Do I want the 1st overall pick?
League and team details in my signature.
The owner of the #1 pick in our draft is looking to trade it because he is short on picks. I, on the other hand have a lot of picks. I have two firsts(3,5), three seconds(11,12,19), and two fourths(31,39)...... Here are the top options available: F - Iginla, Semin, Koivu, Benn, Heatley, J.Staal, Pominville, E.Kane, Carter, Yakupov, Landeskog... D - Byfuglien, Pietrangelo, Boyle, Chara, Yandle, Greeen, Keith... G - Kiprusoff, Smith, Price, Lehtonen, Luongo, Brodeur... Is there anyone there that I should be moving some of my picks to secure, or should I just just let the available players fall to me as they may? |
No, you don't want it.
Sit tight. Your keeper group is great, you want to keep your top-end quantity of picks. There are lots of good options there, I don't see one guy standing out. You are going for the win THIS year with this team. And there is no guy that stands out for just THIS year. |
Normally I would advise quality over quantity but in this case I think I would prefer taking 5 of those guys in the first 19 rather than trade up.
No one on that list looks like they would supplant a current keeper of yours other than if Yakupov has a huge season. Since Benn and a good number of top D-men are also available I like the idea of sticking with what you have. Especially since you have two picks in the top five. |
I would agree with the rest. Plus, two of the guys you listed should fall to you anway with your two first rounders. No reason to trade up.
|
If you really want to move up a couple spots, maybe offer your 3rd overall plus a 4th rounder for his 1st.
Doubt he goes for it, but if he's desperate to add a pick, he might. |
Sit with what you have, there is no one out there that is a "must have".
|
I agree that there isnt anyone there worth jumping up a couple picks from either #3 or #5. But is there anyone there that I should be sending two second rounders for? Or maybe a high second and a high fourth?
