Top 5 forwards in a points only league

[DocMcPuffin]

Hey all, I know it's still early and lots can change before the actual draft, but curious to see who your top 5 forwards would be at this time in a points only league. Obviously the 1st two are a given. I've got the 5th overall pick (as per our current league standings, our draft hasn't happened yet so I could end up higher.) Basically from 3-5, who do you think could be a huge point contributor?

At #5 in a one year points only I’d be looking to target Burns. That’s on the assumption that you differentiate positions though. If he’s gone I’d be looking at either Crosby or MacKinnon.

*EDIT* sorry just noticed the word “forwards” in the subject line. I’d probably be looking at someone like Kane/Draisatl as my next forward.

Can you wait until after the NHL draft and see if anyone sticks out in terms of fit?

I think for points only after the top two my next three are probably Krebs, Caufield, Zegras. I like Turcotte, Each, Cozens, and Byram more as actual players, and in multi-cat leagues (especially with FOWs) the rankings muddy up again, but for points only those are my three guys.

We did a fantasy ranking at DobberProspects back in February, and hopefully we'll do one more before the draft. https://dobberprospects.com/2019-nhl...tasy-rankings/

Definitely can wait as we don't do our actual draft until October. Just good to see what people's opinions are. I've also purchased the guide and pretty excited to download it. I was looking at some rankings and not many had Caufield rated inside the top 10 but despite his size, lots said he could be the best pure goal scorer in the draft. So you don't think I'd be crazy drafting him at 5 if that's where I land?
