    Default 4th overall dilemma

    I own the 4th overall pick in the entry draft. I really want Zadina or Wahlstrom. If Zadina goes 3rd I feel like I could trade down and still get Wahlstrom. Would you take a risk and move down to the 7th spot to get a minor upgrade and still get Wahlstrom. Or should I just draft him at 4?

    I'm in a very unusual spot and have picks 2-4, 7, 9, 11 in my upcoming draft and I've had Wahlstrom slated for that 4th spot for months.
    I know for a fact that if I tried to wait until 7, he'd definitely be gone at 6 if not 5.

    Any idea what the owners at 5-6 are looking at? Or is there maybe a premium for centers or d-men that may prevent someone from taking Wahlstrom at 5-6?

    The owner I would trade with who would pick 4th will take Tkachuk for sure. Owner at 5 I don't know. Owner at 6 a D man almost guarenteed

    I think it might come down to how badly you want Wahlstrom. If he's 100% the pick you want, then you have to think about him at 4.
    The other side of that depends on the return for trading down. If the return is worth trading the pick and potentially losing Wahlstrom then may have to consider that.
    It sounds like the owner at 5 is the wild card here...and then hopefully 4,6 don't change their minds.

    I just drafted at 4th and took Wahlstrom. If you want Wahlstrom I would take him.

    If you're interested in the +, move back, but can't be upset if Wahlstrom goes. I wouldn't be surprised if someone else took him before 7.

    You're taking a huge risk hoping Whalstrom falls. What would be your plan if he doesn't fall? Fantasy draft results are gonna start pouring in soon and I'd be shocked if Whalstrom wasn't going 4 in most of them.

    If Wahlstrom didn't fall I would have to take Quinn Hughes or Evan Bouchard. Previous trade offer on table to move down was buchnevich, kyrou and very low 1st round pick next year. For my Zucarello and Gaudette

    I wouldn't take a minor upgrade and risk losing Whalstrom. Im very high on a volume shooter with an elite shot in a good place to utilize it. As good as Hughes is and his fit in Vancouver I just don't think it's a good enough hedge on your bet unless the minor upgrade was above decent. As for the Buch offer, I'd consider it. If Buch even equals Zuccs output (which I think is very possible) then you win this trade. Kyrou+late 1st> Gaudette. It's not an insta yes but considerable. .

    Our draft started this morning, and Wahlstrom went 4th. And that doesn't surprise me at all, especially with his landing spot.

    If you will be really disappointed if Wahlstrom is not there at 7th, then I'd just take him at 4th and not worry about getting a small extra. Get the player your heart is set on would be my advice.

    I also just took Wahlstrom 4th overall.

    He is an elite shooter, and lining up next to JT or Barzal is too tempting.

    I hear you, bud. I've got the 2nd overall pick (more than likely as we have yet to do the draft, so could be the 1st overall,) and I am torn on Wahlstrom. If I pick 2nd and Svechnikov is gone, I considered Wahlstrom over Dahlin and Zadina. General consensus was that I should take Zadina as D men aren't valued as high in our pool. I like Zadina and Dahlin will be special but I just can't get Wahlstrom out of my head. I'm considering trading that pick for the possible 4th overall and the 14th overall pick but have to wait and see where I land in the draft 1st.

    I took Tkachuk 4th overall in one of my drafts (multicat league) and Wahlstrom went 5th. I don't think taking him 4th is a reach if hes the guy you want. I do prefer Tkachuk over Wahlstrom for my league setup though.

    Draft who you want, especially if it's close to the range of picks you think he will go. Example: My 16 team one started last night the guy with pick 7 was shopping it, I owning picks 9/13 and wanting Robert Thomas really bad felt a need to move 13/25/33 for pick 7 so someone wouldn't take my guy. I made the deal, I took Thomas and today several personal messages came in saying nice move and they were trying to do the same to take Thomas. Get who you want.

    I also just took Wahlstrom at 4th over Tkachuk and I have hits and blocks in my league. I did it bc we also count SOG and goal scores usually have more value in my league eventhough we don't give extra points to goals. the landing spot on the island was too tempting. I got a few messages from people picking after me saying damn I was hoping he would fall. so don't expect him to be there at 7th.
