2017 nhl redraft 1-15

[Frolov 6'3]

Petterson, Makar, Heiskanen.

Than the next group with Necas, Thomas, Vilardi, Yamamoto, Suzuki etc. and one or two will hook up eventually. They just started.

That seems to be the consensus view except for a few outliers like the poster above you.

 

[Favin]

Makar
Pettersson
Hischier
Heiskanen
Suzuki
Patrick

Have no argument with anyone putting Pettersson first. Not willing to give up on Patrick since we haven't seen enough yet.

 

[Xirik]

Can always count on Montreal fans to make me laugh.

 

[SteveCangialosi123]

Makar/Heiskanen are clearly the top 2 with Suzuki and Pettersson as a distant 3/4 and then a cluster of players after that.

Suzuki over Nico is hilarious

Yamamoto? I’d have him over Patrick at this point.

Heiskanen ahead of Hischier as well. Probably above Pettersson but it’s close. Makar-Heiskanen-Pettersson are the clear top 3 in some order for me.

I wouldnt. The upside of a healthy Patrick is still so high i would take a chance on him over Yamamoto.

I do like Yamamoto as a scoring winger though. I have him at 9

Injuries concern me with Patrick. I really liked Patrick in his WHL days, thought he’d be an absolute star one in the NHL.

Yamo the Honey Badger for sure goes top 10 in a redraft. It’s funny he’s smallest guy the in the NHL but absolutely relentless on the forecheck. He’s like a faster and more skilled Gallagher but smaller and less of a “pest”, the little gaffer just goes all out every single shift and has skills to match.

He was a fantastic pick at #22.

I never knew Yamamoto was that small. I thought he was just average sized.

I thought Patrick missed time due to migraines not injuries. If that gets sorted out i can see him being successful from here on out.

Yamamoto is borderline top 10 right now, he could solidify himself there with a great season, but i think guys like Texier/Glass/Batherstrom will also be big risers so it will be interesting and im sure my list will change by seasons end.

lol I was reading the first page like "are these guys serious" before seeing it was from 2018.

Thomas over Suzuki is a terrible take for any poster. Clear they haven’t watched both players. And I’m an Ottawa fan.

Ottawa fan...says it all. Keep the faith.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

Pettersson/Makar/Heiskanen in any order is reasonable.

After that, Hischier/Suzuki in any order is also reasonable.

Then it's a free for all and which players who are still mostly unproven you prefer.

mmhmm, So please explain your reasoning behind how Suzuki is equal to Hischier?

I didn't say he's equal. I'd have Hischier ahead, but I think there is an argument for Suzuki ahead of Hischier. Suzuki is pacing for 1PPG this season and is a good defensive player. This was after having a very good rookie season. He's a quality top six center. He'll be considered no worse than a 1B/2A type of center by the end of the season, and thats what Hischier is. Suzuki's rise is more rapid, Hischier's more steady. Both good players.

It may be a preference issue. Hischier has had to carry a terrible team on his back. Suzuki has done well offensively on a better team. They are both good and different teams might see them differently.

Very similar years last year and im not letting Suzuki's hot 10 games propel him spots up in a mock draft. i have no doubt he can pass him though
