2015 Draft Discussion

[The BBKL Insider]

Ii just bought THN draft guide on iTunes for $1.19

[thom54]

Who should I take 3rd overall?

If I'm you Strome and Hanifin are far and away the only two I would consider taking at that spot. With Strome comes a fairly certain immediate impact, as I would be absolutely shocked if he doesn't crack the Coyotes/Leafs. Hanifin is a little more difficult to predict, he may end up being the more valuable BBKL asset, but how soon that impact comes is hard to predict. As a prospect I like him more than Ekblad in terms of long-term projections, but i question if he will be able to step right in as quickly as he did.

Yea I'd say between these two at 3rd spot.

Or just trade it to me. I'll take Crouse so you feel okay

A high hitting, high SHTOI, scoring winger like Crouse projects to be. He really is a can't miss BBKL beast, him going as high as 3 actually wouldn't surprise me that much.

Offensively yea there is some significant grey area. But one way or another he should be a periph beast, don't see that potential bottoming out too much.

[bills09]

Crouse is not in the top 5
I'd take him at 6 though unless I was looking D

[lightupdadarkness]

I wouldn't say that. Bbk draft differs than actual NHL and talk of him around 5 or so in real life so we will see. Gonna b interesting

[Arian The Insider]

Crouse is the most overrated prospect in the draft

[Matthew]

Crouse is the most overrated prospect in the draft

Care to explain why you think this?

[bills09]

Odds are he'll be another Tyler Biggs than the next Lucic

[Arian The Insider]

He is not as talented as his projections, simple as that. Great prospect but ranked too high in most rankings

[Arian The Insider]

Meant to say he is not as talented as the players he's projected over in a lot of rankings. On the app and can't edit

[Handsome&FairMike]

Crouse = gauthier

[The BBKL Insider]

I bet crouse falls

[bills09]

Should still go top 10 in bbkl

Yup. It's not bad. Worth about what I paid for it

[Lee]

A reason to hold onto your draft picks:

The pick that will become Jack Eichel was traded for Anton Stralman, Matt Bartkowski and Anton Khudobin in 3 separate deals.

[Tony]

Meh, Stralman not a bad return. At the time I didn't think Billy would be anywhere near a top 5 pick. Oh well.

[kimmer]

in PBFL I traded 2015 1st rounder (CHI) which finished the season 14th last... 1% chance at lottery 1st overall... I used that pick + Trouba to get Ekblad + small piece

Come draft lottery at PBFL.... WHICH PICK WINS MCDAVID?... 2015 1st rounder (CHI)

u kidding me

FYI that was franks team's pick too LOL
