Entry Draft in Progress

[TheRook]

LOL.
I'll probably post my pick on the league website at 8:05pm... I have to leave work now and am on "dad duty" with my kid until 8:00pm.

Until then...

dad dutie could include showing your child how to draft a player in fantasy hockey.

Haha awesome.

It's probably between Scheifele and Khokhlachev at 19. And I'd probably go with Scheif of those two. Khok might have a higher upside but I'm not sure his lack of size and strength will allow him to reach that upside....Scheif is a pretty safe pick and he's definitely no slouch offensively.

Bath is done.
Kid is in bed.
Khokhlachev has been drafted at #19.

Thanks for inputs on Khokhlachev & Scheifele.
I'm a Windsor boy and my "Junior Team" in the league is the Windsor Spitfires, so this was a fun move.

I'll pass out as much REP as I can!
Thanks again.

just pick rattie pretty happy since my next pick is in round five

larsson
jurco
rattie

[Big Ev]

Don't like the pick. Avoid Russians if possible. Others are equally talented and carry less risk.

[Dean Youngblood]

It looks like I am a little late to the party. Sorry Pengwin7.

You went with Khokhlachev I see. Who were some other options?

I should've been following this thread earlier.

EDIT: I see that you update the picks on the OP as you go. Scheifele and Saad should definitely be on your radar.

How many rounds do you go?

[Big Ev]

Take Rocco Grimaldi next time you're up and you'll reap the rewards. He has one of the highest upside's in the draft.

Then take Jean-Gabriel Pague once you get into later rounds. Most will not know about him since he isn't ranked by Central Scouting but he is so skilled. He'll be on more people's radars soon enough.

[Big Ev]

oh wait lol, he was already picked. my bad

[Dean Youngblood]

I was hoping to see Grimaldi available too. The kid is so talented.

Pague is a good pick too but you should be able to get him a little later. Another one of my favourite sleepers is Reid Boucher. All he does is score.

20. Ty Rattie
21. Brandon Saad
22. Mark Scheifele
23. Niklas Jenson
24. Dougie Hamilton
25. Boone Jenner
26. Tyler Biggs
27. Michael St. Croix
28. John Gibson
29. Samu Perhonen
30. Dmitri Jaskin

I'm up and need help again.
Any recommendations here? (Thanks.)

[Big Ev]

Oskar Klefbom - D. You already have Murphy but Klefbom is the best player available IMO.

[vandalay]

Maybe take a flyer on Rask or Ambroz if you want a forward. They are both high risk but potentially high reward if they put it together.

[Dean Youngblood]

Don't pick Ambroz. I am not a fan at all. Sounded like a tool in some of his online interviews too haha

If it were me, I would be selecting Scheifele. No questions asked.


EDIT: I thought your list was players available. DUH!

[dyzfunctioned]

Don't pick Ambroz. I am not a fan at all. Sounded like a tool in some of his online interviews too haha

If it were me, I would be selecting Scheifele. No questions asked. Saad is a nice consolation prize too

Both already gone Dean

[Fast Tony DeNiro]

I might take a flier on Rask there. There's a chance he doesn't pan out and thats something to take into consideration, but there's a chance he turns his game around and becomes that top 5 talent he was supposed to be.
