If you want the BPA, take Kaprizov at 2. If you're willing to risk it, gamble that he'll drop to your 5 & 6 spot...
Kaprizov has not been selected in my league (league/team in sig).
I have pick 2 (I'll take Patrick). I also have picks 5 and 6. Do you take Kaprizov with say pick 6? Who do you take with pick 5?
12-teams, keep 25 (keep 20 farm), H2H, start 6F/4D/1G, G=2, G=1, GA=-1
F (12): McDavid, Pastrnak, M.Tkachuk, Kaprizov, Robertson, Thompson, Point, Keller, Buchnevich, B.Tkachuk, Hischier, Konecny
D (8): Makar, Montour, Dunn, Chychrun, Dobson, Seider, Andersson, Hronek
G (2): Washington, Philadelphia
Farm F (13): Bedard, Dvorsky, Kulich, Nazar, Lysell, Bourque, Bourgault, Raty, Rosen, Khusnutdinov, Neighbours, Kovalenko, Gritsyuk
Farm D (7): Mintyukov, Korchinski, Cormier, Andrae, Morin, Brzustewicz, Cagnoni
2024 picks: estimated #12, #15, #24, #36 overall
2025 picks: estimated #3, #7, #12, #15, #24, #27, #36, #48 overall

If it's against this draft class, assuming Patrick and Hischier are taken, take Kaprizov. On top of having as much skills as anyone else aside from those two, he's farther along development which means less wait time compared to most other prospects (except those big two).
Just wondering, is Kaprizov actually expected in the NHL in 17/18 or 18/19?
He has a year left in his KHL contract, so 2018-2019 right now (unless he signs a contract extension which has been rumored but that might be just wishful thinking from his KHL team). Wild GM said he thinks Kaprizov is NHL ready right now, so they have a spot open for him when he leaves Russia.
And I would definitely take him at #5, and seriously consider trading up to #3 to make sure you get him.
A quick search on Karizov and you would have seen a few threads already asking this question.

Biggest issue is when do you want the impact... Kk won't be in the NHL this season so if you need someone now I hope he slides...
