if he’s availible, you might want to go with Perry, scoring winger to go along with Malkin. I don’t see any “Must have” d-men availible, so I would go

pick 2 Perry, Pick 3 goalie (Turco, Price, Smith)

2nd Round Pick

I’d definitely go with Perry in the 2nd. I wish we could actually get him in real life.

… like I said in the other thread, go with Pekka Rinne in the 2nd round.

you won’t find a starting goaltender or top player at their position for cheaper. .917 save percentage / 7 shoutouts on a non playoff team trumps the accomplisments of any of those other guys.

Pekka Rinne

Went 4 picks ahead of us. I was definitely headed in that direction though.

I think Corey Perry is a more established player.

He should provide us with better numbers in a simulation.

Goalies

It looks like most of the teams have been going after goalies but I think we can wait until the 3rd to pick up the best goalie of what is remaining.

alright then...

with Rinne and some others gone, the best picks left are (according to GVT)…

1. David Krejci
2. Jonas Hiller
3. Patrick Elias
4. Mark Streit
5. Brian Rafalski
6. Dennis Wideman
7. Rob Blake
8. Shea Weber
9. Jamie Langenbrunner
10. Jason Blake

I’d say pick Jonas Hiller in the 2nd round and either David Krejci or Mark Streit depending on whether we want a “stud” defenceman or not in the 3rd…
