    Default Who do you start a franchise with

    It's the third round of the draft and you have your first 2 picks in place and are looking for a forward to solidify your top 3 for the next few seasons.

    Consider both having already drafted a centre and winger in the previous rounds as well as having drafted 2 wingers.

    Who do you take in a league with these stats:

    Faceoffs Won FOW
    Assists A
    Goals G
    Hits Hit
    Blocks BLK
    Power Play Points PPP
    Shots on Goal SOG
    Time On Ice TOI
    Plus/Minus +/-
    Penalty Minutes PIM





    1 - Mark Scheifele
    2 - Jake Guentzel
    3 - Matthew Tkachuk

    Points: 2 G / 2 A / 1 PPG / 1 PPA / 1 Hat Trick / 1 SHG / 1 SHA / 1 GWG - 3 Goalie Win / 2 Goalie Loss in SO or OT / 5 goalie SO

    Forwards:
    C. McDavid, N. Kucherov, R. O'Reilly, J. Schwartz, J. Toews, J. Huberdeau, T. Toffoli, M. Granlund

    Defense:
    B. Burns, J. Klingberg, R. Josi, J. Slavin

    Tkachuk for me. Scheifele has only been over 50% in the draw once in his career. He's a career 45% FOW, so you're not drafting him as a strength in FOW. Scheifele doesn't hit or block shots much either. I'm personally going with Tkachuk. But I don't think Scheifele would be a poor choice by any means.

    I ask what D and G are available. Usually in the 1st 5 rounds I aim for one stud D one stud G to anchor both positions.

    Scheifele, Tkachuk and Guentzel if those are the only choices, but I'd also want to know the D and G available given that you've already picked up two forwards.

    Hey you are mistaken FaceOffs % with FOW. In this case we are talking about FOW. Scheifele won 803 last season which ranks him 12th in the whole league. Its tempting to pick one of Guentzel and Tkachuk. Both are studs in your league settings but Scheifele is my choice.

    If you've draft two wingers, I go Schief. If you've drafted a W and a C I go Tkachuk.

    I love both Tkachuk and Guentzel with your settings, but Scheifele is the right call here.
