Zellweger or 5th Overall

[Wonko]

I have been offered Zellweger for 5th overall in this years prospect draft.

Would you accept this offer?


Thanks in advance,

Reps will go out as always!

[finnys_fanatsy]

guess it depends what you had queued up for 5OA?

if it were me id take Zell...

[Dave Muir]

I think I prefer the options that will be available at 5th (Parekh, Buium, Lindstrom or Iginla)

[jman]

I'll take 5th, not much of a contest for me.

[Nylander]

I’m taking 5th

[Feenom]

Plead the 5th!!

[Wonko]

Thanks for the feedback. Looking like a 5th overall this year is the preferred route.

[berni67]

I’ll take the pick too. Will be an excellent choice there

Depends whether you are competing now or in a rebuild. If it is your league in your signature i would go OZ.

I have to agree that the potential of a number of D in this year's draft makes taking that 5th OA desirable. That said, I don't think any of those prospects will be fantasy relevant for at least 2 more years, maybe three and maybe a few are busts. What you are passing on in Zellweger is a D man who put up 17 pts in 14 WJC games for Canada, a guy who put up 27 pts in 44 games in the "A" and who put up 9 pts in 26 games in the NHL. This is far from a no brainer take the 5th OA IMO, if you want a D who is in the NHL now and has clearly demonstrated offensive excellence in Professional hockey and is projected for PP2 and 36 pts in his first full NNL season, then perhaps Zellweger is the way to go. Simply put, win now, give me OZ, building, take a chance on one of this year's crop.

I am in win now mode so I made the trade. Swapped his 14th overall for my 21st as well so I still got a late first round pick.

Thanks for all the replies!

In win now I think that’s a good trade. I would’ve kept 5OA (that’s where I pick too) but zellweher is a blue chip prospect and most likely is the only guy who could steal PP minutes from Minty. I really don’t think anyone lost here unless Zelle busts but I sincerely doubt that.
