I'll bump this post when I knock you out of the playoffs in a round or two.Same. I’ll draft the best team no matter where I draft.

It's not that I don't think he's good its more a stylistic thing, same way I wouldn't draft John Carlson even if he was BPA, unless I know for sure he can be well insulated with players who compliment him.
It's actually part of the reason I think teams drafting Matthews have had a bit of difficulty too, you have to nail the pieces around him.
It's for players like Drai and Matthews I wanted to see the optimal slot, some guys are harder to build around then others (i.e. Crosby is probably the easiest)
You have to make it past the first round to do that. Honestly though don’t even know which team you are.I'll bump this post when I knock you out of the playoffs in a round or two.
Why is that exactly? Just curious, he has been an absolute beast.
You need to watch Drai more.
I have absolutely no preference where I draft.
I think this is the correct mindset to have.
I’m of the opinion that if you have a good strategy and a good pulse on which players are the most valuable and fit your team needs at the current time, then where you draft makes little to no difference.
Same. I’ll draft the best team no matter where I draft.
I'm St. Louis, the best team in the game.You have to make it past the first round to do that. Honestly though don’t even know which team you are.
Yeah pretty much why I'd likely struggle to build around himYou need to watch Drai more.
Every time I have seen him I've just been struck by how odd his style is, it's not that I think he's a bad hockey player at all, I totally get how good he is but I wouldn't know what to do with him lol, think when you give your grandpa an iPad except I'm far from a grandpa and it's not an iPad, its a big beastly German hockey playerI believe Draisaitl's production increased when McDavid went down which is amazing. It is odd watching him play though. At times he looks lethargic but i think he just coasts for stretches to conserve energy (Tippett was playing the hell out of him and McDavid)
This too, perception from some voters who knock players, I draft a lot off of bad teams not good onesI'm not the OP but I'd suppose it's for the same reason that guys like Jake Guentzel consistently get overlooked. For games where you are relying on others' perceptions and interpretations of the team you've put together, people tend to underrate the linemates of elite players because there are questions surrounding how that linemate would play if they weren't attached to the elite player's hip. A bit unfair in Draisaitl's case because I believe he tends to play more on RNH's line, but it's certainly something I take into account when researching picks.
So we have:I'm St. Louis, the best team in the game.
Don’t worry I fixed it for youI'm St. Louis, the at best 2nd best team in the game.
Same. I've been 15 and 17 and I just want something new.I agree that your draft spot doesn't really affect your outcome. If you draft well you'll do well.
I've been in the top-10 both times so far, so I just want to change things up a bit.

I think you’re right, just waiting for him to post them before chaos breaks outI believe LT said he has spreadsheet ready but just make matchups and draft order random and if someone wants to trade teams do that.
I'm up against @LatvianTwist
If I lose he rigged it
I thought we were going to do a 31-1 3rd round. What happened?
It was suggested but I'm not a fan. I never had that in the initial OP.
Are you thinking of the other draft that never got off its feet?
