In Keeper Leagues where you can only draft players either signed to a contract or drafted (e.g. UFAs from overseas signed between drafts can't be picked up until the next draft), what are some guys to watch for this upcoming draft?
An example from last year was Brunner.
As as aside, what are some some solid draft picks from this year's crop worth taking in the first round, outside of the big three forwards?
The only one in my books is goalie Reto Berra, he could see some NHL action next season and then itīs up to him to make the best of it.
Best offensive talent of this yearīs draft after MacKinnon, Drouin and Barkov are Nichushkin, Lindholm, Domi and my favorite for a late pick: Nicolas Petan.
