Available D in the draft

Trouba
Gost
Makar
Werenski
Doughty
Pieterangelo
Gustafsson
Weber


My thoughts,
i've got Trouba and Makar as top keeper potential will get around 50pts this year , 50+ for next 5 seasons
Werenski and Gost as top bounce back - could be anywhere from 40 to 60 pts dmen
Doughty and Weber as top short term - 50 pt dmen
Gustafsson , im just really not sure about this guy. Would be tough to take him ahead of the guys listed above


Thanks in advance

Don't expect Ghost to bounce back to much in that system. And Gustafsson almost scored at a P/G pace the 2nd half of last year so don't sleep on him. You're league doesn't count blocked shots?

Personally if you're thinking ahead for keepers:

Gustafsson
Trouba
Makar
Doughty
Pieterangelo
Ghost
Werenski
Weber - injuries at that age scare me

If you aren't necessarily needing D keepers and need a one year guy, Doughty is still a good option.

Thanks , my current D keepers are Dahlin and Barrie
i have the 11th overall pick, if i reach on one of these guys its insurance to Barrie and if both hit (Barrie and 11th pick) i've got a great asset to deal

You're in pretty good shape with D already at least

for sure, top fwds available
Hughes, Kakko, Giroux, Lindholm, Boeser, Kuz, Stone, Voracek (with Martin Jones) gets me to my current top 11 rank
Where do i choose one of the available D over the available fwds above.....Lindholm/Boeser? Stone/Voracek?

I'll differ from both of your lists a little:

Gus
Trouba
Makar/Weber (Production more now or later, and more hits from Weber now)
Doughty
Werenski
Ghost
Pietrangelo

It's your team, we're just giving our opinion, doesn't mean it's right

If I were drafting right behind you... I'd be so stoked. I'd swipe Gus as fast as I could.
There's no one else in Chicago. no one. Not for 2+ years does Gus had an offensive threat coming.
Not to mention quarter over quarter he only got stronger and stronger.
Not just points, but SOG, HIT BLOCK rates per game all increased

Gus
Trouba - Weber
Doughty
Ghost
Werenski
Pietrangelo
Makar

Weber has only had one major injury stint in his career. ONE. he's not a known injury risk. The second surgery was only discovered when fixing the first. Makes one wonder if his last couple seasons were hindered due to that? He's a MC stud.
Doughty is all but a 50+pt lock. I give him an edge over Ghost for periphs.

I think the hype on Makar as a rookie is a bit overblown. I love the kid and don't think he'll disappoint, BUT...
I don't see a 50pt rookie season from him. 40-45 will be a massive season and all owners should be stoked if he hits it.

Boqvist is coming, maybe not this year but certainly next.
