    Zacha and Barzal. I like Provorov, but I don't often take 18-year-old defensemen as it's a six-year wait before they start putting up big points (usually). Forwards it's more like four or five. So if I can grab a good dman when he's 19 or 20, that's what I try to do.

    Thx for the advice !!

    Now you're making me second-guess myself about taking Hanifin as one of my seven... Would another fwd be a better choice ? But then again, sometimes you have Ekblads or Doughtys.....If I take just 1 D , should it be Hanifin or Provorov ?

    So many questions :-)

    Congrats on acquiring not only the top 7 picks, but an INSANE amount of young talent throughout your roster.

    Agree with Dobber on wait time - but with you adding McDavid/Eichel/Strome/Marner to your current F's and prospects - when only 6 count towards your scoring, I'd be more inclined to go with Provorov and Werenski here (and Hanifin in your top 5), hoping one becomes an elite points dman.

    Flip side is that if you're simply trying to gain assets - perhaps to trade for more established goalies - then I'd likely go Barzal and either Zacha or Crouse. Brazil because he's in the Marner/Strome tier for me. Zacha because he could be a home run with a fairly short path. And Crouse because while he won't likely be a big points guy, he should be playing quite soon, meaning his trade value is likely higher than a guy a few years out.

    Or just wait to see who EDM picks with their 16th/33rd and take them so that no other GM could possibly have a fantasy relevant Oiler to ruin your collection

    Ha!ha! Good analysis of my team .

    I agree with you on Barzal, I saw him play live at the Peewee tournament in Quebec a few years back (don't laugh) and he blew my mind . I circled his name on the program and here he is !

    I guess Dobber and Ross agree on their top 7 . Only Hanifin cracks it as a D with fwds being McDavid, Eichel, Marner,Strome, Barzal and Zacha.

    I'm leaning twds following their advice but I may be influenced by which teams they go to on Friday . For example, I have never owned a NJ devil . Also, if Merkley goes to Edm, how can I resist ? We'll see :-)

    You think I have enough to develop 4-5 decent ones in there ( only top 4 count) ? If so, I think so too ...

    Are you saying just Hanifin would be enough ?

    Barzal and Zacha for me, too. Like Dobber said, I like Provorov but I think in your fantasy draft you've got to take forwards with those prime 1st round picks. My top7 would be:

    McDavid, Eichel, Strome, Marner, Barzal, Zacha, Hanifin

    EDIT: I actually just realized D points are weighted, and it's not multi-cat settings. So I would snag Hanifin with the 7th pick here.

    Personally, considering weighted D points, I'd select:

    McDavid, Eichel, Strome, Marner, Barzal, Rantanen, Provorov

    Thats just my preference. I like Rantanen > Zacha and I like Provorov offensively > Hanifin

    Or, don't draft a D, take Zacha at 7 and package him and Rantanen for a very good defenceman who can score for you today
