Pretty sure my rebuild is going solid enough. You do you and I’ll continue to do me
I’ll gladly take one of power + beniers/Clarke/Hughes over whoever at 7 and 20, 24, 30. Everyone been crying how bad draft is after top handful anyways lol.
If there`s one thing I have learned about this draft is that nobody knows what level of talent is available due to lack of scouting.
If there`s one thing I have learned about this league is that you need depth more than elite talent to win anything, but having elite talent that is severely underpaid (cough, Mackinnon and Marchand, cough) is of course amazing.
But like you said - you do you. I think Kimmer made a real smart move to trade the 1OV. 7 still gets you a great player who could easily be as good as #1 and then three additional 1st rounders. Great way to add depth to his rebuild. I would have done the exact same thing in his shoes.
When you have 7 first round picks you can afford to do what I just did.
Afford to, sure. Time will tell if it was the Smart thing to do though. Certainly a potential franchise defining move.
It’s not like I just blew all my draft capital and all I have is the #1 overall.
1, 3, 18, 19 and then three seconds including two in the top 10 of the 2nd round and then multiple 3rds as well. This was my plan all along.
I’m also not necessarily right at the start of my rebuild where quantity is important. I have a pretty solid prospect pool as it is and I’m still adding 9 picks in the first three rounds to it including #1 and #3 which will be Power and one of Hughes/Clarke/Beniers

^ While I agree that in most drafts quality is more important than quantity, I just disagree that this is the draft to do so. You still walk away with a hell of a haul, there's no denying that.

Kyle had a lot of 1st round picks so he's using some of those to get him that top pick when the lottery didn't go his way. I don't blame him for doing it if there's a player at the top of this draft he really wants.
I think the only justification to give up multiple picks for this top pick would be the fact that he didn't trade all of his 1st round picks. He's got the #1 plus others.

I'll get fired up after the expansion draft is over and we can make trades again.
I'm on the look out for reliable draft guides. We'll probably need some this year.

For where I'm picking, I just want to read some scouting reports. Rankings will be all over the place.

What happens if you get a late 3rd talent with your late 1st pick?

He will ask for a top 10 pick for them

It doesn't happen. I'm the greatest drafter.

Yup, it's fast approaching. I'll get the first round draft order finalized after the recent trades. I do have Boston in their proper spot in the order.

I didn't know what time we want to start today but the selection thread is unlocked and I made it a global announcement so you'll see that thread everywhere.
As usual, please PM the next team up in the draft to help keep things moving along. I'll try to do updates to the thread and trades nightly.
