NHL Entry Draft: 2012 Re-Draft

[TorontoTrades]

You consider Rielly a top pairing d man right now?

yes, as everyone should. He's played on the top pairing all season and played extremely well. Lindholm is in the same boat.

I disagree. I don't think Rielly is a top pairing guy right now. Look at all the team's and tell me which teams he would be a top pairing guy on. I'm sure it's not many. Just because he is in Toronto, isn't saying much.

From a non-leafs fans who watches quite a few leafs games - he is. Not a #1 yet, but top-pairing.

only teams I would say he's not a top pairing Dman for would be Calgary, Chicago, Minnesota, Nashville, St. Louis, San Jose.

I think an argument can be made for him to be a top pairing D-Man on every other team in the league.


I wouldn't go as far as to say he's a #1 yet but to say he's not a top pairing DMan is simply ignorance.

1. Ghost
2. Gostisbehere
3.

I think Edmonton should have absolutely gone with Rielly or Murray at number 1, they needed D, I'm just happy because Galchenyuk fell to us. I do believe he would have challenged for 1st overall if he had played the entire year.

 

[HOUSUTON]

way too early to make 2012 re-draft, for example Sedins made their real breakthrough 7 years after their draft

 

[HighOFFHockey]

I thought this was an interesting topic to revisit since this was considered a weak draft. Even though I can't see a Goalie getting taken that high anymore. Looking at the kind of historic Rookie season Ghostisbere had, It's hard to say he hasn't outperformed his peers.


1-Shayne Gostisbehere
2-Filip Forsberg
3-Olli Maatta
4-Alex Galchenyuk
5-Colton Parayko
6-Morgan Rielly
7-Hampus Lindholm
8-Jacob Trouba
9-Ryan Murray
10-Matt Murray

Maatta and Parayko should be below Rielly and Lindholm who should be flipped.

I'd say Lindholm is still the best defenseman from this draft but hard to counter against the year Ghost Bear just had.

7-Hampus Lindholm

I would put it

1) Forsberg
2) Galchenyuk
3) Lindholm
4) Gostisbehere
5) Rielly
6) Parayko
7) Trouba
8) R. Murray
9) Vesey
10) Vasilevsky

 

[HabsForHire]

as a leafs fan who was disappointed we didn't get Galchenyuk. I can pleasantly say (as of now) we got the best player from this draft.

some of these guys I won't pretend to know a lot about but my top 10 who I would want, regardless of position need:

1. Morgan Rielly
2. Hampus Lindholm
3. Filip Forsberg
4. Alex Galchenyuk
5. Jacob Trouba
6. Olli Maata
7. Tomas Hertl
8. Ryan Murray
9. Nail Yakupov
10. Teuvo Teravainen

wrong you got the 3rd best

 

[LT]

My best guess, although it's still relatively early:

1. Hampus Lindholm
2. Filip Forsberg
3. Colton Parayko
4. Morgan Rielly
5. Alex Galchenyuk
6. Shayne Gostisbehere
7. Andrei Vasilevski
8. Jacob Trouba
9. Tomas Hertl
10. Matt Murray
11. Olli Maatta
12. Cody Ceci
13. Zemgus Girgensons
14. Ryan Murray
15. Tanner Pearson
16. Radek Faksa
17. Teuvo Teravainen
18. Nail Yakupov
19. Andreas Athanasiou
20. Damon Severson

 

[Dabeast]

I'm happy with Matheson at 23

 

[Leaf Lander]

Connor Brown hopefully becomes a nhl regular this yr and gets into the redraft conversation

 

[QJL]

No Brady Skjei? Was one of the Rangers best players when he came up last year and should step into a top 4 role this year. Don't see how he moves out of the first. Right now some Rangers fans consider him a better prospect than Buchnevich.

1. Rielly
2. Lindholm
3. Forsberg
4. Trouba
5. Vasilevskiy
6. Parayko
7. Murray
8. Galchenyuk
9. Murray
10. Gostisbehere
11. Hertl
12. Teravainen
13. Andersen
14. Maatta
15. Matheson
16. Dumba
17. Hellebuyck
18. Slavin
19. Skjei
20. Severson
21. Pearson
22. Grigorenko
23. Ceci
24. Koekkoek
25. Vesey
26. Pouliot
27. Laughton
28. Jankowski
29. Wilson
30. Reinhart

Absolutely terrible draft. So far there is no 1st line forwards from that draft, and there is no top pairing D men.

Obviously that can change with time.

what? lmao... Lindholm and Forsberg hello

 

[Not Sure]

wasn't Grigorenko considered a top 3 talent pre-draft? I think that says about all that needs to be said. The best players from 2012 ended up being the longshots.

 

[93LEAFS]

His stock collapsed in the QMJHL playoffs. He was out of practically all of the top 5's by the time the draft came along. Very similar to how Chychrun's year played out.

[SelltheTeamFrancesco]

You consider Rielly a top pairing d man right now?

He is on the leafs but not on a playoff team.

 

[Kobe Armstrong]

Galchenyuk goes between #1 and #3. He's the only #1 center.

 

[Ben17]

1. Alex galchenyuk
2. Filip Forsberg
3. Hampus Lindholm
4. Morgan Rielly
5. Matt Murray
6. Jacob Trouva
7. Ryan Murray
8. Tomas Hertl
9. Andrei Vasilevskiy
10. Olli Maatta

Didn't include Gostisbehere or Parayko due to them definitely going pretty high in a 2011 re-draft.

WTF is this BS? This is the worst re-draft I have ever seen. Ghost so low at 27? TT so high at 6? I have no idea what you are basing this on, because it's not based on performance and doesn't appear to be based on potential either
