[Eskimo Brother]

I'm going to be so sad watching 22 other players go by after this, but for now, I have the best team

Connor McDavid.

[DusterDave]

Alex Ovechkin.

[finnys_fanatsy]

I never thought 3rd would be so tough to pick...but I can't have em all

Gotta go Sid....

[Pengwin7]

With the 4th pick in the roto draft, Pengwin's Pengwins select...
F - Nikita Kucherov (TB).

In my own roto ranker from 2017-2018, Kucherov finished #1 in this style of league last year.
He simply checks all the main offensive boxes and nothing about his past few seasons suggests that he can't maintain what he did last year.
The key thing one should try to get out of a 1st round pick... is... solid 1st round stats. Don't blow it. Don't have the injured player - if possible.

Nikita could not attend as he is at a wedding.


FWIW - McDavid, Ovechkin, Crosby would be my top three in this format, as well.

PM to GinFizz for Pick#5.

[GinFizz]

1-5 #John Taveras

Who knows??? Im willing to gamble on JT in a new environment with a way better supporting cast. UP:94 pts Down:81pts

Id like to hear where everyone else had JT. PM to Stuntman sent

[StuntMan12]

With the 6th overall pick, StuntMan would like to select, from the Colorado Avalanche of the National Hockey League ...

Nathan MacKinnon



In my opinion, MacKinnon has the best shot at winning the 2018/19 Art Ross outside of Connor McDavid. MacKinnon was on pace for 107 points last year but missed 8 games due to injury. If I had the 2nd overall pick, this guy would have been my choice as well. He is a threat for 40 goals, 100 points, and 300 shots in a full season.

[PenguinHunter]

With the #7th overall pick... PenguinHunter selects from the Dallas Stars... Tyler Seguin.

Now... this is a difficult position to pick at..

Entering his prime age 26 season... I think this is the year that Seguin soars to 100+ points. And even if he does not I am getting 75-80 points with 300+ shots, and some cross-category coverage.

I know I surpassed on some other talents and reached a bit for Seguin here, but I have reasons for surpassing those other guys that I am not willing to comment on right now.

[The Comish]

Sorry for the delay guys, work doesn't allow for me to post in the forums.

I'll take F-Evgeni Malkin PIT

I'm here all night now!

[Zorro]

1.9 Brad Marchand LW BOS

[SensArmy93]

1.10 - LW Jamie Benn - DAL

With his wingman Seguin in a contract year, I'm hoping he'll pull Benn along for the ride and the power forward will set a career-high in points while continuing with his great category coverage.
