Re: 2014 Draft - what's after the top 5?
My 2014 draft rankings would be:
1) Sam Bennett
2) Sam Reinhart
3) Aaron Ekblad
4) Michael Dal Colle
5) Leon Draisaitl
-------------------------------------
6) Nikolaj Ehlers (huge riser)
7) Nick Ritchie (PF project-type)
8) William Nylander (huge skills)
9) Brendan Perlini (riser)
10) Jared McCann (jack of all trades)
11) Jake Virtanen (versatile winger)
12) Kaspari Kapanen
13) Nikolay Goldobin (biggest sleeper of draft; mucho offensive wizardry)
14) David Pastrnak (way more pts. in same league/same age as F. Forsberg)
15) Ivan Barbashev (another big sleeper; nice toolbox)
16) Nikita Scherbak (riser)
17) Josh Ho-Sang (mucho skills)
18) Robby Fabbri (small; huge skills)
19) Jakub Vrana (sliding ranks, but very skilled)
20) Sonny Milano (small, highly skilled; Eichel's linemate)
I would be targeting guys like Ehlers / Nylander / Goldobin with your #9 pick; guys like Barbashev / Ho-Sang / Milano with your #23 pick. People are kind of down about this 2014 entry draft, but it's a lot better than people think. You could add a very talented prospect with your #9 pick, and chances are somebody good (upside) will be left at #23. Cheers.
