2nd overall pick in 2nd dynasty draft... Who to take?

[Eichelanator]

I'm in a dilemma with my 2nd overall pick in the draft that will take place in September. I shift between a couple of names. I'm looking mainly for youngsters ready to burst in the league. Is Keller a good option or it might take him another year to pile some reasonable points? The guy who picks first is not really into the young guns, he goes with the name, if it says nothing to him, he passes... So is there players that are NHL ready and didn't played there rookie year that could be a better option than Keller? Thanks!!

What are some available names?

[Eichelanator]

Guentzel, Boeser, Provorov, Chabot, Strome, Shypachyov, Connor, Kiprasov, Bjorkstrand, Theodore, Sergachyev, McAvoy, Chichrun, Truba...

Guentzel - with Sid, Provorov - going to be stud D (not sure how D are valued in your league), option trade down for a couple picks, lots of decent guys.

I'd go with Clayton Keller. Arizona is looking pretty thin at the right side but could Center the 3rd line. Guentzel should be out-producing Keller for the next 1-3 years but long-term I still go with Keller. Easily the most talented prospect out there, not often one can match elite puck handling skills with elite skating. Keller is less seasoned as a player and will most likely go through some growing pains as the season goes along but I wouldn't be worried about his future production.

2017-18 Season Projections

GP/G/A/PTS/FLOOR-CEILING
Clayton Keller (ARI) 76 13 32 45 30/55
Jake Guentzel (PIT) 82 23 33 56 50/65

Guentzel for me but with that sort of talent down there I would be hoovering up picks of possible as Bjorkstrand is a fave too and that's before you start looking at Provorov etc

I'm pretty sure Keler will be there for you at 2 though...
