Vanek then Richards

Vanek has almost 100 points more with 200+ games less than Brown. I give this to mr. Austrian hockey .

I'm a Sabres fan from Ithaca (where Dustin Brown is from). Having watched a lot of both Vanek and Brown I can confidently say I'd take Brown higher in a draft. Points aren't everything - Dustin Brown is also the NHL's all time career hits leader and captained his team to two cups.

 

[Howe Elbows 9]

Vanek, Richards, Crawford, Brown and Backes are my top 5 at the moment (in no particular order).

I went with Brown. Richards, Vanek, Eriksson, Phaneuf probably all peaked higher, but their peaks were short lived.

Only one of these players is getting a statue...

Went with Corey Crawford. But there's lots of options here.

I'm wondering when Phaneuf should go. Public opinion of him is low because he was an overpaid Maple Leaf. But he was a fantastic player, if you're being objective.

His peak would be somewhere in the top 8 - 10 imo. He was a legit franchise defenceman for a while.

Brown
Richards
Vanek
Backes
Phaneuf

I'd take Crawford here, a good starting goalie should be more important than a middle six winger to a hockey team. I'd take Vanek, Richards, Phaneuf, Enstrom, and Backes before Brown.

 

[Frolov 6'3]

Incredible Vanek is still an option here at spot 15.
