Eichel, lando, Guentzel for me. Safer picks imo.
I have picks 3 and 15 (no 3rd round pick) in our limited keeper. Keepers have been set and there's some tasty forwards to choose from. If you would, please rank a few for me. With a solid D-man and goalie as keepers, I want to go forward with my 1st 2 picks.
Wingers; Hall, Guentzel, Benn, DeBrincat, Landeskog, E. Kane, Giroux, M. Tkachuk, Stone and Huberdeau
Centers; Point, Eichel, Barkov, Couturie, Larkin, Pettersson and Monahan
Hall - injury worries
Point - lots of centers
Guentzel - Banger with 40 goal upside
Benn - worries of regression
DeBrincat - 40 goal upside

Barkov is top for me. He won't get you any PIMS or Hits though. But will succeed in all other categories.
If Tkachuck had a contract. I would rank higher.

So would you rather have a 90 point center with limited peripheral cats over a 75-80 point winger who hits and take a ton of shots? Landeskog, for instance, ended the season ranked 5th in my league. Also, guys like Guentzel (big hitter) and DeBrincat who could push for 40 goals are much harder to find than an assist guy, which I have already. I drafted well rounded guys last year and lost in the 1st round despite guys like Landeskog and E. Kane. Do I go points 1st and then try to get the bangers later??

I think I would be looking at guys who are going to get points.
Barkov had 35 goals, 61 assists and 96 points. Also had 61 blocked shots. I believe and think these goal and points total are likely to be close on new career norms for him.
A nice mix of goals, points, hits and PIMS could look at Couturier.
Guentzel is reliant on Crosby for most of his production. Though he will provide you hits and PIMS all on his own.
Other guys I ranked ahead of him. Are there respective lines offensive driver or are quite capable of being the offensive driver.
Barkov
Eichel
Point
Hall
Pettersson
Larkin
I may be the minority here, but I think Barkov has a bit of a regression. Hate going for a guy who puts up a career year. I think Eichel might be the guy to go after, he still has another level.
