North Buffalo Posted July 15, 2017 Report Posted July 15, 2017 looks like I am goona have some tough decisions D- Hedman, Doughty and Risto out there... forwards Benn, Laine, Backstrom, Schefelee, Tarasenko, Seguin. Jeez there are a lot of good players out there. Also thinking Sheary and Drouin may have big years too... Pastrnak Hoffman Barkov too and there are streaky guys like Kessel and Spezza and emerging D like Josi and Hamilton Quote
Thorner Posted July 15, 2017 Report Posted July 15, 2017 So many good candidates at this point. Marchand, Backstrom, Tarasenko. Maybe even Benn, Matthews and Laine. If Malkin or Stamkos could stay healthy for a full season they would be the choice here. However, I'm looking for someone who might actually over perform this spot in the rankings. Tarasenko has been consistent for the last 3 years. Backstrom and Marchand had career years at 29. Benn was off last year. Therefore with the 9th pick in the Sabrespace.com summer best NHL player draft the GASabresFAN draft Leon Draisaitl, C of the Edm Oilers. At 21 this youngster finished 8th in pts and 9th in p/gp of players with over 50 games. He should outperform those numbers this season. 10th. Was gonna pick the guy from Winnipeg who finished 8th in this stat, as he should be ranked higher than the last 3. But incredibly Malkin is still off the board, Malkin. Quote
dudacek Posted July 15, 2017 Report Posted July 15, 2017 I like Flagg's list better than the consensus. Quote
Randall Flagg Posted July 15, 2017 Author Report Posted July 15, 2017 WildCard up, then sabills and then North Buffalo. Quote

I would've gone with Tarasenko in light of "best player for next 2 years" theme of the rankings, but Draisaitl looks like the real deal and is a legitimate choice. Auston Matthews Also very legit. I bet this ubkev character floats. very nice. Quote

GASabresIUFAN Posted July 16, 2017 Report Posted July 16, 2017 Were Tavares and McDavid both #2 last time? Quote

Derrico Posted July 16, 2017 Report Posted July 16, 2017 Was it just me who had Burns ranked so highly? I'll make a case for him when I have more time tomorrow. Quote
Sabres Fan in NS Posted July 16, 2017 Report Posted July 16, 2017 Was it just me who had Burns ranked so highly? I'll make a case for him when I have more time tomorrow. I would have had him top 20, maybe top 15, but not top 10. Simply because I don't see him repeating his awesomeness this coming season. Make no mistake that I think he is a great offensive player and will be that again this coming season, but not as good as last season. I would have had him top 20, or 15, based on his beard alone. I am assuming it will be just as great this coming season. ===== It has been about 18 hours since WildCard picked. Where is the grand marshal of this thing? Did he decide about the 24 hour rule? We may need to get a ruling on the next poster if sabills is MIA for much longer. Quote
Randall Flagg Posted July 16, 2017 Author Report Posted July 16, 2017 Was it just me who had Burns ranked so highly? I'll make a case for him when I have more time tomorrow. I had him 11th. 4th overall for the Norris winner is certainly reasonable. I would have had him top 20, maybe top 15, but not top 10.

We can ask them if they'd be comfortable texting sabills and telling him he's up, maybe? Quote

Randall Flagg Posted July 16, 2017 Author Report Posted July 16, 2017 North Buffalo, if 2:10 passes with no sign then you can make your pick. Quote

We can ask them if they'd be comfortable texting sabills and telling him he's up, maybe? Checking back in the thread sabills never officially said he was 'in'. Wanted to be on a reserve list in case there were not enough players. Time to earn your big salary Mr. I suggest you scratch sabills off the draft listing and just move on. NB says he is ready. Quote
Randall Flagg Posted July 16, 2017 Author Report Posted July 16, 2017 Okay. Go for it, NB. I won't be able to change the order in the list for a bit. NB, True, then IrwinNelson. Quote
