Sorry if I'm a little late with my question, but here goes :
I have two late 3rd round picks in our upcoming draft. This is a sim league so usually the higher the NHL value, the higher the value in our league as well (defensive awareness counts for forwards for example).
Who could I target with my picks? Are there any players that could fall to the end of the 3rd round and that I should keep an eye out for?
Thanks in advance!

On a fantasy hockey break.
30 team multi-cat, can you rank these 4, need soonerish (not a word ) help:
Bjorkstrand
Baptise
Wallmark
Poirie
thank you!
Extremely tough question to answer as I feel the O'Reilly situation was very unique to Colorado drafting him. I guess Saad is another example as well when a prospect forces his way into the lineup.
Some players I would look at metaldude26 are:
William Carrier - He has the size and he has already played 3 seasons in the Q
Frederik Gauthier - responsible player that could find his way into an NHL lineup soon if drafted by the right team.
Bo Horvat - see Gauthier
Curtis Lazar - same situation as Gauthier and Horvat
This draft class is a bit unique since there is a cluster of similarily ranked players from 15-50. Draft slots aren't as distinguished as clear as some previous draft classes but those are four players that slot in that range who WILL be drafted inside the top 45 and could step right into the NHL and make an impact.
Some prospects I like who look to be 3rd round picks include:
Eric Locke
Hudson Fasching
John Hayden
Zach Nastasiuk (I like him as a high 2nd but he could slide)
Emile Poirier
Lucas Wallmark
Ryan Kujawinski
Some defensemen:
Willl Butcher
Michael Downing
Linus Arnesson
Brett Pesce
Those are some of my favourite prospects too....
Thanks for posting all of your questions folks and more importantly, thanks for being patient with my responses.
Please feel free to continue posting here until the draft as I will be checking back more often.

Horvat
