we just did a draft in my FHL and this is how the top 10 shook down:
1. Ovechkin
2. Malkin
3. Ladd
4. Montoya
5. Barker
6. Schwarz
7. Thelen
8. Tukonen
9. Schremp
10. Smid

Obviously people took some players due to a certain positional need... i myself owned a lot of picks in the top 10 (6,8,9,10) - i was pretty stoked to come away with Schwarz, Tukonen, Schremp and Smid

Don't forget Olesz, he's definitely a top 10 guy.

3. Ladd
7. Olesz
10. Tukonen

Assuming AO and Malkin are gone, I'd take Barker at #3. He'll generate points and PIM's down the line, and will be very valuable.

Ladd, Tukonen, Olesz, Picard, Stafford and Radulov are all options from 7 to 10, and I'd prioritize them in that order.

I wouldn't touch Schremp in the top 10.

Our FHL top ten went like this:

1 Alexander Ovechkin
2 Evgeni Malkin
3 Cam Barker
4 Boris Valabik
5 Andrew Ladd
6 Lauri Tukonen
7 Ladislav Smid
8 A.J. Thelen
9 Marek Schwarz
10 Alexander Picarde

I guess it would depend on how your keeper league works in terms of your draft picks. Are you able to keep them for a certain number of years in like a minor league system and then call them up? How long do you have before you have to make a decision as to whether or not give them a roster spot? I have seen leagues where there is minor league and you are given 3 years for forwards, 4 for D men, and 5 for goaltenders. By that year you have to either put that player in your active roster or cut them loose. Using that criteria, you obviously want to draft players who you feel WILL be in the NHL by that time. My top 10 would look like this...

1 AO
2 Malkin
3 Tukonen
4 Schwarz
5 Ladd
6 Montoya
7 Schremp
8 Radulov
9 Olesz
10 Picard

Notables:

Meszaros
Korpikoski
Wolski
Thelen
