Raymond vs. 2021 Draft Class.
I have first pick in my league’s prospect draft. I’ve had an offer of Lucas Raymond in exchange for the guy I pick first overall in the prospect draft. I’d just pick whoever he wanted and flip him for Raymond. Thoughts on Raymond’s upside and future role in Detroit?
12 teams. Keep 9 any position.
7 prospects. D scoring 3.75 for goal, 2.75 for assist. Forwards 3.5 for goal, 2.5 for assist. 0.5 for hits and blocks. Goalie scoring -1.5 GA, 0.3 for save, 2 points for win and extra 2 for shutout.
Pre Draft
F: Keller, Zegras, Suzuki, Caufield, Cozens
D: Drysdale, Guhle, Perunovich
G:
IR:
Prospects: W. Johnston, K. Johnson, Guenther, Morrow, Mateychuk

Re: Raymond vs. 2021 Draft Class.
Honestly, I would take several of the 2020 NHL Draft's top 10 picks over any player in this year's draft....
Only guys I may not take over the 2021 Draft class is Sanderson, Quinn, and Holtz.

Re: Raymond vs. 2021 Draft Class.
I'm just not sold on Holtz, sorry guys. I like Powers too much. Like Sanderson, but yeah, I prefer Powers. His size and the eye-test just has me liking him more.
Quinn was taken too early.

Re: Raymond vs. 2021 Draft Class.
Agreed
I picked him 4th last year and would not take the #1 pick for him.

Another vote for this
Re: Raymond vs. 2021 Draft Class.
Crazy how much people look down on this draft year. Could this be another 1996 or 1999 minus the Sedin twins? People should look at those draft years. WOOF!
It's funny how this draft looks like some of the worst and last year's draft is up there with the 1979, 2003, and 2015 Drafts.

Re: Raymond vs. 2021 Draft Class.
It's not so much that people look down on this draft, it's because D heavy drafts like this one usually aren't great for fantasy hockey teams because D usually take longer to develop. I'm sure there will be lots of very good NHL assets come out if this draft, but for fantasy purposes, not as good or it will take longer to find out.
Personally, I'd have no issues trading that 1st overall for Lucas Raymond.

Re: Raymond vs. 2021 Draft Class.
Give me Raymond. Woohoo I never pick Wings on here
Re: Raymond vs. 2021 Draft Class.
Unless you are desperate for a prospect D, then absolutely, Raymond is a better option than this years crop of forwards IMO.

Re: Raymond vs. 2021 Draft Class.
I agree w/others.
The top of this 2021 draft class seems like maybe 70-80pt range forwards... in their prime.
And that's where I'd peg Raymond - who fits in very nicely with a DET core that will emerge into their primes together.
Raymond for me as well.
