#3 i'd take Matthews ... Crosby would not go #2, he'd go #4 for me, mostly because of injuries ...
1 - McDavid
2 - Doughty
3 - Matthews
4 - Crosby
5 - not sure ... Eichel maybe? Or maybe Draisaitl?

if everything was "because of injuries", Palmieri would go 1st overall.

What kind of fantasy league takes doughty at third lmao
I honestly might not even take Crosby at 2. His all around game has rounded out to a point where I'd probably take Karlsson or Burns at 2. Getting production from the blueline is a necessity in hockey. You can find scoring forwards in the later rounds of the draft, but there is a huge dip in the production from defensemen after Karlsson, Burns and Hedman.
See I have to think that after McDavid/Crosby you look at a high scoring d-man because those are very rare. You'll always find forward to contribute, but if you can get significant points out of your d-group, that is HUGE in fantasy because most teams wont have that luxury. The spread last year between Burns #1 scoring d-man and #4 was 20 points. Now obviously McDavid skews it a bit, but if you look at Crosby at #2 w/ 89 pts, you'd have to go down #17 to find a 20 point difference.

Definitely not Doughty #2. How would you take him as the #1 D? How would you take him over Crosby, Karlsson? Doughty should be around the 20th player taken. Kane, Kucherov, Mathews, Draisatl, Backstrom, Stamkos, Malkin, Burns, Hedman, Ovechkin should all be taken before Doughty. Probably could name 10 more guys even.

Wow that is very interesting. Definitely changed my mind about not wanting to take a d man with my first pick. Would you take Karlsson or Burns first?
