    Default which draftee is best for my team?? NEED HELP

    Hey!

    So my keeper league draft and auction is tomorrow night.. In the draft, we can choose any player that has played less than 82 NHL games and has never appeared on any other GMs rosters... As well as the draft class of 2011 of course..

    So, here's a list of some of the best players in the available crop and I'm hoping you can tell me which player is the best fit for my roster.

    I currently have Kadri in one of my development roster spots and a team can only have 2. So if you think I should cut Kadri loose and take 2 from the following list, that's okay as well.

    Thanks in advance!

    LIST OF ELIGIBLE PLAYERS: in no particular order
    -Niederreiter
    -Desharnais
    -Dalpe
    -Tatar
    -Runblad
    -Omark
    -Eller
    -Zuccarrello
    -Hamonic
    -Tedenby
    -Spurgeon
    -Oliver Ekman Larson
    -Ellis

    -THE ENTIRE DRAFT CLASS OF 2011 -- I'm picking 7th though, so RNH/Landeskog and Huberdeau should be gone already.. Larsson maybe?

    Names that would be eligible if other GMs didn't already take a stab at them last year are: Hodgson/skinner/filatov/reimer/etc...

    Your help is needed! and if I've missed a name that you think is gold, let me know. Right now I'm leaning towards Desharnais cause his numbers throughout his career are the most rediculous out of anyone's on the above list, but he's 5,7" and has often been referred to as an overlooked player.. However, once gomez gets the boot or an injury comes up, I think he's a lock. Just my opinion. Change it if yours differs!

    If you're serious that no one picked up Skinner last season and is, in fact available, he should be your first. After that, Niederreiter is a good choice, Larsson will definitely be good eventtually, but most Top end "D" rookies take a few years to reach their potential. Tatar is going to be a Stud, but may be a few years away to to the Detroit System and their penchant for not rushing youngsters. Ekman-Larrsson is very good and already has a season of up and down between the NHL/AHL to know what it takes to stay. I'd also consider Mark Scheifele if the big 3 are gone before your pick. Dalpe culd be a steal and as another listed, take a look to see if Brayden Schenn is available. Another safe Bet is Tedenby who's already estblished himself in the NHL and now had Parise back healthy. Good Luck
