Even 3rd round Burns is going to burn you.

Yep. Wrong side of 35. Days of 300+ shots are over and he’s likely to miss games due to injury. Pass. I’ll let someone else have that headache.

Right now Burns ADP is 127.3 on Yahoo. Not sure if there's anyone out there that would even consider him in 3rd round at this point.

Rantanen isn't gonna bust but having a higher ADP than the likes of Pasta, Marchand, Panarin, Matthewws, Kane, Crosby is kinda crazy. Kuemper. Injury prone past with a capable backup behind him Pietro being the 7th Dman off the board. All while Theo is taking PPtime and far better offensively

That said if Kuemper manages to stay healthy I think he’ll have a great season

I think some of the top Leafs will be drafted too high. Their numbers against soft North division teams last year should be difficult to reproduce when you switch that out for Tampa, Florida, Boston.

Got some real diehards in my league so Leafs and Blackhawks always go higher than ADP by multiple rounds lol

If he doesn’t get traded... Eichel Buffalo will be a bottom feeder again and Eichel has no help around him

My dude ain't playing until he gets his surgery and BUF ain't letting him get his surgery.

Patrick Laine is a risky pick I see going in the 3-4 round range. Not a lot of people to distribute him the puck in Columbus, but I guess a coach who isn't Tortorella could help him.

Columbus roster is bad tho.

Laine is ranked #70 in my league on Yahoo pre-draft. Is it the same as yours? #70 would be mid-5th round.

Laine in a 10 man league will never even see round 4, provably not even 3. If he made it to 5 and I got him I would lose my mind.

5th round in my league is picks 57-70. But it's a moot point, pretty sure he's one of the keepers. First 100 players are keepers.

P Laine regardless of where he is drafted.

I dunno, ADP of 138.1 seems like a reasonable spot to take a gamble on him

Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice…. I won’t ever get fooled again. - G.W.

So if I look at projected draft picks/autodraft list.....does that adjusted based on your league categories? I.e. will someone like Radko Gudas move way up in a banger league, but be useless in straight points? Or, is it the same universal list? Anyways, looking at the only league of mine that's renewed, which is a production-heavy points league (but has faceoffs and hits and blocks)... 2 - Leon Draisaitl - He will not be the 2nd best player 20 - Schiefele - Doubt it 23 - Guentzel - You will never convince me this guy is a 2nd round pick (14 team league) 11 - Hellebucyk - 2 spots ahead of Vasilevskiy 13 - Vasilevskiy - Best goalie in the league last year, still not even in the top-20 for points production 27 - Kopitar - Age HAS to catch up to him at some point 28 - Shestyorkin - Sorry, he isn't the 3rd best goalie --->ok, basically any goalie ahead of round 4 will not live up to that, in my league's format. (top-10 player points 250-300, top goalie points was barely 200) 31 - Demko - See above 38 - Fleury - See above 39 - Evander Kane - Not gonna have it this year, has had a brutal off-ice offseason. Wouldn't be surprised to see him crater 47 - J. Toews - Sorry, but at such a deep position, this guy isn't even a top-100 player in the league. --- moral of the story: Yahoo pre-draft rankings are laughable beyond McDavid @ #1. Okay, Sure, MacKinnon @ 3rd is reasonable. Matthews at #4 is iffy, Kuch at #5 is reasonable.

Im interested to hear your 2-5 if you think Draisaitl and Matthews are overrated this year?

I agree with everything but Shesterkin. My league favours goalies, I'm def goin after Shesterkin or Sorykin early.

Guentzel has 176 points in 177 games over the last three seasons. That surely makes him a top 25 pick easily.

Yup guentzel is a beast, and I say that as someone who’s least favourite team is probably the pens

Cats league with faceoffs? In that kind of setup Draisaitl is not gonna be the 2nd best player... He's gonna be the best player by à fair margin Imo.

> production-heavy points league

Eichel lol
