Reply With QuoteI'd take Bracco if you can gamble on upside. I think Eriksson Ek will be a good player, but I don't see "star" in him. Bracco is way more risky and the ceiling and floor is pretty darn wide.
Eriksson EK or Bracco
29th overall pick. I can't decide.
Mutlticat H2H fantasy points league with G, A, PPP, SOG, Hits, Blocks, FOW, PIM, plus minus etc. Extra weighting for goals.

Re: Eriksson EK or Bracco
Erikson Ek for me. Everyone runs for the hills when they hear "two-way player" but he's very talented. Bracco has upside but he's nearly half a decade away from even showing us whether or not he can cut it in the NHL.
Re: Eriksson EK or Bracco
20th overall vs 61st. For me it's Ek.
Re: Eriksson EK or Bracco
Definitely Ek.

Re: Eriksson EK or Bracco
Eriksson Ek, and it's not even close. Very high NHL certainty, good upside. Bracco has low NHL certainty and similar upside.
Re: Eriksson EK or Bracco
Ek for me as well, and by a good margin

I can't list my 2nd main keeper as there are too many players, but it is a keep all H2H points-only league
Re: Eriksson EK or Bracco
Bracco has that star potential but is more likely than not to reach it (hence his high draft spot).
JEE has good upside as well, and since his chances of reaching the NHL are better, I'd favor him here.

Re: Eriksson EK or Bracco
Bracco. 100 times out of 100. This kid is seriously, seriously underrated. Just sublime.
Don't be a slave to idiot NHL GMs and their draft lists, which have been proven wrong time and time (and time) again.

Re: Eriksson EK or Bracco
Lol. Just like Grimaldi right?Originally Posted by mounD
Eriksson Ek is 10 time the prospect Bracco is. You blame NHL gms and their draft list when NHL gems are rarely or ever the ones who make the lists. I told you there was zero chance of Bracco going in the first round and every indication he'd be a late second rounder.
Re: Eriksson EK or Bracco
Grimaldi is MUCH smaller than Bracco -- he's 5'6" 160 at 22 years old. Bracco is like 5.9" 170+ at 18 years old. Plus, I don't remember Grimaldi breaking any top-10 NHL star Forward's scoring records.
At least pick a good example, Ev. Too easy.

Re: Eriksson EK or Bracco
And is Grimaldi even a good example of a failed small player? He had a very good rookie AHL season and saw some NHL time.

Re: Eriksson EK or Bracco
I am going to go against the masses myself and say I'd take Bracco. I think at this point he is just as much a gamble as JEE, but he has a higher upside, should he make it.
