Redraft Rules:
- Only go back 5 years (I'm too lazy to do all)
- Only the first 2 rounds (Once again I'm too lazy to do all)
- Can only draft 5 spots lower (if the pick is 13th you can only pick between 13-18)
- No UFAs (to keep things clear)
2016
Original: Jake Bean(13) -> New: Charlie McAvoy(14) | McAvoy is the obvious choice here with the only other play I would pick being Chychrun, who is still a good pick
Original: Julien Gauthier(21) -> New: Max Jones(25) | A pretty weak section imo, but Max Jones is definitely the best option
Original: Janne Kuokkanen(43) -> New: Samuel Girard(47) | Might be recency bias but I would take Girard over the 2nd best option in Carter Hart
2017
Original: Martin Necas(12) -> New: Martin Necas(12) | Nick Suzuki is a good choice, but I think they are close enough that I will keep Necas
Original: Eetu Luostarinen(42) -> New: Alexandre Texier(45) | I rough section but Alexandre Texier is the best option by far
Original: Luke Martin(52) -> New: Ian Mitchell(57) | Ian Mitchell is the best player here IMO, but Studnicka would also be better than Martin who didn't get an offer
2018
Original: Andrei Svechnikov(2) -> New: Andrei Svechnikov(2) | I'd keep Svechinkov and the only player I would think twice about is Brady Tkachuk
Original: Jack Drury(42) -> New: Jack Drury(42) |We are entering the unknown, so I'd keep Drury
2019
Original: Ryan Suzuki(28) -> New: Ryan Suzuki(28) | A couple of decent prospects in this range in Shane Pinto and Arthur Kaliyev, but I'd just stick with Suzuki
Original: Pyotr Kochetkov(36) -> New: Nils Höglander(40) | Höglander is the obvious choice here being the best of the bunch
Original: Jamieson Rees(44) -> New: Jamieson Rees(44) | Too early to judge. Keep Rees
2020
Too early to judge. I would keep all original picks
