My Top 10 2015 NHL Redraft

[Kale Hulls]

14th after Hanifin and DeBrusk

That's just disrespectful.

Yikes

 

[Tkachuky]

Even though the Flames didn’t have a pick, in exctatic with Andersson. I figure he would go in the first round rather easily in a re draft. Maybe in a couple of years he could challenge for a top 10 spot in a redraft.

 

[Tage2Tuch]

Yikes

Just noticed Barzal and Eichel both in the top four in offensive zone posession with mcdavid and Kane today.

 

[Tripod]

Wow...#6 overall Pavel Zacha was just sent to the AHL.

Maybe he will get a chance to gain confidence by scoring/producing more down there and that will be the jolt he needs.

 

[BB88]

Provorov is #2 for me. People love the points now, but I want the stud defenseman. I'll take the Hedman of this draft.

Aho could be a ppg 2way C.

I think lot of posters are still sleeping on Rants turning into a powerforward that can go +ppg in a season.

 

[PWJunior]

Just noticed Barzal and Eichel both in the top four in offensive zone posession with mcdavid and Kane today.

Barzal led the league last year ahead of McDavid and Kane. What's the order of the top-4 this year?

Also, do you have a link for this stat?

 

[LetsGoBLUES91]

1. McDavid
2. Eichel
3. Marner
4. Rantanen
5. Provorov
6. Barzal
7. Werenski
8. Aho
9. Boesner
10. Meier

What do you guys think?

I’m not gonna nickpick one or two spots but I’d be shocked Meier goes top 10.

I wouldn’t trade Dunn for Meier and I’d bet if I made a list Dunn would be around 15-20

Great draft.

 

[LetsGoBLUES91]

1 Mcdavid
2 Jeichel
3 Barzal
4 Rantanen
5 Provorov
6 Aho
7 Boeser
8 Werenski
9 Marner
10 Connor

HM Chabot Konecny Debrusk Meier Carlo

And Dunn!

Great draft.

Dunn is not even in the discussion for top 10.

 

[LetsGoBLUES91]

Meier? Are you related to him? How in the heck would you have him above Boeser?

I’m shocked how many lists Meier is on.

 

[LetsGoBLUES91]

Dunn is not even in the discussion for top 10.

Who said he was?

 

[Slap]

Rantanen made the largest jump from a prospect to a star. I remember watching him in Liiga, wjc and such. Never thought much about him. I felt like he is probably going to be a pretty good middle 6 player.
This is why teams don't pay me to scout.

 

[Panthaz89]

Carries them where exactly? To the bottom of the Atlantic? Anyone who watches the Avs know that they feed off each other more than anything. Eichel doesn't play with garbage. He's had Kane, Reinhart, Okposo, Skinner over the past couple years. If he was as great as everyone claimed he is he would do just fine with them. Ive said this already and ill say it again. Yes Matthews spent a lot of time with Nylander but he's produced just as well when he played with Connor Brown because thats what great players do. Rantanen would do just fine if he played on another line and anyone that watches the Ads would know that.

you aren't making any sense...he's literally been productive his entire career and anybody who plays on his line becomes significantly more productive than when they don't play on it. He has 14 in 13 right now despite shooting lower on average than his other seasons.....only 4 of his points are on the PP which means he isn't reliant on PP too.

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

And Dunn!

he's having a pretty disappointing year. I don't see how he's even an honorable mention at this point

 

[mja]

Wow...#6 overall Pavel Zacha was just sent to the AHL.

Maybe he will get a chance to gain confidence by scoring/producing more down there and that will be the jolt he needs.

Yeah, it's really a shame. Hopefully he's able to at least carve out a respectable NHL career, but that pick is looking rough right now, and the Devils didn't really do him any favors by rushing him into the NHL either. After all, it's not like he was setting the world on fire in the OHL.

 

[MOGlLNY]

It will be interesting to compare this down the road. The 2003 draft started great and then guys fizzled out

lol what?

 

[1865]

Provorov has had two good games so he’s probably back up to where he was at the start of the season now again, that’s how it works I believe?

 

[Boom Boom Apathy]

Feel like Aho is getting slightly over rated in this. Great start to the year but doesn't have the track record a few of the others have at the NHL level yet.

From his draft class, he's 5th in total points in the NHL since being drafted. Most of the rankings in this thread I've seen have him 5th -8th.

Yeah, there are a couple that have him higher, and lower, but the majority have him in that range. Given that his "track record" is 5th most points, how is that over-rated?

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

RIP Coyotes

 

[StatisticsAddict99]

Meier over Connor... Lol... Recency bias...

 

[M2Beezy]

And Dunn!

Nope

 

[MMC]

This draft was hecking insane, my mans. Lots of elite talent, but the depth is amazing as well. Just look at this:

NHL-players so far: McDavid, Eichel, Marner, Hanifin, Zacha, Provorov, Werenski, Meier, Rantanen, Crouse, DeBrusk, Barzal, Connor, Chabot, Eriksson Ek, Boeser, Konecny, Roslovic, Juulsen, Beauvillier, Fischer, Dermott, Aho, Carlo, Dunn, Malgin, Nutivaara.

And out of these guys, 90% will make a career in the NHL: Strome, Guryanov, Svechnikov, White, Samsonov, Larsson, Carlsson, Merkley, Stephens, Meloche, Forsbacka Karlsson, Sprong, Chlapik, Hintz, Greenway, Guhle, Andersson, Trenin, Kylington, Dergachyov, Spacek, Joseph, Kaprizov, Simon, Jaros, Gaudette, Gavrikov, Mangiapane, Niku.

Also there's guys like Trenin, Bracco, Zboril, Senyshyn, Bittner, Cernak, Siegenthaler, Saarijarvi, Saarela, Garland, Bear, Timashov, Mikkola, Balcers, Musil, Roy and Looke who could be something some day.

One of the best drafts ever. So many potential HHOF candidates. You got the elite stars, 2nd line wingers, middle-6 guys, bottom-6 guys, elite D-men, #3D's... I could build a team with these guys in a couple of years and fit it under the salary cap.

You forgot U.S. Olympian Troy Terry

Not sure how Barzal isn’t clear cut #2 on these lists at this point. We are valuing pedigree over production too much here

So he is miles above Mikko Rantanen who leads the NHL in points with a clear margin. Yikes...
I love him and he is a one of my faves, but I'd take Rants over him at this point.
