and it worked out pretty well. Might be worth posting it in the off-season thread and seeing if we can get a taker in here though.

take me you ANIMAL has until 12:09, then Teemu Pokemon Also Letang is a definitely a steal. He's a legit #1 and I think he'll come back like a man possessed next year. Until he gets concussed again. But I also think that with each concussion he loses a bit of human compassion and knowledge of things outside of hockey, so in a way he's only going to get better.

He's getting old and he's expensive, but he's still on the board and all of you guys are building young so someone needs to build to win now. Anze Kopitar He had a very bad year shooting percentage-wise last season. I fully expect he'll be back in the 20-30 goal 60-70 point range next season. His contract is super-loving goofy but when you compare his fancy stats to Toews it's not so far out. Tavares/Kopitar/Jones, a little something for now and a little something for later. Arabian Jesus is still being consensus-ed so Vincent Van Goat is up followed by Jamwad Hilder

FBS posted:I was waffling between Carter and Kopitar for a while but man, if he doesn't bounce back that contract is going to be so awful. Plus I've got to pay Matthews in a couple years. No doubt Carter is the better choice, especially if he's the #1C for a team. What really pushed me over the edge is how similar Kopitar is to Toews, down to the stupid contract. His deployment, the minutes he eats free up hypothetical Tavares to run hog-wild on

Matt Murray is a drat good goalie - I almost took him with my last pick. The only thing is while I'm convinced an awful goalie can tank a good team, I'm not convinced an average to above-average goalie really makes a difference in overall team success in the same way a guy like Price or younger Lundqvist would.

I was pretty torn between Giroux and Kopitar (since Giroux's contract is shorter and cheaper and he still does a better job putting up the points). That said I think he's probably the last unpicked unequivocal 1C (save the ancient, bearded one) so if you haven't got one by now you're pretty much a "building for the future" sort of team

Goddamn Perry is 32? When did that happen? Also probably a good call - he was 4% off his career shooting percentage last season so unless he is imploding he's probably good for another year or two of hitting 30

lazerwolf posted:Gimme Alex Wennberg I almost picked him over Kopitar but his fancy stats and shooting percentage spike have me really thinking he might be more of the 40-50 point player than the 50-60 sort.

In any case - 10AM so my turn to go. Ivan Provorov is the one-eyed man in the land of the blind - I mean the best defenseman on the Flyers. Not exactly the highest praise, but rest assured I think he's a better than or at the very least comparable to a handful of the young bucks that have already come through (Hanifin, Slavin, Ghost, etc.) At 20 he is already playing the toughest minutes and making Andrew Macdonald look like an NHL defenseman again. More importantly, he's cost controlled for a few more seasons which is very important because of some fucker's $10 million dollar forever contract. Kilza is up.

JoelJoel posted:Meh, small sample size blah blah. I guess my beef is really just that I don't know who he is and he doesn't do lots of points. Really question: was he picked last time and if so how'd he do in the eshl sim? He did. He went ~425 last year so... While he may have had a good year, that seems like a bit of a gamble erring on the side of youth over skill. I think there are a lot of comparable guys in there early 20s that might have been safer choices, but who ever really can tell with that sort of thing?

The Arizona Coyotes are very super excited to select their second former Colorado Avalanche-ian, Mikko Rantanen. He's a 20 year-old giant child who scored 20 goals on an abysmal, horrendous team. As much as I am remiss to select a second part of what is unequivocally one of the worst teams in the league, his ELC and prowess cannot be passed up. Also that gives me this so far. Landeskog - Tavares - Rantanen X - Kopitar - X Provorov - Jones X - Hamonic Good Soldier Svejk fucked around with this message at 02:46 on Jul 24, 2017 |
