I am taking Scheifele short and long. I think he's a true #1 in the making and will surprise some.
Who do you like, this year and long term. I'm thinking Scheifele short term and Strome long term but wanted to hear what the forum thinks. One interesting twist, this pool is basically points only plus PIM this year but may move to add Hits, Blks next. Does this give Scheifele a significant boost?

I am taking Scheifele short and long. I think he's a true #1 in the making and will surprise some.
Scheifele next year, Strome long term for me.
Scheifle
Strome
Forsberg
Scheifele now and later for me, then Strome, then Forsberg.
I like Scheifele in the now and in the future.. Strome then Forsberg are my order of the next two..
Zorro says "vote for Dobber"
Angus is my best friend at dobberhockey..
Scheifele for me too. He started slowly, but really came on until getting injured - team sunk after that. He is in a good position to produce in short and long term.
Definitely Scheifele. I wasn't a big fan early on but I watched him a lot last season and I was really impressed. I think he has tons of potential and see him being the best option long-term. Scheifele appears set to centre Kane and Wheeler which makes him easily the best short-term option if he holds that spot. I should add that I am not as high on Strome as some others so this an easy one for me.
I'm shocked there isn't a lot of love for Forsberg.
I say it's 1A) Scheifele 1B) Forsberg... 2) Strome.
Scheifele for this year and beyond,
Strome
Forsberg

"Cleavage is like the sun. You can look, but dont stare.. Unless you're wearing sunglasses."
In a points only league, I would think these guys all have a similar ceiling, maybe even within 10 points of each other, but Scheifele is further ahead in his development so I would take him.
If you add hits, PIM and any of the other cats you mentioned, then Scheifele becomes the CLEAR choice amongst the three.

This turned out to be a little more clear cut than I would have thought. I'm trying to put a deal together to move Bobby Ryan for either Strome or Scheifele and a draft pick. Looks like Scheifele is the consensus pick now, and moving forward. Thanks guys! We'll see whether the other GM likes this or not.

Short term and long term I would take them like this:
Scheifele
Strome
Forsberg
I was looking for some threads on Scheifele and came across this... anyone care to revisit their rankings on Forsberg now?
(full disclosure: I probably would have ranked Forsberg last as well)

#- denotes number of years I have kept a player. 2 = I need to trade him this year, (F1) = Franchise Keeper, up to 4 years.
I still want Scheifele long term. I do like what forsberg has done and can understand that pick... But Maurice is making Scheifele complete, which will not hurt his prognosis
