I would put Eriksson Ek somewhere in the top-10 most likely. Phil Myers somewhere in the 18-20 range. And I would consider Bjork, Wood, Dahlen in the top-30 as well but probably after the first 25 or so are gone.

I'm not prospects whiz, but being from Massachusetts there seems to be a lot of momentum behind Bjork getting a good look on a scoring line. Of course that comes with no guarantees, but I think that should put him at or near the top half of your rankings.

Thanks! Yes figured Ek around 8-10
Surprised Wood was ranked that high but fully agree with Dahlen and Bjork. Have a draw towards Lind as well might grab him higher then I should.
any thoughts on Haapala??

I love Haapala but it remains to be seen if he can play his style against NHL competition. And as an older prospect, he won't get many opportunities if he doesn't succeed quickly. He's risky but could be great if things go perfectly.

From the list of average draft position, I would put Chytil much higher than where he is. I think he should be somewhere around #20 (this year's draftees only). I wouldn't mind taking Lind right after him.

Yes I agree I won't be using that list exactly as I'm in a points only leaugue so outside the top 3-4 D most will drop to the bottom of the list

Had my Draft, 7RDs, 15 teams and all 2017 NHL draftees as well as any players not currently on peoples teams were available. I had Picks 12 - 21 - 69 - 71 - 86 and 101. Here are the goods
12- Vilardi
21- Makar
69 - Vaselainen
71 - Thomas
86 - Lind
101 - Forbot
I feel like i did well considering the gap between round 2 - 5. I missed out on Bjork (3rd round) and Dahlin, I pushed it to far he went just before 86, should have grabbed him at 71. The Bold 5 are for my farm team i can only keep 5 and also have Fabbo, should i move Fabbo or does he slate in clearly ahead of anyone listed above. I'm worried about his time line, as well as his point production. In a Points only league
