Just curious how folks think the first round of this draft might go. Pretty experienced GM's.

If Yahoo rankings were followed this would be the order, just for some comparison:

Stamkos
Malkin
Giroux
Crosby
Ovechkin
Lundqvist
Perry
D. Sedin
Tavares
Quick
Rinne
Parise
Kovalchuk
Kessel

Thanks guys - interesting Bnhershy - makes some sense how you lay out the first 2 rounds - only picks 1-5 without a goalie going into the 3rd round.

Malkin - Neal
Stamkos - Zetterberg
Crosby - Nash
Giroux - Backes
Ovechkin - Gaborik
Perry - Kiprusoff
D. Sedin - Price
Kovalchuk - Rask
Tavares - Miller
Lundqvist - Spezza
Quick - Datsyuk
Rinne - Parise
H.Sedin - Fleury
Karlsson - Howard

Interesting rankings so far. As expected, generally the early picks are more consistent but once you get later in the first and all throughout the second round, there are a lot of options.

Yup - first 5 are pretty much a lock even if the order varies a little. Value clearly defined - and then the options kick in.

Interesting to note both these guys have Perry going in the 6 slot. Kinda have a hard time seeing Dats and Zetts going in the 2nd round, although there is an argument for it.

Yep - I'm curious how people will value those players who had amazing seasons (perhaps a career one) and those who were quite underwheming, but still have plenty in the tank left for a rebound. I don't think there are many poor picks that early though, as it depends on strategy and how it's followed it up in the next few rounds.

I still have a few strategies for my pick at 9 depending on who's chosen from 6-8 and then going forward. Who knows who will be picked between then and pick 20. Should be exciting.

Here is my prediction:

Pick - Round 1 - Round 2
1 - Stamkos - Smith
2 - Malkin - Kessel
3 - Crosby - Fleury
4 - Giroux - Miller
5 - Tavares - Schnieder
6 - Ovechkin - Howard
7 - Quick - Landeskog
8 - Lundqvist - D. Sedin
9 - Kovalchuk - Karlsson
10 - Perry - Kiprusoff
11 - Neal - Price
12 - Rinne - Letang
13 - Parise - Rask
14 - Fleury - Hartnell

Same for me at 10, Brandon. Those mid round picks starting at 6 really do need to be read - have a pretty good idea of what I would like to do, if the draft allows it.

I like this forecast - Horrorfan going without a goalie into the 3rd round. Oh yeah.
