Tough choice between 4 or 5 guys and I kinda wish I picked later so I didn't have to make the choice but I'll go with Tyler Seguin

e: oh gently caress Seguin in Vegas

for me it was between Tavares/Seguin/Schiefele/Tarasenko.

Scheifele's 20% shooting percentage scared me a little, even if he's younger than Seguin. Tarasenko is nasty but he's on the wing, and I think Tavares might be the best of the four but he's a bit older. I wouldn't have been unhappy with any of them but I think Seguin was the right choice.

I'd like to add that we do a draft in our Summer beer league and took a goalie and we're in first but we also give up like 40+ shots every game, we're pretty much Montreal and will lose in the first round

Kris Letang seems good here.

With the massive caveat of "when healthy" he is insanely good.

anyway Seguin/Forsberg/Letang seems like a pretty good core if they can all manage to get on the ice together for 70+ games

Looks like I can pick in about a minute? I'll edit this post.

Anyway editing this to homer it up and take Cory Schneider.

My team is more or less win now (although it's not really that old) and Schneider should rebound and do well with a real team in front of him. I was probably going to go Gibson if he was available but this is fine.

Seguin
Forsberg
Letang
Schneider

thus far

We'll see, Letang and Schneider are kinda risky I guess but I think they're capable of three or so more potentially really good seasons.

Rask definitely should have went ahead of Andersen. Talbot too. There's a case to be made ahead of Schneider even, I debated for a while but I had Rask last draft.

Rask was average last year, is 30 and has 4 years at 7 million. Andersen's posted better numbers this year and last and is cheaper and younger. No clue why people are down on Andersen but Rask is not better.

e: i should say Rask was a much better goalie than Andersen but he seems to be past his prime now.

I think it's debatable that Rask is past his prime and we're also talking about the goalie with the all-time highest regular season save percentage. I may be underrating Andersen a bit based on his 5v5 numbers though.

It might be too early for prospects but I'm extremely high on the greatest Clayton K. in professional sports, Clayton Keller.

Dude scored 1.45 points a game in the NCAA as an 18 year old. Those numbers are better than what Gaudreau did.

I'm not sure I'd really call him a prospect anyway, he was great at the WC and he'll be in Arizona's lineup 100% this year, probably on their #1 PP.

Guentzel was who I was thinking before I decided it was the time for Keller. Guentzel has super impressive numbers but his shooting % was very high. 19% in the regular season and like, 25% in the playoffs.

His AHL numbers were killer too though, I think he's probably for real. Maybe not at that pace, but a good top 6 guy.

62 points in 54 AHL games is great. Better than Toffoli at the same age for instance.

It's weird not drafting precious young boys but I imagine I'll have to start doing that soon.

I think I took Schneider too early and shoulda taken Manson or Carlson over one of my Swedes.


e: I like a lot of the same teams everyone is mentioning and also I think stab's team is very good outside of the Seabrook pick.

thufir and laderhan have good interesting teams too, and Ginette potentially might be better than Real Canadiens. Honestly there aren't a lot of teams that don't look pretty good for either right now or for the future I think the draft has gone well if a bit younger than usual.

I like Good Soldier's team. I think Kopitar rebounds and Tavares/Kopitar + that surrounding core will be really nice. Rantanen and Landeskog I *think* would progress well in that situation but maybe I just like them irrationally.

I want to say I took Honka like two or three drafts ago. I'm surprised they didn't bring him up sooner but I guess with Klingberg coming in like he did (and also being a RHS) they could be a little more patient.

Man I hope St. Louis and Chicago just flame out this year. Winnipeg, Dallas, and Nashville have such cool teams and interesting young players.


e: Would have liked to have gotten Dadonov too, but I figured he would go pretty soon after Shipper.
