Gooningitup 1,290 Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 (edited) Okay so in a STHS Sim GM league i am the GM an own the first overall pick in the upcoming entry draft. I am in a serious rebuild tore down my entire roster this year moving veterans. I am for all intensive purposes the Ottawa Senators of my league. Though my prospects are not as highly touted im probably deeper than they are. My top prospects/young NHLers are like this Klim Kostin Rasmus Andersson Flilp Gustavsson Jake Oeteinger Joesph Veleno Luke Kunin Matt Grzleyk Pierre Oliver Joseph Sean Day Ryan Mcleod Yegor Rykov Ben Gleason Vincent Hinastroza Jayce Hawerlyk Jordan Martinook Noah Gregor As you can see some good assets, but no legit high end players. Veleno, Kostin only guys projecting to potentially be top end players at forward. I have 2 high end goalie prospects, plus Gillies who seems to have bust at this point. I will once again be competing for the 1st overall pick next year, which projects to be franchise center, Alex Lafierrene(sorry for the bad spelling). But its a lottery so i could not win. However if i had Hughes and him would likely have to deal one. Versus if i nabbed Kekko now to get an elite tier winger to play with him. What would you do in my position? Given my current prospect depth and knowing i will be once again in the race for 1st overall.

Jables 73 Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 (edited) Hmm.. that’s tough. The center pool after Lafreniere is deep.. I know Cole Perfetti is a projected elite talent at center (unless it’s different in your sim league) and you could probably snag him if you miss on Lafreniere. Byfield as well. I’d maybe go Kakko. Put him on the other side of Veleno. The center’s are deep the following draft. May not snag a big time wing. I think the best are Holtz and Raymond? Could be wrong about that though.

Our league goes based on who plays well in the NHL. Ratings packages are formed based on how a player performs in the NHL. So if they bust we drafted a bust, if they star we got a star. I admit i havent looked into 2020 much given obviously focus on 2019 draft now Edited May 13, 2019 by Gooningitup Link to comment https://vhlforum.com/topic/62658-jack-hughes-or-kappo-kekko/#findComment-620096 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jables 73 Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 (edited) Got ya. Well yeah I still stand by that then. Those guys behind Lafreniere are top 10 picks, and with Perfetti’s production this season, won’t be surprised if he’s a top 5 by the time the 2020 draft rolls around. Kakko will get you quicker success I believe, as he’ll be more acclimated to playing against men. Hughes may take a couple months to get used to it but should be pretty damn good as well. Also watching the USA vs Finland matchup today... Kakko is realllll good. And if you take Kakko and turns out to be the lesser of the two, then you can blame me. But they’ll both be good. Can’t go wrong with either. So I say Kakko.

Jables 73 Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 Or you can maybe try to trade down to number two and stack up on an extra first round pick next season. Let the team behind you choose one of the two and you take the other. Not sure if they’d do that, but it’s worth a shot. They may favor one of the two.

But you did give me a good idea to prescout the projected top 10 for next year to give me a clearer picture on who i could land Jables 1 Link to comment https://vhlforum.com/topic/62658-jack-hughes-or-kappo-kekko/#findComment-620118 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jables 73 Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 Yeah, man. 2020 draft is mad deep. You’ll get someone good for sure. Link to comment https://vhlforum.com/topic/62658-jack-hughes-or-kappo-kekko/#findComment-620119 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gooningitup 1,290 Posted May 25, 2019 Author Share Posted May 25, 2019 (edited) So i have been tabled 2 very serious offers for 1st overall. 1st offer 3rd OV, 13th OV, one of Adam Fox/Nick Hagg 2nd offer Carter Hart, Noah, Dobson,27th OV. Unsure i wanna take either but they are serious enough to make it interesting. Hart would be a franchise goalie off the hop for me, Dobson has top end upside, late first will be okay. Or move down 2 spots grab Byram(who id target). 13th which would be a good winger ideally, and Fox/Hagg so another good dman prospect Edited May 25, 2019 by Gooningitup Link to comment https://vhlforum.com/topic/62658-jack-hughes-or-kappo-kekko/#findComment-624939 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jables 73 Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 Hmm... idk if you should pass on Hughes or Kakko. Maybe you’ll be able to snag Spencer Knight later in the draft to be your goalie of the future.
