Top 5 players in 2016 NHL Re-Draft

[barrsdow]

The original top 5 draft order was:
1. Matthews
2. Liane
3. Dubois
4. Puljujarvi
5. Juolevi

I know it's really early but I would argue that only 2 of the original players would be in the top 5 in a redraft, as I would have it

1. Matthews
2. Liane
3. Tkachuk
4. Sergachev
5. McAvoy

[LordNeverLose]

Can't argue with your top 5, although I'd change the order.

PLD and Puljujarvi would both still go top 10 for sure though.

 

[BeastoftheEast85]

Two, Tkachuk, Keller, Sergachev, Mcavoy, DeBrincat and Bratt are all better than PLD and Puljujarvi

 

[Conspiracy Theorist]

Two, Tkachuk, Keller, Sergachev, Mcavoy, DeBrincat and Bratt are all better than PLD and Puljujarvi

I'd take McAvoy at 3 but the rest are debatable. Too early.

Yea no

 

[FlyTimmo]

1. Matthews
2. Laine
3. McAvoy
4. Keller
5. Tkachuk

5. McAvoy

I would put McAvoy at 3rd at the moment.

1)Matthews
2)Laine
3)McAvoy
4)Tkachuk
5)Keller
Hm: Sergachev

 

[cgf]

2 or 3, I've waffled back & forth too many times to vote

Matthews
Laine
McAvoy

Keller

Sergachev/Dubois/Tkachuk

 

[BeastoftheEast85]

Yea no

Yea, yea

 

[Lays]

1. Matthews
2. Liane
3. Tkachuk
4. Sergachev
5. McAvoy

No way Tkachuk goes above McAvoy/Serg in a redraft. That’s no slight on Tkachuk though but factor in their positions and it should be easy

 

[WhiskeyYerTheDevils]

If I had to rank them:

1-5
Matthews
Laine
McAvoy
Keller
Tkachuk

6-10
Bratt*
Sergachev
Fox
Puljujarvi
Dubois

3-7 is really a tossup for me, I think it's easiest to think of this group in tiers.

Tier 1
Matthews
Laine

Tier 2
McAvoy
Keller
Tkachuk
Bratt*
Sergachev
Fox

Tier 3
Puljujarvi
Dubois
Brown
Girard
Debrincat
Borgstrom
Thompson
Chychrun

Tier 4
Just
Kunin
Juolevi
Nylander

I'm probably missing a few notables, that's just off the top of my head.

*Homer voted, but he's very easily been our 2nd best forward this year. He's been by far our best defensive / all around winger, while being our 2nd most dangerous offensive player and smartest all around player. He's 2nd in team scoring on a 55 point pace, despite the fact that he's played like half of the year on the 3rd/4th lines. He plays in all situations - roughly 4 mins on special teams every night, split almost evenly, so he's only getting about 12 mins of ES TOI per game. His the best half-wall PP setup man I think we've ever had, and arguably our best PK man as well (though Gibbons has been stellar), his composure and anticipation are off the charts.

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

Matthews
Laine
McAvoy
Tkachuk
Keller

imo. I am pretty high on McAvoy and Keller, but I think Matthews and Laine have their spots pretty much locked down for life

 

[DFF]

No way Tkachuk goes above McAvoy/Serg in a redraft. That’s no slight on Tkachuk though but factor in their positions and it should be easy

Not sure about McAvoy but he'll go before Sergachev.....Tkachuk is a player, more than just the numbers

 

[The Winter Soldier]

Laine
Matthews
McAvoy
Keller
Tkachuk

I am not going to post the remaining only to mention I think Michael Mcleod will eventually end up top 10. Just to bring a fresh projection here. I think he fits the Devils new Castron/Shero vision of players.

Laine isn't going to go #1 in a redraft at any point, but definitely not now

 

[SHANNYPLAN]

Top Ten

1. Matthews
2. Laine
3. McAvoy
4. Sergachev
5. Tkachuk
6. Keller
7. Chychurn
8. Dubois
9. Pulujujarvi
10. Debrincat

 

[bert]

Yea, yea

No shot.

The end game for Puljujarvi and PLD is going to make you look silly. These players are 19 years old if you think they are finished developing youre mistaken. Big players take longer its proven time after time.

 

[Scrantonicity 2]

1. Matthews
2. Laine
3. McAvoy
4. Sergachev
5. Tkachuk
6. Keller
7. PLD
8. Bratt
9. Debrincat
10. Chychrun

 

[Panthaz89]

This draft needs more time to really do a redraft as not all players are going to develop the same.

 

[Conspiracy Theorist]

This draft needs more time to really do a redraft as not all players are going to develop the same.

Pulju is on the verge of breaking out and PLD has been decent lately.

 

[Tkachuk Norris]

You are smoking some pretty bad stuff if you think Fox is in the same class as McAvoy and Sergachev

Fox is world class. People will see that soon enough.

 

[VoluntaryDom]

auston and patrik

 

[DFF]

Fox is world class. People will see that soon enough.

Sure

 

[Hockeyisl1fe]

In order: Matthews, Laine, McAvoy, Keller and Borgström.

 

[Halla]

tough. I'd say 2 or 3 depending on who slides in at #5

Matthews
Laine
McAvoy
Tkachuk

Keller/Sergachev/PLD/

Vancouver and Edmonton keep up their awful draft records by the looks of it
