[Felidae]

If all the 2nd overall picks were in the same draft. In what order would they be ranked? Ignore how their NHL Careers have turned out so far

The rest.

For me, it's:

Seguin
Barkov
Eichel
Laine
Landeskog
Reinhart
Svechnikov
Patrick
Murray

Wouldn't have an issue if someone put Barkov at the top, but I think Seguin has the edge right now.

 

[Leafs87]

For me, it's:

Seguin
Barkov
Eichel
Laine
Landeskog
Reinhart
Svechnikov
Patrick
Murray

Similar although I’d have Barkov above Seguin and Landeskog above Laine. Also think I’d have Svechnikov above Reinhart but that one is very close

In a few years I think Eichel will be the best

 

[BonMorrison]

Hedman
Barkov
Eichel
Seguin
Landeskog
Laine
Reinhart
Svechnikov
Murray
Patrick

Laine can definitely move up if he rebounds next season. Svechnikov will likely move up as more time goes on too.

Murray gets lost in the shuffle I feel like because of his injury problems. When he's healthy, he is fantastic especially this year when the Jackets really got hurt when he was out of the line-up.

The rest.

What decade are you in, man?

 

[LongWayDown37]

Malkin



The rest.

Not this decade. Are we talking ‘09-‘18? If so...

Eichel
Barkov
Hedman
Seguin
Landeskog
Laine
Svechnikov
Reinhart
Murray
Patrick

Eichel
Barkov
Hedman
Seguin
Landeskog
Laine
Svechnikov
Reinhart
Murray
Patrick

I'm not sold on the idea that Eichel will prove to be better than Hedman. I guess we'll see. I'd personally take Hedman over all these guys, and if I was to take someone over him, it would be Barkov.

 

[Hostile Offer]

Barkov
Seguin
Eichel
Laine
Kakko?
Svechnikov
Landeskog
Reinhart
Patrick
Murray

 

[tucker3434]

I guess Hedman counts until July.

Hedman
Barkov
Seguin
Eichel
Landeskog
Laine
Reinhart
Svechnikov
Patrick
Murray

 

[TheBluePenguin]

Nevermind didn't read

I would take Malkin or Pronger over Shanny, but to be fair I really dislike Shanny

 

[AvsFan29]

Barkov
Seguin
Eichel
Laine
Kakko?
Svechnikov
Landeskog
Reinhart
Patrick
Murray

You have Laine and Kakko? Above Landeskog. Probably not bro

 

[LongWayDown37]

Alrighty.

 

[Slitty]

Malkin



The rest.

Pfffft. I wouldn't even place him in the top 100 number 2 draft picks.

 

[VoluntaryDom]

Eichel
Hedman
Seguin
Barkov
Svechnikov
Landeskog
Reinhart
Murray
Patrick
Laine

 

[Sidney the Kidney]

Eichel
Hedman
Seguin
Barkov
Svechnikov
Landeskog
Reinhart
Murray
Patrick
Laine

You think Laine's been the worst 2nd overall pick of the past decade?

I know I make fun of his fans and their 60+ goal projections every single season, but the guy's been a legitimate top line sniper every season. I don't see how he's worse than guys who haven't even come close to his level of success.

 

[780il]

Barkov
Hedman
Eichel
Seguin
Svechnikov
Landeskog
Laine
Murray
Reinhart
Patrick

 

[crazyfisherman]

OP said ignoring their nhl career so far, so based on hype alone??
1. Eichel
2. Hedman
3. Seguin
4. Laine
5. Barkov (he wasn't even the consensus number 2 at the time, he was projected to be a good 1st line center)
6. Svechnikov
7. Landeskog
8. Patrick
9. Reinhart
10. Murray

 

[playasRus]

Feel like Seguin is being underrated.

Hedman - The only one on the list considered perennial top player in his position.
Seguin - Decade of PPG player
Eichel - Room to move up to Hedman level.
Barkov - Room to move ahead of Seguin. Break out season. Could flip him and Eichel at the moment but Eichel has shown similar potential at a younger age.
Landeskog - Don't see him surpassing any of the guys above him by careers end.
Murray - Top 4 established. Injury prone.
Laine - Shown to be a 40 goal threat before.
Reinhart - Coming around, could move up past Landeskog in a season or two if he starts topping out as a legit top line 70-80 point. Similar career trajectory as Landeskog so far, with less of the "intangibles"
Svechnikov - First full season, lots of promise but wouldn't put him ahead of the likes of guys like Laine and Reinhart who've already established a higher floor than wheren Svechnikov is at current development. Could see him surpassing Murray if he develops well.
Patrick - Injuries have held him back. Could become a Barkov/Landeskog level player if he gets healthy and develops into what was expected.

Strong math bruh

 

[Mrb1p]

Barkov
Eichel
Seguin
Svechnikov
Landeskog
Laine
Patrick
Reinhart
Murray

Svechnikov and Patrick are where I believe they'll land.

I would agree based on the hype. Your 1-3 were all hyped as possible #1s (well not Eichel because of McDavid, but he was still super hyped).

 

[tsujimoto74]

So, based solely on pre-draft hype?

1. Eichel -- everyone and their mother said he would go 1st in any draft between Crosby and McDavid
2. Hedman
3. Barkov -- monster numbers in his draft year, but he was fighting with Jones and Drouin for the #2 ranking
4. Seguin -- was legitimately in play for #1OA his draft year, but it wasn't as strong a draft as some of the others
5. Laine
6. Svechnikov
7. Landeskog
8. Patrick
9. Reinhart -- pretty weak top-end of the draft, and Bennett and Draisaitl were also in play at #2
10. Murray -- such a weak top-end in that draft

 

[Yamborghini]

I understand Panthers games aren't exactly must-see TV, but nobody who watches Barkov consistently would put him lower than second.

For me it's
Barkov
Hedman
Seguin
Eichel
Laine
Landeskog
Svechnikov
Patrick
Reinhart
Murray

I could see Eichel or Laine moving up though for sure. Hell, anyone on this list is still young enough to be the best player by the end of their careers.

 

[VoluntaryDom]

should move hedman down about 5 spots based on tonight alone jeez
