If he went behind Mathews and Laine last year, I think he would go behind only Dahlen here.
I'm just wondering where would Puljujarvi go if teams could still select him in this year's draft.
Would he go before Zadina or much farther back?
Thank you
If he went behind Mathews and Laine last year, I think he would go behind only Dahlen here.
The excitement on Puljujarvi was high in his draft year. He'd still be a top five pick without question if he was getting drafted this year.

Not sure if I made myself clear, let's say someone's offering Puljujarvi right now for the 2018 3rd rank pick Zadina... what's the choice?
Keep the pick. I'm not completely sold on Puljujarvi. Personally, I like Dahlin, Zadina, Svechnikov and Wahlstrom all more than him - maybe even Hughes. The Puljujarvi hype train was completely off the rails - some "experts" were even saying there wasn't much of a dip between him and Laine.
I'd keep the pick. I think JP will become a real good player but I think the top 3 this year will turn out better.

I think Puljujarvi and Zadina are very close to being equal level prospects, so it comes down to personal preference. Edmonton has done a terrible job with Puljujarvi's development, though. But difficult to say without knowing where Zadina ends up going. Maybe he ends up going to Edmonton and they manage to ruin his development as well.
My point being, if we are excited about this years draft class, we were just as excited about Puljujarvi when he came in. We have no idea how any of them will turn out. Sure this years class all look fantastic in their respective leagues currently, but the NHL is a different animal and it's clear there's a learning curve and it can happen to any of the top picks in this years draft too.

I would only take Dahlen, Svechnikov or possibly Tolvanen over Puljaarvi I think. Tolvanen is close, but I'm not sure. Zadina I would put at the end this group, after JP and Tolv. I would consider Elias Petterson if I needed a Center more than a Winger. That's if Elias Petterson will be in your fantasy draft. I know he's not in Yahoo yet, so he will be in mine. Tolvanen is in Yahoo, so he won't be in my draft, but I think he will be in some peoples leagues. I know he and Petterson aren't 2018 prospects, but they are still eligible for some fantasy drafts. That's about it IMO. I think Whalstrom is a tier below most of these guys.
People talk about some players being hyped and not buying into them. It seems to me that nearly EVERY top prospect is hyped coming out of the NHL draft and going in to Fantasy/Dynasty drafts. I've heard some people say Tolvanen for instance is so hyped up they don't believe. But then when Svechnikov is mentioned, his talent is "all real" with no hype concerns. But I would say as good as Svechnikov is, and even Dahlen, they still are riding on "hype" to whatever extent. Any of them can bust surely.
But JP was and is on the highest level of prospect. And yea, I think it's too soon to put these newer guys all ahead of him. He's still on a team with McD.
