Re: NHL Draft Questions for DobberProspects Ramblings
How do you feel about this years draft class being considered by many as "weak". In your opinion, is it a weak class compared to other draft years because there is no clear cut #1 pick, or do you think it's a solid draft year filled with parity amongst the picks. I would love to hear your opinion on this years draft as a whole.

Re: NHL Draft Questions for DobberProspects Ramblings
Which prospects do you feel seem the most overrated and which are the most "under the radar"?
Thanks!
On a fantasy hockey break.
Re: NHL Draft Questions for DobberProspects Ramblings
Who would be top 10 forwards and top 10 defenceman from a multi-cat fantasy keeper prospective when combining the prospects from both the 2013 and 2014 draft years? I think this would be a good way to compare the top talent in this draft vs last draft - particularly if tiers were defined.

Re: NHL Draft Questions for DobberProspects Ramblings
In your opinion, what are the kind of players the Sharks should be after in this draft? I have my own ideas, but I'm curious about yours. I remember reading you thought Thatcher Demko in your mock, but not sure if you think that's who they should seek out.

If Bennett would fall to 5 and go to NYI does he become the best fantasy own?
Re: NHL Draft Questions for DobberProspects Ramblings
In a points only keeper, 6forwards 4dmen, 1 goalie, 5 bench, and 9 prospects, who should go 1st overall, ekblad or Bennett?

Re: NHL Draft Questions for DobberProspects Ramblings
I'm wondering a whole lot about three players I've recently drafted: Leon Draisaitl, Nikolaj Ehlers, and Nick Ritchie.
Aside from clunky skating, what else does Leon Draisaitl need to improve upon to become an elite NHL player? As for Ehlers, how far out from the NHL do you see guys like him and William Nylander? What's a realistic upside for Nik Ehlers? And with respect to Nick Ritchie, do you really see the "weight" issues being a concern going into the draft? Is he really that inconsistent? And how does he compare to power forward types like Brett Ritchie, Tom Wilson, Devante Smith-Pelly, Chris Brown, etc. (and any other young power forwards)? In your estimation, what is a realistic upside for Nick Ritchie, and do you believe he will be in the NHL next season as some have claimed?
Thanks so much for taking questions.

Re: NHL Draft Questions for DobberProspects Ramblings
It seems in recent years there is a trend for a D man's offensive upside to be questioned, only to see him blossom the following year. Trouba, Zadorov, and Brodin are examples of this. Is there a D man in this year's draft who you think might have similar hidden offense?
Re: NHL Draft Questions for DobberProspects Ramblings
How would you rate the quality of goalies in this draft, relative to the recent drafts?
Re: NHL Draft Questions for DobberProspects Ramblings
How long before each of the top twelve prospects are ready for the nhl? Thanks man.
Re: NHL Draft Questions for DobberProspects Ramblings
Which QMJHL players from this draft do you see in the NHL in say 3 years ?
Consider Sim Hockey because guys who play shutdown minutes, deflect shots and clear creases build championships. Yet in fantasy they litter the unwanted UFA lists.
