(1): Undrafted Draft+1 OHL FWD Evgeni Oksentyuk vs. 2019 NHL Drafted OHL FWDS (2001 Born) Draft+1 Season Estimated Scoring Rates:
**Remember kids: Official TOI isn't provided to us heathens**
(2): Oksentyuk Even-Strength Involvement% & Even-Strength Primary Involvement% vs this same sample of players
Picking Oksentyuk anywhere from Rd 4 through 7 would represent good value for any NHL team. Stacks up real nicely vs his already drafted peers during his first season in NA.

I'd definitely rather buy stocks on the way up than on the way down, but...it's hard for me to ignore the fact that he was the best skater at the Hlinka for my money this summer. Mitigating risk is how you come out on top in the long run, but at some point risk intersects reward. Obviously you have to be comfortable with his long term health and essentially missing 2/3 of your 17 year old season is not ideal either. Will you be able to with a possible accelerated draft process?

In realistic case scenario our target should be on of:
- Jake Neighbours;
- Jacob Perrault;
- Martin Chromiak;
- Kaiden Guhle;
- Brendan Schneider;
- Ryan O`Rourke;
- Thomas Bordeleau;
- Ridley Greig
And my own non-draft list (at least in the 1st round):
- Jeremie Poiriere - awful lateral movies and backward skating, which are unallowable for Dman in the NHL nowdays;
- Connor Zary - lack of top-6 skills, terrible non-PP stats, despite he`s a late 2001 born and played 1st line alongside with solid (by WHL standarts) overagers

I hope the board is a lot better than that.

Well, I hope someone like Jarvis or Mercer will fall to our choice, but right now it seems unrealistic. I`m not a big fan of some hyped guys like Amirov or Gunler, so I don`t think other guys are more better than ones I listed above. It`s a matter of taste thoughI hope the board is a lot better than that.

Difference of opinion I guess. Besides Greig, I really have no interest in any of the players listed as first round picks. They are more 2nd round types (to me). O'Rourke - I don't think you could convince me he's a top 100 pick. That would be a really disappointing pick for a team with all of the young LHD in the system.

Reichel and Mysak - probably, but I doubt they will be on the board.
Khusnutdinov - no offense on his skill set, but I wouldn’t waste a 1st round pick for undersized MHL player IMO

I hope the board is a lot better than that.
I guess:
Lafreniere, Rossi, Byfield, Stutzle, Raymond, Holtz, Gunler, Lundell, Perfetti, Drysdale, Sanderson, Askarov, Quinn, Zary, Mercer.
Feel like 15 who will almost certainly go top 20. Maybe ~1 guy falls.
Then:
Jarvis, Mysak, Amirov, Holloway are 4 more who very likely are gone before 20.
Which leaves ~6 picks before the Flyers and:
Brisson, Bourque, Lapierre, Nybeck, Neigbours, Perreault, Peterka, Reichel, Greig, Evangelista, Chromiak...
And: Andrae, Grans, Wallinder, Poirier, Schneider, Guhle, Barron, Cormier.
Left as guys who seem like they have a good chance to go in the 1st round.
I would *guess* that ~3 Dmen go before the Flyers.
And that there are ~2-3 of:
Brisson, Bourque, Lapierre, Nybeck, Perreault.
are left when the Flyers pick.
I’m all aboard the Lapierre train. Read an article about how his injury was misdiagnosed and that he’s fine now.
he’s fine and would offer more upside than many others at our spot
After draft year of injury and mystery, Hendrix Lapierre has something to prove

Hmm. Good read. I like the player a lot.
The results of his medical examination from team’s will almost certainly impact where he gets drafted. Could be BPA late in the 1st.

I have 4th overall in a full keeper league and I'm having trouble on who I would pick there

Ooof. Tough draw.
Stutzle if he is there (I could see somebody at 2 or 3 going full Kournianos and taking Perfetti).
Otherwise I would recommend looking very closely at Rossi, Perfetti, or Askarov. 4th seems crazy on a goalie but I really think this kid is legit and if your settings allow you to stash him for 3/4/5 years; that's a pick that will pay off for a decade or more.
I hope Marat Khusnutdinov falls to 101 so the flyers can grab him in rd 3... what a steal.

Hmm.
If I had an extensive breadth of knowledge about this draft (I don't), I'd still have Mysak, Lapierre, Foerster, Amirov, Brisson, & Chromiak over O'Rourke at 26. Each of those players provide far more value at #26 than O'Rourke ever could.
If Askarov signs, he would probably be top 5 in the league. And yep, since it's a full league, you can hold onto a player as long as you have a spare NA slot for them.

I've yet to find my 2020 Bobby Brink to bang the table for.
I'm still in my initial stages of studying. It's going to be very difficult this year. No U-18 tournament. Also, the super handy prospect shift website has folded.
