And welcome to the forums!

I like this ordering. I understand a switch between Malkin and Tavares, but Malkin's best year is markedly better than Tavares' so I'd pick Malkin and hope for health.

appreciate the reply's and glad i asked because I figured point would be ranked 3rd or 4th. there best years were
stamkos 3.1 fpts per game
malkin 3.3
point 2.9
tavares 2.8

I had those 4 at the top of my draft list but just want to make sure i'm not missing anyone. Hall is available, also there was 8 goalies in the top 20 last year. available notable goalies are: Jarry, Samsonov, Markstrom, Saros, Bobrovsky, blackwood, Varly, Demko, Khudobin. should I consider Hall or any of these goalies over the original 4 skaters? Thanks

Since you don't have C as a slot I don't know if I'd have Hall in that mix. He's had some consistency issues in the past couple of years partly due to poor teammates and his own injury battles. He's not overly far behind, but yeah he's a little bit below.

I wouldn't select Hall or a goalie with the 4th overall. The 4 players you've listed are studs. My order:

Point
Malkin
Tavares
Stamkos

Definitely Point....he came off a pretty serious surgery early in the year. Just took a lot of time to heal and get up to par. We saw his coming out party during the playoffs and I think he'll only get better.

Point
Tavares
Malkin
Stamkos (his injury just doesn't seem to be healing right)

Draft is tomorrow afternoon, will post the first round results. Guy picking first also has 2nd pick and is taking point and a goalie. I’m leaning Malkin but Tavares tempting too
