I actually like those picks. Shipachyov is a good one
Beacause I cant do anything without posting to the dobber forums litmus test- I present for your approval (or lack thereof)- my draft in my 10 year keeper (3 titles) but coming off two re-building years. Competing now- scoring is g- 4, a- 3, sog and pim 0.5, special team point +1. Goalies: Win 10, So +5, save 0.25, Goal against -3.
Rebuild year- so had 3 1sts, 2 2nds, and a 5th...
7th overall- James Neal- ****ing work went long (waaay long) and I didnt bother setting an autodraft. I hate this pick only cause I missed Zibanejad. In a competing year a 50 point (pace) winger with 220+ sogs is a beast in this format.
11th overall- Brock Boeser- Tbh I think I might have skipped Ziba for Boeser anyways- having him and Keller should be pretty fun this year. He looks like a sog heavy producer too. Glad I logged in on time!
12th overall- Tryson Barrie- I had actually planned on taking Charlie Mac. I second guessed myself because I have way too many keepers already and we dont count plus/minus so Barrie projects pretty solidly. All in all it feels like a misstep- too many solid keepers is a good problem to have not a bad one- and I could see them producing at a similar even in a one year window.
25th- Vadim Shipachyov- Dadonov went way early so i decided to grab him. I hovered on DeBrincat- but Im staying competetive this year and Ive already got keller and bioeser. DeBrincat literally went next pick- no joke.
28th- Scott Darling- No more picks til the 5th Im taking a goalie. I really struggled here. I LOVE Raanta- but Darling was sitting there and seems to have more hype. We'll see- feel like it was a coin toss- I took the popular pick here.
90th overall- Derick Brassard- I LOVE this pick. He slipped and slipped and slipped- and might not even miss much time. Its a throw away pick anyways. If Hartnell, Jokinen, Gourde, or some other unheralded h=guy (Lindblom) emerge- hes an easy enough drop. If he can get back to even 50ish points with 180 sogs- hes well above the waiver wire.
