NHL Drafting Game

[Habsrule]

I did this last year and it worked really well. Lets make up this years draft picking players one at a time. All we have to do is post who you think the next best player is in the draft and just a little blurb about them. The blurb could just be a little info or their playing style or anything. That way we can all learn a little bit about the players in the drraft.

1-Adam Larsson-best defencemen in the draft and will log a lot of minutes. Good offensive upside as well.


Please do not post one player after another by the same poster. Give a few picks between yours or even a one hour window between making another pick by the same poster.

So number two would be...

[R S]

2. Ryan Nugent-Hopkins. The best playmaker in the draft will give someone a solid future 1st line center.

3. Sean Couturier - big bodied all around playmaker and goal scorer.

 

[S E P H]

4. Gabriel Landeskog - The next best 2-way winger in the league with tons of leadership qualities.

 

[Torts]

5. Dougie Hamilton - Next best dman after Larsson. Can play a lot minutes and plays every aspect of game.

 

[R S]

5. Jonathan Huberdeau - Some say he should be top 4. I like his size and versatility.

 

[MitchRobichaud]

6. Ryan Strome - Gifted Playmaker, who has seen his stock skyrocket as the season has gone on.

 

[R S]

7. Ryan Murphy - The most explosive defenseman in the draft. Dynamic skater that has a skillset that can break a game open.

 

[Velociraptor]

8. Duncan Siemens - Hard-hitting, solid defenseman, 6'3" frame ideal for hard body checks.

 

[R S]

9. Mika Zabinejad - I go off the board a bit and take this big Swede. Great all round player with size and a nice physical edge.

 

[Vladimir Tarasenko*]

10. Tyler Biggs - potential to be one of the best power forwards of this draft

 

[Armia]

11. Joel Armia - Big body, smooth hands and a great goalscorer.

 

[Torts]

12. Brandon Saad - great playmaker and scorer, big body and smart player

 

[CandiedBacon]

13. Sven Bartschi: Has the potential to be a smaller Niedereiter

 

[gifted88]

14. Ryan Murphy - best offensive Dman in the draft

 

[YungDankShawty]

15. Zack Phillips: Explosive offensive player with great hands and a great shot.







Edit: Woops sorry didn't check if Armia was there already.

Armia taken twice and both Heuberdeau and Hamilton at 5.. this game is working out nicely.

14. Ryan Murphy - best offensive Dman in the draft

Already taken...

Armia taken twice and both Heuberdeau and Hamilton at 5.. this game is working out nicely.

To be fair, the guy changed his to Hamilton after he had posted it as Landeskog....that's why our numbers are the same. He originally had his as #4 Landy, the same as the guy ahead of him.

To summarize:

1. Adam Larsson
2. Ryan Nugent-Hopkins
3. Sean Couturier
4. Gabriel Landeskog
