Top 5 players in 2011 NHL Redraft

[Nico the Draft Riser]

Larsson is the best defenseman in the draft still so if a team needed him top 5 I guess he would place but there are a lot of good forwards ahead of him.

Defensive d are rare to find in todays NHL

 

[DrJustice]

The problem is there are so many good wingers from that draft that Huberdeau and Landeskog (who are both really good players still) might get edged out.

I don't know about this...

Hamilton is probably Larssons equal for a more offensive type dman but if I was a GM Id want Larsson preferably over Hamilton because pure defensive d are rare. Hamilton is probably voted as better in an HF poll but defensive dmen arent 'flashy' or put up a lot of points. So people underestimate their ability.

There is a reason Chiarelli made the move he did - Hall was too much value to give but Chiarelli saw in Larsson what defensive minded fans see in Larsson.

As a flames fan and watching Hamilton the past few years, I would much rather have larsson but lets not pretend that Chiarelli is a well-thought-out GM.

Flames really came out well from this draft. Not only getting Gaudreau, but picking up Hamilton for next to nothing.

 

[Panthaz89]

Landeskog and Huberdeau could still sneak in at 4-5

 

[Pierce Hawthorne]

Yeah Landeskog and Huberdeau both go Top 5 in a re-draft.



What Landeskog brings to the table besides points(Which is still a pretty consistent ~60 point guy) is quite significant, especially compared to the others from the draft.


And Huberdeau has 95 points in his last 113 games. Super underrated.


Re-draft would look something like...


Sheif
Kuch
Gaudreau
Landeskog
Huberdeau
Couturier
Trochek

 

[FlyTimmo]

Kucherov
Scheifele
Gaudreau
Couturier
Huberdeau


1

 

[The Burdened]

Kucherov, Schiefele, Johnny, Couturier, Trocheck

So 0 for me, but I take Trocheck because he's a C. If he wasn't a C, I'd probably put Landeskog, Huberdeau or Dougie in that spot.

 

[Sergei Shirokov]

Voted 1. I think Huberdeau will still make it ahead of Saad. Maybe Landeskog, atleast 1 of those 2 anyways but I would think Huberdeau more so.

 

[Castle8130]

1. Kucherov
2. Scheifele
3. Gaudreau
4. Couturier
5. W. Karlsson
6. Rakell
7. Huberdeau
8. RNH
9. Trocheck
10. Landeskog
11. Larsson
12. Hamilton
13. Saad
14. Zibanejad

If I were to arrange them in talent right now thats how I see it.

 

[22FUTON9]

Might be a homer but I definitely think Landy goes top 5. So 1

I can't see anyone taking Huberdeau over Trochek.

 

[Haatley]

2. Scheifele
3. Gaudreau
4. Couturier
5. W. Karlsson
6. Rakell
7. Huberdeau

Hamilton way too low... wow.

 

[KingTux]

I think Huberdeau and Landeskog can go #4 and #5

 

[garyturner3]

I don't think Tyler Biggs is getting enough respect in this conversation....

 

[Critical13]

I'm gonna get flack for saying this
But I would have Vincent Trocheck in my top 5

1) Kucherov
2) Schiefele
3) Gaudreau
4) Hamilton
5) Trocheck

That's my list too. Nice!

 

[tony d]

2- Huberdau and Landeskog. Kucherov, Gaudreau and Scheifele join them in the top 5.

 

[Green Snow Storm]

Only Huberdeau for me.

No, neither Of them do. Especially not Huberdeau.

Kucherov
Scheifele
Couturier
JG
Hamilton

Huberdeau and Landeskog are behind Couturier offensively and miles behind defensively. I see no argument for either

 

[Howboutthempanthers]

Of course you don't see the argument. After this one season those two are behind Couturier offensively? Yeah, no.

 

[Trap Jesus]

I think Scheifele will keep advancing his game to the point where he'll be considered #1. One of the more impressive picks in recent memory considering that he was viewed as a reach at the time.

Well then

Couturier has had one offensive season. Let's see him repeat his success before calling him a better offensive player than some of those guys.
