Depending on if you need a defenseman or if dmen are valuable in your league..
Looking ahead to my summer draft and trying to decide where to rank Batherson against this year's crop. Where would you select him? Thanks!

Zorro says "vote for Dobber"
Angus is my best friend at dobberhockey..
Is he the only guy from last years draft who's still available or are you just focusing on Batherson for a particular reason?

If you look at Dobber's prospect list, he has Batherson at 45. By comparison, Filip Chytil is 42 and Nick Suzuki is 46. So I think it's safe to say that Batherson has substantially moved up the charts.
I have a hard time seeing Batherson inside the top 15 of this years draft if he were available for a re-draft.

If Dmen are as valuable as forwards then I dont see Batherson in the top 10 picks compared to this year. A lot of promising looking Dmen in this years draft class but I dont think Batherson would be too far outside the top 10 for me. He's in the 10-15 range for sure in my eyes.

For fantasy I would take Dahlin Svechnikov Zadina Wahlstrom Hughes Kotkaneimi over him. Not sure about anyone else. I wouldn?t take other d men over him. Drake has a lot of upside
Forgot to add Tkachuk too
I like him better than Chlapik. Chlapik I view as a Krejci lite. Third line centre with some skill, not the greatest skater. Drake consistently remind me of pre injuries Bobby Ryan the way he skates and handles the puck. Love his development and ?it factor? this season. He could play next year.
Batherson wouldn't crack my Top 20 but he's worth consideration after that. Much closer to the NHL than the youngsters who are first-time draft-eligible now.

For those who have seen him play: what about now?
Is he just the flavour of the week or he's got some real upside?
Opportunity is key and it seems like there are openings in Ottawa...
Points-only keeper league. 12 teams. Keep any 12 players. Dress 12F - 6D - 2G.
He was pretty fast out there and made use of his 11 minutes. But it's just one game!
Year-long points pool (G/A, hat trick, W, SO). Keep top 6 players out of 16.
