Who draft after Patrick ans Hischier?

[Slythefly]

I have the 4th choice overall. Who draft after Patrick and Hischier?

[Slythefly]

Rasmussen or Vilardi?

[Eskimo Brother]

Middlestadt? Makar? Liljegren?
It's a bit of a toss up after the top two. Trade down to 7-8 if you can I would say.

[FinnishFlash]

Vilardi, Tolvanen and Middlestadt would be my next 3 in no particular order. I change my mind day to day on the order haha

[Eskimo Brother]

Also a couple people very high on Necas. So it all seems very up in the air.

is your draft taking place now, before the nhl draft, or can you wait? as was mentioned above, once you get passed the top two, it's pretty close for the next several picks, but after the nhl draft, when we'll know where everyone winds up, it's bring some prospects' fantasy value up and down.
also, it would help to know the league settings? are we talking points-only, or multi-cat (and which cats)?

if you had to decide today, I agree with eskimo brother and try to trade down. all the players mentioned above are all really close (vilardi, mittelstadt, makar, liljegren, tolvanen, Rasmussen, necas) and there are a few more to add to that list as well (pettersson, glass, tippett, suzuki, yamamoto, valimaki) depending on the league settings.
if no one wants to trade up, points-only i'd take a chance on either liljegren or makar. more risk, but also more upside. multi-cat i'd probably go with mittelstadt.

I agree with others, there are 5-10 players to consider at #4 right now. Unless your draft is in April, wait until the whole season is over and scouting services release their final rankings. Even if your draft is before the NHL draft, you'll have a pretty good picture of the order by looking at multiple rankings. Don't worry about this yet, there should be lots of time.

Assuming Hischier, Patrick, Mittelstadt go 1-3. there is a new group after that.

Fantasywise those are the intresting names: Petersson, Glass, Villardi, Tippet, Tolvanen, Necas. On D its Valimaki, Heiskanen, Lilegren.

Personally i think the one that will make the most draft buzz is Petersson, who continues to climb.

[Slythefly]

The choice is between Vilardi, Tippett and Mittelstadt.

[Jouko-Pouko]

The choice is between Vilardi, Tippett and Mittelstadt.

Is your draft seriously in early April? Otherwise I don't understand why you're thinking about this yet.

But between those options, I'd disregard Tippett based on comments from Craig Button.

Tippett is sliding down my draft board as well based on Button's comments. I'll let someone else take him.

Tolvanen would be my pick. I'm hoping he slides to me at 13... but if I had the 3rd pick myself, I'd trade down and go all-in with him and whatever extra incentive the trade gives me!
