So I thought it might be fun for everyone to put who they would have drafted at each spot in the draft. We could do something like this every year, and see who does the best job at drafting, bumping this thread a few years down the line. Maybe you could even be able to replace our current scouts:naughty:

Anyways, let's try to leave player discussions out of it, and just list who your picks would be.

For reference, here are Vancouver's picks:

9) Bo Horvat
24) Hunter Shinkaruk
85) Cole Cassels
115) Jordan Subban
145) Anton Cederholm
175) Mike Williamson
205) Miles Libertari

And here's who I would have taken:

9) Valeri Nichushkin
24) Hunter Shinkaruk
85) Sven Andrighetto
115) Jordan Subban
145) Markus Soberg
175) Tyler Hill
205) Lucas Wallmark

Anyways, have at it, name your picks!

Hopefully someone nails the 205 pick and can then brag about for 20 years.

What "should" our picks have been based on the final rankings from central?

One major flaw is the assumption that the players available would still be available at the next selection.

For example if Vancouver took Nichushkin 9th perhaps Hunter wouldn't be available at 24th (which could happen if Dallas picked Hunter).

I would have taken Brodeur in the sixth round just to troll the Devils for not giving us another pick.

I'm fine with where the others were taken, but I probably would have gone with Cehlarik over Cassels, and Burroughs over Williamson.

Another floor in this game is there were people that wanted to take Subban in the 3rd round but then he was available in the 4th but that is still using hindsight to become a better drafter...

A lot of them wanted Shinkaruk at 9 too.

It isn't perfect, but it's just for fun. It would be kind of hard to recreate the draft exactly unless we had everyone posting their picks at the same time as the draft, which is impossible to do now.
