Haven't really been following after the top 5 were picked, but saw you guys on 17 already, so thought I'd pop in to see where Gawdin was ranked... and I can't believe he hasn't even been picked yet.
How do you guys rank players whose ceiling might be 2nd line, but floor is down the street pumping gas over a guy who ceiling is 3rd line, but floor is 4th line? I get that a second line ceiling is flashier than a 3rd line ceiling, but feel free to ask any prospect on the planet if they'd rather be playing on the 4th line in the NHL or down the street pumping gas.
Scenario: You're a college student looking at two offers from the best company on the planet to work for in your chosen field...
- After a 3 month probationary period, the first offer is a 20% chance at an 80k salary, but an 80% chance you won't even get a permanent postion.
- After the same 3 month probationary period, the second offer is a lower position with a 20% chance at a 70k salary, but an 80% chance at a an even lower poisition at a 60k salary.
Considering you're fresh out of college, it seems to me like the second offer is infinitely better than the first.
