We are only looking at their NHL careers, of course. Who would you pick BPA (Best Player Available) ???

Don't pick based on your team needs, etc. Pick on who is better at hockey and what have they done at the NHL level. But for some guys (like Olofsson/Kubalik) what you project them to do.


Please make your suggestions or let me know if there's a mistake or omission.

* Yes Frederik Andersen was initially a 7th round pick but was then drafted again in the 3rd round by the Ducks, which is the one that counts.


Players left to add :

Chris Campoli
Matt Hunwick
Erik Condra
Erik Haula
Jason Demers
Carl Gunnarsson
Derek Dorsett
Sergei Kostitsyn
Ondrej Kase
Markus Nutivaara
Matt Roy
Nic Dowd
Andreas Johnson

I’d take Weegar. Looks like a stud top pairing guy

Palat a much more proven top 6 winger but an all situations top pair right shot dman is a rare commodity- let alone to be found in the 7th round

Prime Hornqvist was a monster. Little bit of recency bias here imo. Weegar is another good choice though.

 

[majormajor]

Weegar - about 85 games playing like a #2 D-man.

Palat - good all-around complementary winger.

Hornqvist - in his prime, a game changer in front of the net.

Hornqvist was one of the best in the league at the role he played. So he has my vote.

 

[LaMasquerade]

Hornqvist (in his prime) quite easily for me..

 

[Xspyrit]

First 2 votes were quite easy but it gets interesting here, at least 4 guys have solid arguments
