Zib provides excellent value in leagues like yours but 5th...that is pushing it for me. I Prefer to draft Matthews or Eichel here specially that i dont see any mention of Salary Cap here. But he is top 10 imo.
So I have the 5th overall pick in a new keeper league (3C,5W,3D,3U,2G +5 Bench Spots) and could use some opinions for who to take with the pick. I'm assuming the top 4 will be in no particular order McDavid, Draisatl, Pastrnak and MacKinnon. If one of them falls to me, that's who I will pick. The stats favour goal scorers so I'm thinking Matthews but I have a strong urge to draft Zibanejad as I feel this is the year he will breakout as a true superstar, if he's not there already. NYR is an up and coming powerhouse and with Lafrenniere joining the sky is the limit. Below are the scoring stats:
· Goals (3)
. Overtime Goals (1)
. Primary Assist (2.5)
. Secondary Assist (1.5)
· Short-Handed Points (1)
· Shots on Goal (0.5)
. Corsi +/- (0.1)
. Takeaways (0.5)
. Hits (0.3)
. Blocks (0.25) * Defense Only
. Fights (2)
. Hat Tricks (1.5)
. Shootout Goals (0.25)
Thoughts? Will rep where possible.

Eichel would be my pick. Zibs may actually fall to your second round pick. Eichel won't fall out of the top 10.

Good value player but not worthy of 5th overall. Take Matthews Eichel or Petterson at 5.

Zibanejad may be a good pick here, but I feel there is a chance he slips a bit and you might be able to sneakily grab him with your second pick. Also, centers are usually easier to come by, so wingers like Marchand and Kucherov (he'd by my pick) would be worth considering. If you lose out on Zibanejad when your second pick comes around, there are LOTS of good centers you could take instead: Barkov, Aho, Eichel, Matthews, Point, Pettersson...I'd prefer to have one of those and Kucherov than Zibanejad and whatever winger you'd get with your second pick.

Matthews, then Eichel... Ziba somewhere down the line.
IMO.

"Cleavage is like the sun. You can look, but dont stare.. Unless you're wearing sunglasses."
No mention of Kucherov? This is a keeper (how many?) league, not dynasty - - and with 2.5 points for primary assists, he could be worth more love than you’re giving him, and for the next 3-4 years. Be honest, how many new leagues LAST 6-8 years?

Age is critical in new keepers.
27 Kucherov
23 Eichel
22 Matthews
For dynamic players, you get "prime" stats up until about age 30, dependably.
Then... it's a crapshoot.
Some players, like Ovechkin - keep giving great years.
Some players, like Gaborik or Tarasenko - get injured.
Time is a cruel beast.
Give me the youth here... and Matthews is a good one.
I've been pumping him as a #2/#3/#4 pick in dynasties for a while (behind only McDavid and, perhaps, MacKinnon... and maybe Kucherov a year or two ago).
If you are a Leafs fan then take Matthews, if not then go with Eichel - as others state you won't go wrong either way. I would go with Eichel.
See if the # 6 pick is a leaf fan maybe you can get a swap of picks and maybe get a 5th for your 6th. These drafts aren't won by top picks it is the mid to end pick that out perform their draft position so if you can move up a few positions here and there you benefit by getting higher picks.
