    Default Help me in my Rookie Draft Please

    Hey guys, we are finishing up our veteran draft and about to being our 10 round rookie draft.

    This is a 20 team dynasty league, I have the 5th pick in this rookie draft.

    Star - 2

    I'm not going to go through my full roster, but my two goalies are Holtby and Grubauer.

    In a deep 20 team league like this, would it be a bad decision to take Demko with my 5th overall rookie pick?

    A "rookie" is considered anybody with less than 26 games played.

    I am assuming Dahlen, Svechnikov, Pettersson and Mittelstadt will be taken.

    With my 5th overall pick, should i be looking at guys like Tolvanen, Borgstrom, Necas, Zadina, or, should I solidify my goaltending for the foreseeable future and take Demko?

    Thanks for any input you have!

    No, this would not be a bad decision at all. Unless there's a strong chance Demko will sit there until pick 25... Curious, if Demko is there, what about Samsonov/Hart?

    I'm a Flyers fan and love Hart and would love to have him. However, there was 5 goalies taken in the first round of the veterans draft so I think league members value goalies highly, as they should in a 20 team league.

    So I don't think any of the top goalie prospects will be there when I pick again.

    My only thinking behind Demko is he has a pretty clear path to the net for an improving Vancouver team and he seems almost NHL ready. Hart is only 20 and I don't think plays for 2 more years at least, and even then might not be full time.

    If people think him or Samsonov are clearly the best goalie prospect I would consider them as well though. I have a young team so I can wait. Especially because Holtby is only 28 and Grubauer is 26.

    Demko arrives this year. I think by Jan he's splitting time, then by end of year he's the #1 - ala Vasil/Murray. Demko's path is pretty secure there's no doubt about that. Hart's is as well... no one is considering anyone else as a long term solution in Philly, but yeah a bit further out - mind you, if he puts up elite numbers in the AHL thus season - he could be knocking in 12mths.

    I assume that this is a snaking draft and your next pick wouldn't be until around #35. So Demko may not be available. Likely, Samsonov and Hart as well. I would still focus on a forward with my 5th overall. Goalies are very difficult to predict and I would still look at those three as boom/bust goalies. I would focus on other prospect goalies with the #35/45 picks, such as Husso, Gustavsson, Parsons, and DiPierto.

    Another thought, and I'm not sure if this is possible in your league. If you are set on drafting a goalie with your first pick, you may want to consider trading down into the 10-15th overall range. You might be able to get a 1st and 2nd round pick in exchange for your 1st and 4th round picks (an example, maybe more depending on managers in your league).

    I think Demko is still a year away from regular duty, barring injuries of course, but I don't think it would be a bad draft pick at 5th overall at all.

    I think Tolvanen would be better. Any chance of getting Demko later.

    McDavid/Necas/ Kucherov/Bjorkstrand/Rust/Nugent Hopkins/Cirelli/Zegras/- Letang/Morrissey/Dahlin - Swayman/Saros/Skinner

    Prospects include:
    McTavish/Clarke/Bordeleau
    Dumais/Korchinski/Hutson

    Don't worry I'm not going to say anything more than I have to. If that.

    I would be high on Tolvanen and Zadina depending on how long you can keep them for and how hard it is to get rookies if they dont make the big club in their draft year. Assuming that guys like Tolvanen, Petterson and Mittlestadt are available then I would probably lean towards Tolvanen and hope a stud rookie goalie is available next round
