Re: Rank These Top Players Please - REP Given! Kuch, Petey, Celebrini, etc.
Not sure the criteria on which you created this list, just curious, but anyway its of no matter. IMO the 5 year and 7 year keeper limit is not a big deal here, I think we focus on a 3 - 4 year window and as things constantly change and evoolve we go from there. So, to answer your questions:
I prefer EP40 to Kuch on age and injury history and on the basis that while the NUcks improve as does Pettersson, the Bolts start fade as does Kuch.
I'm not overreaching for Celebrini. Kids looking awesome, but I personally don't think he is quite at the same level of a McDavid or a Bedard. I'm not passing on Kuch, EP40, Pasta, Bouchard, Dobson or guys like that to draft him. I'd love to land him, if he potentially fell to you with that 4th or 5th first round pick then I would be very tempted to jump on him. This is particularly true if your team is strong enough to allow you to wait a year or two on him before he takes off big time. If you need a high probability producer, F or D with those picks, well Celebrini is a risky pick.
I think you are a bit low on Josi. Again I'm not sure how your list was built but he has more value than Hyman for sure and could be right there with MT and Fiala. That said, he's ancient and most poolies think a guy approaching 30 is done so Josi might slip in your draft ... just sayin'.
Good Luck!
