fawning deference posted:Seguin is real good but this definitely seems too early for him to go. He's actually the third highest goal scoring center over the past five seasons so it's not completely insane, and given his shiny new contract I'd say it's a pretty solid decision

mentholmoose posted:Hey I'm gonna take one of the best two-way centers in hockey, a multiple time 30 goal scorer and extreme fancy stats darling, Sean Couturier. I thought he was extremely overrated his first few years in the league but he has really grown into a good player, as much as I hate to admit it.

https://i.imgur.com/sI539jG.mp4 David Pastrnak has sick dangles and a sicker contract. He's definitely the sort of player who can take over a game on his own (not to say he doesn't have help) and will be good for years to come. Some people say you can't build around a winger but gently caress that look at those dangles

Agonizing over this but l will go with Matt Barzal because he hit a ppg at 20 and that's pretty uncommon.

Zodijackylite posted:Washington selects Dylan Larkin, because he's young and scores a lot. This was my other guy in consideration. He's got such a good contract and is a loving great skater but Barzal's rookie season (assuming it wasn't entirely a product of Tavares) just slightly edged him out in my mind

JawKnee posted:I will select Tomas Hertl. It's possible he'll regress, but hopefully last season is an indication of what his prime years will be with top line minutes. And I need a C I almost went with Hertl for the Czech connection and because he's awesome but as good as he is I can't see him replicating the 70+ points if production dips across the league. That was a tough choice too, because he's got the hands.

I love Jake but I don't think he repeats last season. I could see him doing 30-30 pretty consistently though. That said I think there are some more dynamic forwards still on the table that I'd have taken over him but he's for sure a really smart player

fawning deference posted:There is a winger I was prepared to take now but then I realized I needed a D still on the board. I feel like maybe because he missed 20 games last year he's been overlooked, or D have just been slow to run the board, but I consider him to be one of the top 3 offensive D in the league. Amazing fancies and good for 60-65pts, plays 24-25 mins a game, and to boot he's making just over $4m the next two seasons. Oh you absolute fucker

I was so hopeful one of Klingberg or Forsberg would fall because of their injury-shortened seasons but goons are pretty damned attentive hockey fans

Boeser's good but he's very much a complimentary player. His wrist shot is loving fantastic but his skating is not pretty or fast so he needs another guy (like Pettersson) who can lead a rush and dish it to him when he's trailing. If you look at his highlights like none of his goals are off the rush, he's always trailing or cycling. That's not necessarily a bad thing but I think if you put him with a lesser center you'd see his production drop accordingly

ThinkTank posted:Boeser spent like half of his rookie season with Sam Gagner as his centre. The rest with noted not playmakers Bo Horvat and Thomas Vanek. You're right in that he's primarily a trailer, but so is like 90% of shoot first players out there. Don't get me wrong - I'm not putting him down in the least and I fully believe he's a consistent 30 goal scorer and that's rare enough but just that compared to a guy like Forsberg I think he's got some obvious limitations

I was confused why Chabot was still on the board. He did some good things on a baaaaad team Even if he isn't Karlsson 2.0 he's still pretty goddamned good for what's left

https://i.imgur.com/tiIt9hC.mp4 Given the dearth of young proven centers on good contracts already in this draft, I have to pick Mika Zibanejad. Despite getting more defensive zone starts than ever last season, he still broke out and proved himself as a more than capable #1 center. I expect him to put up at least 50 points a season while making a very reasonable $5.35m

Trocheck is an interesting figure because 3 years ago he was an elite shutdown first line caliber center, then the next year his shutdown numbers significantly dropped but he put up nearly a ppg, and then this last season he (while injured) was basically just a really decent 3rd line center. If he regains form to either of the first two he is absolutely a steal at this point. I considered him over Zbad for a good long while because peak Trocheck is for sure the better player but he's been trending down and Zbad trending up

I think I'm going to have to go with another d-man, Mikhail Sergachev He didn't have quite as good of a season as the one prior but he's young and cost controlled for at least another year until he makes $INFINITY Not sure why he's still on the board but so far this draft seems to be favoring the proven commodities which is a bit of a shift from the past few years X - Barzal - Pastrnak X - Zibanejad - X Sergachev - Dumba
