The Reinhart pick is like the Eichel pick — risky, but if you believe the projections good value.

 

Of course there is some inherent risk to picking any young player, but I wouldn't single these two out.

 

In regards to Eichel at 9, I think that is hardly riskier than McDavid at 2.

Oh, I agree.

Anytime you are taking a player who has a never playd over one who has,it's a risk.

If I'm singling them out, it's because of the suggestion that either was a homer pick.

 

Speaking of homer picks, four Sabres in the top 60.

4 in the top 60 seems like too many. And it probably is. I love Girgensons but his value isn't the 39th highest of all NHL eligible players.

 

As far as the other three, while on the surface it appears to be too many, they've played a total of 9 games for the Sabres between them, so it's generally just potential and nothing to be linked with the Sabres failures of the past few seasons.

 

Do Eichel, Kane and Reinhart deserve to be in the top 60? You can make a good argument for it. Would fans of other teams rank them in the top 60 if they were conducting a similar draft? Eichel - Probably. Kane - Possibly. Reinhart - Maybe, depends how much WJC they saw.

 

A Blues fan board would probably have Backes in by now. A Leafs board, perhaps a William Nylander.

Nail Yakupov, Ryan Murray, Alex Galchenyuk, Morgan Reilly, Hampus Lindholm, Jacob Trouba, Zemgus Girgensons, Cody Ceci, Thomas Wilson, Tomas Hertl and Olli Maatta are the 2012 draftees that have played significant NHL time already.

 

I would rank Zemgus in the top 5 among those. If that draft were redone today, I think he goes 4th behind Nail, Galchecnyuk and Lindholm.

 

I will admit I gave him a boost with a desire to build from the center out, but I think he goes in the top 60 if all the NHL GMs were asked to complete this same draft.

Barkov to Perry, could be magic in a year or two.

 

I think he's going to be a great center, I like what I've seen out of him. Fun interview too, he pretends to be really shy but he's got a real dry, cocky sense of humor.

Holy crap, I'm up already? I'm not ready.............. So did we decide whether or not we're all building a team or are we just picking who we think is next best in line? In other words I'd like to know if I need to pick a D-man or not. I don't have one.

Ya, if that draft was redone, I agree that Zemgus goes higher than he went.

Just picking players based on value. Not actually building a team based on combining them with your other selected players.

I think my pick covers a little bit of everything. He's a top D-man now and good for the future. I may have gone with another forward if it was just for value.

Sorry, my post was just referencing your earlier one, wasn't making a point regarding your pick. Ekblad is a good pick. No "c" though. ;)

With Fat Phil gone, that means the only teams left without anyone picked are the New Jersey Devils and the Vancouver Canucks.

Eleven's on the clock, followed by WildCard and Thorny.
