MacKinnon first. Hoping some of the top D and some less sexy but solid top line guys are there...Theodore, Makar, Aho Svechnikov, Teuvo, Barkov, Hubredeau etc.
In a playoff pool where you would need to draft one skater (no goalies) from each playoff team;
1 point per goal
1 point per assist
16 rounds in snake format.
12 poolies.
Who would you take first overall?
Secondary question; picking 1st overall also means you don't pick again until picks 24 and 25.
So with no guarantees, who are you hoping might still be around to select?
Thanks!

I think the Cost above replacement of McDavid at #1 overall is the best. If you don't get McDavid or Draisaitl you could get stuck with some really bad options.
If you don't get McDavid, you could still end up with Burakovsky, Kadri, Girard... etc.
As for the second round/third round picks
I am hoping that some of the top guys from Pittsburgh, Boston, or Carolina are available. Letang, Malkin, Svechnikov, Teravainen. Bergeron, Hall.
In a draft like this it all depends on how the other people strategize/
you take Mcdavid first...even if he gets bounced in the 1st he could still end up with the most points. (7 games*3per = 21points!!)

Mmm....McDavid, Mackinnon or Matthews, good luck
Call me old one more time.

McDavid averaged 1.89 pts (thus far). If he gets 7 games that’s 14 pts. If he gets 14 (seems unlikely) games that’s 28 pts. Not sure where the 3 ppg comes from. MacKinnon was at 1.35 pts per game this year. If he gets 20 games that’s 27 pts. McDavid is certainly good but his team is not the Colorado Avalanche. My guess is McDavid ends up with about 20 pts and Mackinnon with about 30.

Just in case anyone was interested how it went down:
1. McDavid
2. Draisaitl
3. Matthews
4. Rantenen
5. MacKinnon
6. Marner
7. Marchand
8. Stone
9. Point
10. Crosby
11. Kucherov
12. Ovechkin
The 2nd question was who might still be available at pick's 24 and 25.
24. Hedman
25. A. Svechnikov
my next two after that;
47. Hall
48. Barzal
thanks for the input/advice!

It'll be fun to look back at those top 10 picks when it's all said and done. Nice grabs at 24 and 25 for sure. Glad to see Svech was there as i guessed he might be.

So far I’m guessing the guys who picked at 4 and 5 are doing ok...
