I picked Mittelstadt due to roster situation but boy I didn't expect it to be so close. Doesn't Tolvanen have more experience against tougher competition at this point? I could see Tolvanen coming cheaper the more people think he will remain buried in NSH. Talent always rises, even with coaches who sit youngsters.

I loved Mittelstadt before. But with O'Reilly now gone, I'm legit licking my chops as a Mittelstadt owner.
Welcome to PP1, Casey ... meet Eichel, Dahlin++
We're likely looking at 72-78 points from this kid in his prime. I see Tolvanen as more of a 30/30/60 guy, which is still awesome considering the G bonus.
We have our prospect draft coming up and I'm thinking most likely scenario I'm getting Mittelstadt.
4th overall pick and this is how I would rank them (correct me if im crazy)
1. Dahlin
2. Svechnikov
3. Pettersson
4. Mittelstadt
then Tolvanan/Zadina/Necas ect
I've been unsuccessful in trying to trade up in the draft so far so I may have to 'settle' for Mittelstadt.
Sound reasoning, but you're lucky I'm not drafting 3rd. There's no way I'd take Pettersson over Mittelstadt. Skill-wise, these kids are on par, but I'm looking at toys...
Mittelstadt: Eichel, Dahlin, Skinner, Reinhart, Ristolainen, Olofsson, Nylander, Guhle, etc.
Pettersson: Boeser, Horvat, Hughes, etc.
A PP featuring Eichel, Dahlin, Mittelstadt could be downright drool worthy.
If it were me, I'd be cutting a side deal with the GM who picks 3rd to ensure you get Mittelstadt. Only Dahlin and Svechnikov should go ahead of him, and Svech based on hype and draft position.
I'm loving this thread more and more.. How many other teams in your league would love to be drafting in that top 4 Stunt??
Zorro says "vote for Dobber"
Angus is my best friend at dobberhockey..
I received one offer of Leon Draisaitl + 16th overall pick for Krug, 4th overall pick. Not sure if I want to do that though. If my trade evaluation is out of wack let me know Zorro lol. I always feel out of my zone when managers tell me to make an offer because that is my weakest part of being a GM
I would pick tolvanen. He scored a bunch against pros in KHL. I guess you can say that buffalo is up and coming but that?s not sure thing and Nashville is a great team now and moving forward.
I?d have to think about it but 1 vs 1 I like EELI the PRO over Casey
He's the argument for Tolvanen. @DobberHockey lists him as #1 forward prospect. Seems like the overwhelming majority go against Dobber here.
