Who had the best draft?

Yeah when you walk away with #1 and 2. You essentially win, BUT Vancouver had an excellent draft as well.

I'm happy with my first two picks though. Think I got good value on both of them

Well, long story short. I had written for about an hour on rankings and then lost all my work because the page bugged out on me. So time to condense it without long write ups. Really bummed out, but here we are

1. Winnipeg - Kakko and Hughes, need I say more?
2. Vancouver - SIX total picks in the first 22 picks, more than a fourth our draft between then was Vancouver's.
3. Montreal - Similar to Vancouver, 5 guys in the first 30. I like Boldy to Minnesota, the cupboard is fairly small for them in terms of prospects.
4. Chicago - Dach and then between picks 46 and 67 drafted 4 players. I like Vlasic a lot and could turn into something good like his cousin.
5. Anaheim -Cole Caulfield is your definitely of boom or bust right now, could he be the next Debrincat? Or falter from his height. Broberg I like, I dont like him in Edmonton, I dont trust Edmonton with development right now. Lavioe went where he should have in the actual draft.
6. New Jersey - Trying to put bias Aside I really think Cam York can be at worse a middle pairing PP D man, Heinola goes to a shallow Winnipeg D pool, Misyul could be a nice mid round gem, I know a couple of you were wondering when he would go in our draft.
7. New York R - With each day that goes by, the more I like Alex Newhook, and going to a really good team in Colorado. Vukojevic at 96 could be really good value potentially.
8. Tampa Bay - First pick wasnt until 42 but then had 4 picks quickly by 48, lots of mid tier talent. Could be sneaky good. I also like Hjorth on the back end of the draft
9. Boston - Bobby Brink could have been a 1st round talent, he will probably be someone who proves he should have been. Got Ryan Johnson the last 1st round pick available at 49. Some really solid value. While he didn't have a lot of picks, he made up for in value. Watch for Pitlick to potentially be like his brother and turn into an NHL player after a few years.
10. Dallas - I like Dorofyev I just dont like how early he was picked in our draft. Puistola in international play this year had 22 points in 21 games. Could be real nice if he keeps up development
11. Cleveland - I like Harley, just not in Dallas, everyone on that blueline except polak is under 27 years old. I wanted Beaucage and Mastrosimone, everyone of Sakic's picks seem like they could be something nice.
12. Detriot - I freaked out over Seider, in a bad way when he went, but you gotta trust Yzerman and the Yzerplan. I really like Pinto going to Ottawa, as long as their owner doesn't screw Dorion over he could be building something good.
13. New York I - I like his first 2 picks, Okhotyuk comparable is Anton Volchenkov, who in 700 NHL games scored 133 points, he'll hit a lot, he probably can make the roster but thats about it. Side note: Islanders have some of the best mid to late round scouting in our league, and got Cole Schwindt at #130 (went 49 in the actual draft).
14.Minnesota - Honestly the biggest question mark draft for me, 3 guys taken from the MHL/KHL, could be years before we see these guys. Could easily be the team to jump up if these KHL guys prove themselves.
15. Hartford - Got Dylan Cozens, great! Got Mads Sogaard, great as well! Ashame Ottawa probably has the best goalie prospects in the league at the moment. But hey goalies are voodoo. one of them has to hit right?
16. Edmonton - Only 3 picks, but got potential fantasy god in Byram, Moniyhan I wanted, just didn't think he go 70th in our draft.
17. Colorado - 5 total picks, first one #97, I like Saarela and the fact that he could play with his brother in a couple years in Chicago.
18. Arizona - 5 total picks, first one at pick #107
19. Ottawa - 3 total picks first pick came at #103
20. Nashville - 2 Total picks, already traded away one of them.


And there's the shorten version some pieces are more than others, sorry I didn't make it consistent, now if you'll excuse me I'm going to walk away before I get more upset about the 1st writeup I lost lol.

20. Nashville - 2 Total picks, already traded away one of them.

Lol.

I was just loling. I fully expected to be left out of this.

Similar to what others have said, I'd put me and WPG as the top two. I'm happy with how many top picks I had and who I chose, but WPG getting both Hughes and Kakko probably gives his draft the edge for the time being. There were a lot of fantastic value picks here and there that I liked from numerous teams, notably Bjornfot at 45 to Hartford. It was tons of fun and I can't wait for the season to start.

I'm counting Duchene and Boqvist as draft picks too!!!

When I got to my picks in the 4th, most of the guys I wanted were gone so I figured I'd reach. Had Clark penned in there since before the draft and then just decided to go full homer and take Moynihan instead of Kakkonen.
