Draft Help-Do you believe the hype

[rocket94]

Entry Draft is quickly approaching and I have the 6th pick, just outside being able to nab one of the top 4 from this year's class. Would you suggest taking someone else from this year's group, or do you think Johnny Gaudreau would be a better option as he's still available in our league? There is a lot of hype surrounding him, but just looking for insight on what the real deal may be.

what kind of vets are available with that pick

or is it a farm draft

Without knowing exactly who is available other than this years group, this question is pretty hard to answer.

As far as others from this years group, I still say Ehlers is a top 4 pick for me.

No vets, just a farm draft. Gaudreau just happens to be undrafted from past years. So I guess my question is, Gaudreau vs. Ehlers, Fleury, Nylander, Dal Colle, Kapanen, or anyone else from this year's class. We count points and +\- for our league. I'm just looking at who has the highest upside and the best chance of reaching it. I don't need help right away so the timeline doesn't really matter.

If we're talking just 2014 guys and Geaudreau, Nikolaj Ehlers is also a top4 pick for me. Bennett, Draisaitl, Reinhart, Ehlers, Nylander, MDC ... then we can start talking about Johnny Hockey.

Ehlers would be my pick as well. The hype around him is building but I think it is justified.

johnny hockey's definitely overhyped for this season. let's not forget that he's a rookie, and mackinnon and his close to 60 points were considered amazing by rookie standards. gaudreau is no where near the player mack is. don't expect more than 40-45, and that's being optimistic.
personally, i sold high on him in my league this offseason.

Ehlers here too, Nylander - Johnnny Hockey. Top 2 have better upside while Johnny hockey will be here sooner

If you have the 6th pick then i think you are going to miss out on the top 5.. But i think you are still goin to be fine..

With Ekblad, Reinhart, Draisaitl, Bennett, and Dal Colle.. you get to pick from Ehlers, Nylander, Kapanen, or Gaudreau..

Personally, I would pick Ehlers or Nylander..
