    Default 5th Pick in Draft

    Sup everyone,

    So I have the 5th pick in my draft, which is just outside of who I think are the top 4 to go (and the 4 players i would want) - our rookies to confirm, have to have played at least 1 game in the NHL the previous year.

    So, I guess I need some help in identifying the order of who I would take afterwards.

    My assumed top 4 rookies (in no particular order)

    Rossi
    Boldy
    Lundell
    Jarvis
    -------- I would love to grab Rossi or Boldy, but that likely wont happen

    (NEXT FEW ? )

    Podkolzin
    Jack Quinn
    Drury
    Kent Johnson


    Wanted to get some thoughts, thanks all.

    There are also some expensive veterans available, always struggle with first round vet or rookie.

    Tarasenko 7.5m
    Kuznetzov 7.8m
    Eichel 10m
    Duchene 8m
    CHandler Stephenson (2.5m)
    Salary Cap League:
    13 Team, G, A,+/-, W-2, OTL,SO-3
    30 max, 21 weekly active roster (12F, 7D, 2G)
    Note: Our league is 1 year behind in terms of available players and salary. Salary doesn't change for length of Pool contract.

    I think unless you feel like you could win it all this year and really need a productive ELC on your roster, I would be taking Eichel #1 and figuring out my cap situation after that. Bonus is that if Eichel does go early, then you're left with one of the 4 you've identified.
    RHRS, Yahoo, 12-team, Roto
    PQMC, Yahoo, 12-team, Keep 11, H2H
    Taro Tsujimoto Draft League, Fantrax, 6-team, pts-only (*2018 draftees or later only)
    Hanson Bros., Fantrax, 10-Team, Keep 8, weighted scoring
    Black & Blue, Fantrax, 12-Team, Dynasty, H2H weighted
    The Dream Team League, Fantrax, 14-Team, Dynasty, H2H
    On Frozen Ponds, Fantrax 10-Team, Dynasty, Roto

    I also lean towards Eichel at 5. He's got a lot of certainty, excluding injuries. I do like Rossi & Boldy a ton, and if you want a cheaper cap player, that works.

    In your shoes, I'd hope that Stephenson falls to you in round 2.

    Boldy would be my ultimate first choice if that falls to you. Then I would go the expensive veteran route with Eichel if he is still there. If both of them are gone then Seth Jarvis would be my next choice. He could get top line pairings in Carolina alongside Teuvo and Aho.
