    Default 9th Pick Overall - Need Prospect Advice

    Because this is a salary cap league and because I spent almost every dime I have, only 35k from the ceiling, I don’t need someone to help me this year. That being said I want the best that can help me next year and beyond, even if I can’t afford him to play this year.

    By this point here is what may be available, but doubtful:
    Sikura, Zadina, B Tkachuk

    Most likely I am picking from these guys:
    Thomas, Terry, Boqvist, Valimaki, Niku, Vesalainen, Whalstrom, Kravtsov.

    If anyone other than Sikura from the first group is available I will take him. Sikura is on the final year so it gives me little salary control for the future.

    Out of the second group, who stand out? Who would be your top 3?
    Thanks for the help.

    I am a little surprised that you have Kravtsov as the top of the group. Is it because he is going to be the best long term? I know NYR reached to get him, but I don’t know enough to put him at the top of the group. Interesting.

    I am intrigued by Wahlstrom’s potential.

    So a funny thing happened on the way to my draft. Thomas, wahlstrom and Hughes went right before me at 9th.

    Then I totally rethought my goal for this year. Am I in need of a prospect for next year and beyond? Sure. But more crucial I want to win this year. So instead of someone in this list I swing hard for the fences.
    I drafted Rattie. Here?s hoping he sticks with McDavid. I had no salary left to spend so he can actually be used by me this year. All the rest would have had to sit on the bench.

    The question is: will it pay off?

    A touch risky as I never like to bet big on players because of who they play with. However, Rattie seems to be the biggest lotto winner in the league, for now. I'm still honestly not a huge fan of this.

    As for Kravstov, I think he is going to have a huge D+1 year. He oozes upside.
