if there are ADVANCED scoring stats.. likely there is no usual .. always helps to list - especially if they're advanced

[hockeyrobot]

Yep very hard to know without specifics of your roster as well.

how many do you start at each position? how many teams in your league?

Yikes... can you bundle all three of them into the 1st overall? your team needs help. I hope this is 20+ teams. Do you have a 30+pt dman on your roster? Stempniak, Eaves, Spezza, Brodziak, Lindberg... man... you need to invest some time and makes some deals!

I take Dahlin in most situations, but you need a D that sees at least :30PP time a game... so to me, it becomes an absolute no brainer to take Dahlin

[Davesch1959]

30 team league

this is expansion draft Vegas team that I inherited.

4-5 C
7-8 W
6-7D

D is your most pressing need. Dahlin all day

[Bstbullies]

I'm probably gonna be an outsider on this but I would go Svechnikov. If g,a,ppp scoring was weighted at all towards D I'd do Dahlin. Even with your D being horrendous I think Svech will give your team the biggest boost. If you could trade down to two or 3 and take whoevers left of the 3 while gaining a decent asset, that could be a good option as well.

[Hunter9]

Dahlin. Your D is craving a stud.

and I do have a pile of draft picks that should do a lot for securing some forward help, which is always easier to get right.

Dahlin. Some have him as a generational D man. But must have him as 'just' an elite, franchise, build your team around, once in a decade D man. So there's that.

I would try bundling picks to try and move up in the draft a couple times - see if you can get another 1st/higher first or a couple more 2nd rounders.

[Bazz]

Ask yourself this question, what's harder to come by in your league. A franchise dman or a franchise winger.

[Davesch1959]

I picked Dahlin.

Thanks for your replies.
