If they all play 82games, I'd say Taylor Hall.
But, because these guys are all in that 75-85 range, I'd simply go with the guy I think represents the most consistent scorer - because I simply don't want to "blow it".
For me, I picked Phil Kessel.
Taylor Hall
Patrick Kane
Corey Perry
Alex Ovechkin
Phil Kessel
Jamie Benn
I'm picking 7th overall and need to figure out my first round pick. Who gets the most points this season by these players. I won't see all of these guys but just want to know who you's think is going to do well for this season.

I'm putting my money on Patrick Kane this year, literally. As in, I bet him to lead the league in scoring. Hall's a good bet too.
Good call, thanks for the input!
1. Crosby
2. Stamkos
3. Tavares
4. Giroux
5. Malkin (could be as high as #2, if he plays full season... but...)
6. Getzlaf
7. Seguin
That would probably be my top seven.
Regardless of what we think, you should write out your own top seven.
Some people simply don't do this with even their first round pick.
I'd pick Kaner, then Kessel.
Really interested to see what Kane does with Richards this year (great sleeper pick).
I may be the last believer here, but I think Ovechkin outpoints all of these players this year.
Keeper league (12 teams) - keep 6 (+ NHL team is auto keep)
Weekly lineup: 1T, 9F, 4D, 1G
Points only:
Forwards & Dmen: goal (1), assist (1)
Goalies: win (2), otl/sol (1), shutout (2)
Team: win (2), otl/sol (1)
Only 2 FA pickups for the season (remaining: 0)
[T] Edmonton
[F] Panarin, Pettersson, Bedard
[D] Heiskanen, Theodore, Dobson
[G]
I have my top 7 in place. I want to leave my center until late as we only pick 10 centers so I can get a PPG player in round 4 or 5. I would like to get a RW/LW, RW/RD, or LW/RD early on as I see RW and RD as weaker than normal.
Thanks for your input, much appreciated

I like how you think, and yes Kane with Richards and Saad could be great vs his sappy linemates last year!
It could happen, looks like he has his big shot going again in the pre season. It looks even better than last season so far I think. He's single again too so that helps, just ask Rory McIlroy haha!
