Ah...the wonderful feeling that comes about when you don't own a first-round pick yet somehow end up landing a first-round quality player lol. Very solid snag.

Holy mother of Godson that is one hell of a bag of picks. It makes my rebuild effort look quite pitiful!!
Noone can help but pick Yakupov with the #1.
How deep do you guys think this draft is in general?
In a 14 team league with 30 farm spots (5 goalies max and skaters have ~90 games before they lose their farm eligibility) I have picks #:1,14,50,51,57,71,84,85,100.
My prospect roster (with one empty slot):
Glennie, Markus Granlund, Sheahan, B. Smith, Deslauriers, Nyquist, Tatar, Grachev, Kreider, Mursak, Coyle, Goncharov, Peterson, Palushaj, Ryan Bourque, Jeremy Welsh, F. Hamilton, Kuznetsov, Ouellet (or Quellet if you prefer), Brian Flynn, Huberdeau, Puempel, Beaulieu, Grimaldi, Sateri, Gibson, Lack, Lehner, Stalock.
How many of those picks do you think will be useful/who should I drop?

While searching for advice and opinions on who to draft in my keepers league I stumbled onto this forum and I found this subjuce quite helpfull. I probably didn't pick any differently than I would have otherwise but it was helpfull nonetheless so I created an account just to post the results of our draft.

1 Yakupov
2 Grigorenko
3 Granlund
4 Galchenyuk
5 Tarasenko
6 Kreider
7 Stone
8 Nyquist
9 Bartschie
10 Kuzenetsov
11 Dumba
12 Reilly
13 Teravainen
14 Forsberg

This is for a points only keeper league in year two

Cheers

There are a number of Dobber members in the Canadian Dynasty Hockey League(league in my signature). This draft was for 2012 draftees, plus any prospects (less than 70 games for skaters, less than 35 games for goalies) not currently owned in our league.

I am the Boston Bruins, and at #5 was torn between J.Schultz and T.Teräväinen. During the draft I traded V.Tarasenko and a 2013 4th Rd pick for Teräväinen and R.Strome, so for now at least I have both.

Gaudreau is a Flames prospect. Small but very skilled. The guy who took him is a big Flames fan.
