What I don't understand is two years ago Trouba was ranked 25th best, IIRC. Coming off a career year with 50 points in 82 games he may not crack the top 31?

Don't see how it isn't him at this point.

I would vote for Trouba except Buff is somehow still on the board and I watch those two enough to vote for Buff over Trouba - both should be higher than this though IMO

big buff

Took Lindell slightly over Provorov but to be honest I didn't see Zach as I assumed he was already on the list.

Man there are a lot of great Dmen in the NHL.

I've always really liked Trouba alot and thought he was under rated but now I think he might be a tad over rated.

didn't pick Buff due to health concerns.

Same reason I'm going to say add Tanev now, if he was able to stay healthy he should be in the top 31 but he can't.

Byfuglien is my pick
