some help with picks..REP

[finnys_fanatsy]

ok dobber people

i have picks #4 #5 #6 and #11 in our upcoming draft (early Oct). i have a list of guys i want but getting them all is not a possibility.

My first pick at #4 wil be Marner, however heres where it gets dicey. thers one other GM who has started a rebuild and is also looking for talent, he owns #1 #2 (Matthews and Laine). Number #3 will be Pulj..i have word that #7 will be Vesey. #8, #9 and #10..i have no clue, but i don't expect any 2016 draft picks to be taken (but thats a PURE GUESS #7 and #9 might be..the GM with those picks is generally hard to guage and also owns #3).

My Question, who do i leave exposed for #11, or how do you see them?

My list of potentials in order of preference:
Tkachuk #5
PLD #6??
Connor #6??
Provorov
Bjork
Keller
Aho
Wennberg
Dvorak

I would take Dubois and Connor at #5 and #6. And Marner at #4 makes sense.

Difficult to say about #11 without knowing who is still available but one of Tkachuk, Provorov, Bjorkstrand or Keller will be available, so I would want one of those guys.

That's a bit weird list of players being available. Is William Nylander available? If he is, then that would make my decisions more difficult.

Dubois and Connor for me as well and then I'm hoping that Provorov drops to me at 11. I think that with Ghost's season last year, people may shy away from other Flyers D prospects. If they do, this is an ample opportunity to swoop in and steal their future top Dman.

Well said. if you can get provorov at 11 then you will be considering it the steal of the draft in 3 years time! okay. maybe not.. but you will be liking the pick a lot.

Sounding like a parrot but Dubois, Connor and Provorov(if available at 11), if not then BPA though my thought process would lead me to look at D after picking a couple F's.

no Tkachuk love hey?

i realize he may not get the NHL playing time, but i hate leaving him out there..maybe thats whats making this call difficult for me as i really want MT.

no Willy Nylander is gone, but his brother is available tho..forgot about him

Dubois and Connor both have significantly higher upside than Tkachuk. I would definitely pick him at #11 if he's still available there but not over Dubois or Connor, no way.

I wouldn't consider Alex Nylander with the players who you said are available.

[finnys_fanatsy]

thanks guys...looks like i have some direction.

[Bass56]

You are set:

Matthews
Laine
Puljujarvi
Marner (yours)
Dubois (yours)
Connor (yours)
Tkatchuk
Vessey
Nylander

Then at 10 it will be one from the rest at worst. In that case, I would go with Provorov first, Dvorak 2nd and Keller 3rd.

[Noddes55]

Dubois and Connor, then fingers crossed provorov falls to you at 11. Dvorak and Keller nice consolation prizes tho

[finnys_fanatsy]

..was able to gather up 9th as well, so i have 4,5,6,9,11 now.

i should be able to get at least 5 of the guys i want now...
