Dispersal draft first pick

[chrisjoyce]

We are dropping 2 teams and I have first pick of the listed prospects below I don't see any big names jumping out so I'm having trouble deciding. I'm in win now mode as I won the championship last year. Looking for anyone who can help me now I'm leaning towards Hackett.

Prospects
Anthony Stolarz
Lukas Sutter
Dalton Thrower
Cody Payne
Brendan Woods
Chris Bigras
JT Compher
Connor Hurley
Steve Santini
Nick Sorensen
Matt Hackett
Rasmus Ristolainen
Jeremy Smith
Joel Armia
Mark Stone
Josh Morrissey
Alexander Khokhlachev
Shea Theodore
Jason Dickinson
Dylan Olsen

Olsen will play but depends on what the scoring categories are to decide whether he contributes?

any chance you can trade the pick to a rebuilding team for something more in lines with your needs

[petegreg21]

Assuming this is for the team in your sig, I'd say Morrissey > Hackett > Ristolainen. Obviously this depends on stat categories but I prefer Morrissey the most out of anyone on that list. High octane scorer, amazing skater, not afraid to hit and has been known to toss in some solid PIMs.

[sharpp87]

Morissey, Hackett, Theodore, Ristolainen are all nice pick.

You have a lot of old D men in Markov, Streit, Gonchar and green is often injured so i'd take a D for sure..

morissey or Ristolainen for me.... not sure witch one I like more... flip a coin for me but take a D

[Axeman33]

If you are in a "win now", I wouldn't be relying on prospects to help you much anyways.

From the list there, I think the closest to aiding your roster would be:

Armia, Ristolainen, Hackett, Stone

[mounD]

Ristolainen if you want a Dman; Stone if you want a forward. I'd probably go with Stone.

[woodrow]

If you need a D, then Morrissey or Theodore seem to be your best bets. If it is a F, I would go with Stone or Khokhlachev, although the latter may have a hard time breaking into the Bruins lineup. Stone likely gets an opportunity this year with the Sens.

[STONE.]

And if you can't deal the pick, then take the best prospect and deal him. Heck, if you can't deal the pick, find someone and orchestrate a deal pre-draft and then pull the trigger once you own the new player.

I'd take Morrissey.

[Kofax]

Crappy list. I'd go with Stone if I had to, but best option is to trade it in win now mode.

yes that is another option if the pick can't be traded find someone who is willing to trade you something you value for a player he can't otherwise get, you draft the player and then make the trade after the draft
