Ottawa selects RW Patrik Laine.

Phone posting so will try to effort it later. Patrick Kane was already taken, and this guy is just a younger Patrick Kane. Carolina takes Mitch Marner. e; it feels like this year is skewing younger than years past. Jordan7hm fucked around with this message at 02:29 on Jul 14, 2017 |

Jamwad Hilder posted:Agreed, but it's not a horrible pick. I'd love to hear the rationale. There's not a lot to dig into tbh. At the 20 spot you're picking young players who you want to build around. How young depends on what kind of team you're looking to build. I really like Marner, more than the other wingers who would be comparable to him in terms of age / skill ceiling . There are centers I like as much as him, but as someone else said, there are a lot of centers available and I'll probably be able to grab someone comparable on the way back around. In terms of why I value him so highly... His performance in his rookie pro season was pretty good and there's nothing really there to suggest he won't build off that next year. His on ice sh% is maybe a bit high, but his own shooting % is low and I think his IPP was probably unluckily low too. I think the Matthews @ 5 pick was as much a reach as this (just because of how high it was, I understand why you make that pick if you want that guy). So was Gaudreau @ whatever it was picked at. Gaudreau's 23 year old season was basically identical to Marner's 19 year old season.

T-Bone posted:for me it was between Tavares/Seguin/Schiefele/Tarasenko. In a vacuum Scheifele's season looks like it was an aberration. Lowered his shooting rate from previous years and shot 20% himself. 3nd in the league in on ice shooting %, and his linemate was first (with 500 minutes as the minimum TOI). It's unlikely he repeats those 40 ES assists. Normally I'd say he's due for a regression, but given his linemate is Laine, who appears to be the second coming of Ovechkin, who knows.

Ginette Reno posted:He seemed as dominant as ever last year when he was actually playing. And his skating is so good that even losing some of it would still have him being a great dman. The injury thing is a major concern with Letang. I like Trouba and Lindholm but I don't see a big argument for them over any of the guys who were mentioned. They're all second tier #1s with the exception of Shattenkirk who is probably the best PP quarterback in the league (but not a #1).

Kilza posted:If I thought Letang was going to stay healthy, I would have gone for him over Klingberg. Then again, if I thought Letang was going to stay healthy, somebody else would've thought that too and picked him way earlier (late 1st/early 2nd). If he was healthy he'd be somewhere in the top 4 D picked.

Not sure I'd take him over Hedman even if he was fully healthy, and he and Burns would be a bit of a toss up too.

It's maybe a tiny bit early for him, but Ginette has two picks before I go again and took him in the fourth round last year. I'm taking Matt Murray.

Ginette Reno posted:He's not exactly young so I might have just hosed up but I feel like he's better than a 58 point player. We'll see I guess. He's had some really bad luck (personal shooting %. never that high, keeps getting worse, and so does his on ice sh %) but it's been three years in a row. Guy seems like he'd maybe appreciate a shakeup.

I'm taking Sam Reinhart. He's easy to forget but he's 21 year old #2 overall pick who is just scratching the surface of his offensive potential. On Buffalo, so it's all relative, but his possession stats are good too. I think the Sabres are going to regret not extending him this summer.

Jamwad Hilder posted:I think it's too early unless you really want the full three years of the deal (meaningless in this draft) or think he's going to be something special right away. The entire draft is meaningless. It's not necessarily about building the team that scores the most next season. Beyond just gimmick teams (like what I assumed ThinkTank was doing until his last pick) there are also just different philosophies around how you build your team. I'd be surprised if Hischier made it back around, so if you want that #1 pick you've kinda got to take him now. Jordan7hm fucked around with this message at 16:55 on Jul 19, 2017 |

Risto is hard to gauge. Dude is a monster baby playing crazy heavy minutes he absolutely is not ready to play, but if he were playing sheltered minutes like most other guys his age he would probably be lauded as a future superstar.

Technetium posted:It's when most start declining yes. Patrick Roy came out of the lockout pretty rough and had two mediocre seasons before turning it back around. Hasek was pretty meh in Detroit for a few years there before being an absolute beast for Ottawa. Luongo had two pretty average seasons in 2012-14 and then three pretty good seasons. Tim Thomas's three year run bookended by Vezinas (with losing his job because he wasn't very good during that middle season). Etc Good goalies have mediocre seasons some times, for lots of reasons.

Verviticus posted:i think you're overrating his career and i definitely wouldn't bank on him being a better choice than andersen for the length of their contracts I might buy this argument with another goalie but Andersen has a single season with a save % above 920. His last two seasons, representing 50% of his body of work in the NHL, were barely better than Rask's "mediocre seasons". His other full season was slightly worse. Dude is a .918 goalie after about 5k shots and, other than goalies being voodoo, will probably not be more than that.

I don't think he's immune to aging, but those two seasons don't fit along any kind of aging curve. They're huge drops from his previous standard of performance. That's why I think they're more likely to be outliers. I think Luongo is probably a reasonable comparison to Rask at the same stage of their careers, though Rask has had higher highs and lower lows.

Guentzel is for real. My only concern with him is his size and where he likes to play. He's super smart / elusive but he goes into places where you get hurt, and at some point that's gonna catch up to him. Anyway I'm taking a guy who scores at every level, is coming off a very under appreciated rookie season, and who has shockingly good WOWYs and fancies (in admittedly only a season of work). Anthony Mantha. Which leaves me with Mantha - Reinhardt - Marner Theodore - Ekblad Murray

JoelJoel posted:Lol, the guy with half a season shooting 20 percent playing with hall of famers. Watch the kind of shots Guentzel takes and where he takes them from. He gets open so that he has the time to picks corners. He's gonna be a Tanguay. In pro hockey he has 58 goals on 290 shots. Unless his game changes significantly his low end shooting is going to be like 14%.
