    Default Prospect D men

    Hi everyone,

    I have a bunch of prospect/unproven D and can't keep them all. I'm wondering what the consensus is about the following:

    Brannstrom
    B Clarke
    K'Andre Miller
    Dunn

    I have Pionk and Pietrangelo, and will probably keep 1 more D. I'm not competing for a few years so I don't care about production this year, and I'm solely looking at their long-term potential.

    Thanks in advance!

    Long term and short, I'd go with Brannstrom.

    Long term Clarke for me, he is going to run that show in 2 years. A very talented show at that.
    Call me old one more time.

    Great, thanks everyone! I know they're all projects (except for Dunn) so it's good to get independent feedback. I tend to lock in on players and it's hard to take the emotion out of it once I draft them.

    Clarke has the highest upside of the bunch long term for sure.. Dunn is next up as a solid option in Seattle. But, since you're not competing I'd take Clarke.

    I'm not big on Brannstrom, I've never seen it from him, in all the games I've watched of Ottawa. I liked him more before he hit the big leagues.

    As per Miller, he's fine, and his team is going to score a lot of goals. But he won't be pp1 or pp2. He has a good wrister from the point and will probably have some even strength assists.

    so in order considering your situation:

    Clarke
    Dunn
    Andersson (does he count? he's in your signature and I take him over Miller and Brannstrom for sure..) - (maybe even over Dunn if he keeps pp1 in Calgary)

    Miller/Brannstrom

    Long-term, Clarke for me. Rather easily. Swing for the fences... when Clarke hits his stride he should be QBing an offensive monster. Offensively, I think Clarke will make a splash like Drysdale or Heiskanen when he came into the league.
    8-GM / WK-H2H
    Forwards: G=2, A=1, PP/SH= +1, GWG= +2, Shootout G=1, HT= +1
    D-Men/Captain: G=3/A=2
    Goalies: W=3, OTL=1, SO= +2, SV= .10


    Start = 13F, 6D, 2G / Keep 44 (3G)
    Captain: Matthews
    (F): MacKinnon, Pasta, Marner, Rantanen, Malkin, Barkov, M.Tkachuk, W.Nylander, Pettersson, Gaudreau, Laine, Keller, Miller, B.Tkachuk, Stutzle, DeBrincat, L.Raymond, K.Johnson, Cozens, Quinn, Guenther, Kulich, Cooley
