Redrafting the 2016 NHL Draft



The 2016 NHL Draft was full of talent but there would be some change at the top if it was redrafted. NHL Now takes a look at how the draft would shake out if done today.

  1. I don’t know where to rank Matthews anymore…

    because of how poorly he performs in the playoffs.

    If I’m trying to build a team with
    PLAYOFFS
    Success
    in mind…

    It’s

    1- MATTHEW TKACHUK
    2- TAGE THOMPSON
    3- Charlie McAvoy
    4- Matthews
    5- Adam Fox
    6- Alex DeBrincat
    7- Mikhail Sergachev

  2. Matthews is a complete 200 foot player. He's a generational talent. The only one in his draft class

  3. Matthews won't get help when he wants to get paid more than anyone else in league history. He will demand a raise, and will eat up all of cap they need to sign depth.

  4. Fox is really that great that he even won the Vezina trophy haha

  5. Tkachuk willed his team to finals…. so why were they down 3-1 in the 1st rd?, l guess he' started playing better and was the reason why Fla came back against Boston…. and took out the Leafers and the Canes… Bobrovsky had nothing to do with… one player does not make a team

    so in my books if Matthews or Marner want more cash then they're already making l'd say sign and deal them… they're already in cap hell.

    you can't pay half of the cap to players that don't even make up two lines and expect the team to go somewhere in the regular season or the playoffs

  6. So many American players here. Matthews, Tkachuk, Fox, McAvoy, Thompson. The Americans are coming

  7. Just think about Edmonton picking Pulijarvi over Tkachuk. Yikes.

  8. EJ said Matthews needs help and “look at eichel who went from buffalo to vegas.” I guess having the “core four” forwards plus Reilly, adding O’Reilly and Acciari at the deadline wasn’t enough help. What a joke 😂

  9. Man EJ says some goofy things…
    “Jasper Bratt”…
    “Matthews needs some help” (uhhh is Marner, Tavares, Nylander not enough help!?)….
    “Adam Fox has won the Vezina”

  10. Laine has found his game as a Point-Per-Game player in the past two seasons. And this year he was the best Point-Per-Game and Goals-Per-Game player in Columbus for the second year in a row. He was also surprisingly the most solid forward and that includes Gaudreau. That being said, he really really needs to keep healthy and get close to 82 games per season for a few seasons here.

  11. If Nylander, Marner, and Tavares aren't enough to help Matthews in Toronto, I don't know what will be.

  12. if the draft went like it should have oilers said they would of drafted tkachuk that would of been crazy
