    Default Who do I pick first?

    I have the 2nd. overall pick in the upcoming draft. Here are the notables who will for SURE be available:


    • Burns (I'm 90% sure he'll be drafted 1st overall. I'm in a league with a bunch of Sharks fans)
    • Karlsson
    • Crosby
    • Malkin
    • Price
    • P. Kane
    • Ovechkin


    Other notables: Stamkos, Tarasenko, Seguin, Pavelski, Backstrom, Byfuglien, Letang, Weber


    At first I thought picking Karlsson was a no brainer but now I'm having second thoughts. One, his injury may delay him a little bit and two, I'm entering the season with 3 pretty solid dman as it is. Where I really lack is in goaltending and centers and we all know there is a plethora of those to chose from. But when you have a guy like Crosby on the board it's hard to imagine passing him up. I've also been thinking of signing Guentz and if I picked Crosby they might make a pretty solid 1-2 punch. Thoughts on that? Also, the LW position is the most shallow position in our league.

    This is a head scratcher for me fellas. Any advice is appreciated!

    Crosby for me... unfortunately my opinion is biased since I own him but he's still the best player in the world! McDavid will probably outoint him again but Crosby will beat him in most other cats.

    I'd also be inclined to go for Karlsson but considering you already have 3 Ds as keepers and no centres, I'll favour Sid here.

    Nothing is certain but guys like Bobs, Murray, Quick, Duby, Lundy, Rask, Allen, and Talbot may be available. Jones and Holtby are off the board. I won't know till mid September who is signed.

    So the way our league works is that we all started with (3) - 1 year contracts, (2) 2 year contracts, and (1) rookie contract (good for 3 years). With the 2-year contracts players who make no more than 5.5 mil can be signed. Players can only be signed up to 2 contracts, so take a guy like Benn who I was able to sign for 2 years, I get to sign him for one more year with a 1 year contract. Same goes for Kucherov. Both are guys who I was able to sign before their big new contracts. Guys like Crosby, Price, Karlsson, etc. could only be signed (up to) two, 1-year contracts which are now expired, therefore, they have to go back into this seasons draft. It's the best draft we've had in 2 years.
