I don't know much about NHL but after looking at stats I think Noah Dobson might be the best pick for next ten years
@siggy47 shall be pleased with your selection.
Why @siggy47?
Because he plays for the New York Islanders. They are my favorite team. He is a good choice.
You're from NY?
Yes
Wow! My cousin is staying there and she says it's ultra expensive ! Is it right?
Yes. It is very expensive, especially in New York city. I don't live in the city.
After a bit of search I'll go with Jack Hughes. He'll be a huge huge asset for any team.
Great young player.
Good choice. He is a great player
Artūrs Šilovs
He played well for the Canucks in the playoffs when their other goalies went down but I don't know about a third string goalie as the cornerstone of a franchise. I guess we will see next year when he gets more playing time.
He was also MVP of IIHF Word Championship 2023 (when Latvia won Bronze beating USA).
What about wolfy, guys?
Wolf is a promising young goalie but he has had limited time in NHL so far. I added him because I thought the options should have at least one goalie.
I like golies. They are actually the hardest there. So I picked him!
