2011 draft: Top 10 vs Unknown Quantities

[Pizza the Hutt]

Another odd draft.

Which ten players would you take for your team?

The top 10? Or rando's from the later rounds?

Top Ten:

1- Ryan Nugent-Hopkins
2- Gabriel Landeskog
3- Jonathan Huberdeau
4- Adam Larsson
5- Ryan Strome
6- Mika Zibenejad
7- Mark Scheifele
8- Sean Couturier
9- Dougie Hamilton
10- Jonas Brodin

Later rounds:

58- Nikita Kucherov
104- Johnny Gaudreau
43 - Brandon Saad
208 - Ondrej Palat
64- Vincent Trochek
160- Josh Manson
53- William Karlsson
42- Victor Rask
204 - Ryan Dzingel
37- Boone Jenner

Should be closer than people will say.

Kucherov and Gaudreau on same team would be fun

Could’ve had them both if feaster wasn’t stupid.

 

[Section88]

Kucherov and gaudreau tip the scales. But top to bottom the top ten is stronger.

 

[Perratrooper]

I feel most drafts you can hand pick 10 guys out the entire draft that'll beat or compete with the top 10.

For example the 2010 Draft:
Hall
Seguin
Gudbranson
R. Johansen
Niederreiter
B. Connoly
Skinner
Burmistrov
M. Granlund (MIN)
McIlrath

Versus
Faulk
Klingberg
Gallagher
M. Stone (OTT)
F. Anderson (TO)
Ferland
Toffoli
Zucker
Hyman
Mrazek

The lower-ranked team would certainly be better on the wing, but Scheifele-Zibanejad-Couturier down the middle is too fire to pass up.

Outside of Kucherov and Gaudreau the "Top 10" is substantially better.

Depends if you think those 2 are enough to tip the scales.
