Master Mind Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 This is where is gets tough. Went with Stamkos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Down by the River Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 Ilya Kovalchuk? Cepr must still be on this board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crackers Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 This whole doesn't make sense. They are all different ages, so you should specify how this works a little bit more. Are we drafting them at their current ages, in which case, who would draft anyone before 2000, as they are all so old at this point. Are we drafting them at the age they were during their draft year. If so, why hasn't Connor McDavid or Alex Daigle been picked yet? Also, Bias from knowing which player will become what in their career will influence our choices. Are we drafting them as they were during their prime? Some players on this list haven't played a game in the NHL. This is nonsensical no matter which way you do this, and therefore, it's a pretty pointless idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghostsof1915 Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 Ekblad. 5th on the team in scoring (And he's a D-man!) Best +/- on the team at +12 39 points for a rookie season. 109 Hits 4 GWG 170 shots When you get a D-man this good, in his first season at 18 then 19. Usually D-men take a while to develop. Great start to this kids career. I think he's going to be an amazing talent! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MusclePharm Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 If we are basing it off of potential for Mcdavid then I would choose him since he has the potential to be as good if not better than Crosby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Langdon Algur Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 Easy one for me, Stamkos for sure and not just because of how dominate he is this playoffs more because of his two Rocket trophies and multiple 100+ point seasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psycho_Path Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 Ya I'm not sure how you can pick a guy like Modano over McDavid. I'd definitely go with McDavid. Barring injury, he will be one of the top point producers to play the game in this era, if not the top - even on a team like Edmonton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Picking McDavid over Modano is beyond stupid because he could be Daigle. Whereas we know what Modano can and what he did do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psycho_Path Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 If you've watched McDavid play, you'd know he won't become a Daigle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TOMapleLaughs Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 If you've watched McDavid play, you'd know he won't become a DaigleYeah, but even Daigle should not have become a Daigle. These things are hard to predict, while we know what Modano did. Modano was pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asian player Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 If we're picking them based on what they are as a prospect, then McDavid, Daigle should be gone very early. If we're judging them on accomplishments like what we did with Modano, Sundown, etc. then McDavid should be last Anyways, I went with McDavid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrJockitch Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 It is hard to forget how bad of a failure Daigle was but even then he wasn't regarded as the best prospect of that year. He was a bit of a reach. McDavid is probably the biggest hyped prospect since Crosby and Lindros. As far as pure pre-draft rankings he probably should have been in the top three. Stamkos who is currently winning this poll didn't have half the hype of McDavid or even Eichel for that matter. Very well regarded but nothing like where McDavid is ranked. I think if you looked at pure pre-draft rankings and hype it is probably actually Lindros, McDavid, Crosby. Though you could easily flip Lindros to third on the list after the interview especially when his dad tried to run the whole thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
