    Default Upcoming Draft Suggestions?

    Happy New year All

    I have a H/H keeper draft fast approaching. I have picks 3,5,6,15 in the first two rounds.

    I know Laf is going #1 then he says Stutzle at #2, at #4 i believe he is after a goalie.

    So who should I be targeting with my picks?

    Im looking at guys like; Sorkin, Kirill, Zegras, Samsonov, R Thomas, Denisenko, Olofsson, Byfield (im not totally sold on him) Brady Tk.

    Also open to any suggestions off the board.

    Thanks in advance.

    League info;
    G, A, Pt,+/-,PPP, GWG, Hit, Blk, FW W, GAA, SV%, SO

    Keepers;
    Crosby, Mcdavid, Panarin, Pasta, Malkin, Maker, Petro, Binnington, Price, Hart.

    We also get two prospect spots where we can store two kids untill they are 20.

    Cheers All

    Would be good to get a larger list of players - but Tkachuk is the easy choice here for me. As he is taking a G (and you really do not need one unless you take Samsonov and then trade a G post draft), you should focus in on the best 2 players. With Crosby and Malkin your team is built to win now so would likely stick to proven players and avoid taking risks on prospects and possibly needing to wait for them to develop.

    If Tkachuk is available there may be some other interesting players that you may not have mentioned. How many teams in your league as this also helps to understand how many total players will be kept.

    Well you dont need another goalie. No SOG takes away some of BTkachuk's value. I'd probably go with Kaprizov here.

    I will say this though. There's going to be a lot of people passing on Byfield because of the WJC, and I expect in 3-4 years, there's going to be a lot of people kicking themselves in the arse for doing that. I dont have a crystal ball by any means, just an assumption on my part. If you dont get to see him regularly, and only are basing your judgments on the WJC, you're really missing out on all the information. Just sayin'.

    I was thinking of trying to trade off one of my goalies i have now for he 3rd overall pick, as the goalie FA draft is pretty deep this year. Goalies available; Samsonov, Both Col G's, Both CBJ G's, Kuemper, Soros, Markstrom, both Dal G's. to name a few.

    Other notable players available; B. Tkachuk. Gallagher, March, Lee, Yamamoto, Vrana, Barrie, Jones, Kling, Fiala, Hischier and down the list.

    We have 10 teams in the pool.

    I am in a similar boat. The GM picking 2nd overall after our 18 keepers wants my Hellebuyck for the pick. It sounds crazy but I’m considering it and only because I’m high on Zegras, Kirill and Sorokin. I don’t even know who I’d take with this risky / reckless maneuver.

    I have read a bunch on Byfield, and he isn't really rated that high on a handful of prospect depth charts. I'm sure he'll be real good, but is he worth just stashing away for 3 years good?

    Is Byram more highly touted than Byfield?

    Not in most things I have read, but it would depend on how important D are in your pool. I Byram is a stud, but he is going to be behind Makar for a bit which could slow him down. Although he is available in my draft as well.

    I want Tkachuk in that format. +/- won't be great, but he's a hit machine, and scores decently. He's likely a future keeper for you.

    I'd gladly deal a goalie for a high pick, and then take a non-goalie in your shoes. You have Hart/Price/Binnington, and I'd want to keep Hart/Price if possible.
