I've got a name that I might force in on the last round just for fun. I really don't know if he qualifies for the category I'd put him in or not, but he can't be any worse than Dave Taylor at power forward.

Gotta go with someone young with my next pick mostly because he is a one team guy.

6.10 Ed Jovanovski (Flo, Van, Pho) - Big Hitter
"Jovanovski is bar none the hardest hitter in the game," Rangers center Mark Messier says. "I saw players on our team come to the bench bent over in pain last season." "I enjoy a good hit more than scoring," Jovanovski says. "You can feel it throughout your body--the sound the rush, the wind leaving another man's body. I'm a frustrated goal scorer, basically. Goal scorers don't want to be hit, but they get to celebrate their goals. I don't get to score every game, so I celebrate this way." -- http://findarticles.com/p/articles/m...20/ai_18775979

Can you believe that after drafting Mikita in the second round, I was already fucked at goalie--with just three teams off the board? Roy was with Colorado, a ton of goalies were with the Hawks, and it seems like every good one outside of that group managed to play one freakin' season with the Bruins. Yeah, strategy in this game has kicked my ass. I was going to pick Taylor as a PF if he had been around. Great pick.

Phaneuf was going to be my hitter if I didn't get Konstantinov.

I had planned on Daneyko at Lockdown defenceman, for some reason I thought he'd be around until the end. I'm really struggling now to find someone for that spot, because aside from the absolutely brilliant ones, those defensive defenceman are hard to remember.
The crazy thing is I still have Montreal and Toronto to work with, so you'd think I'd have all kinds of guys to choose from... but I can't find a good one that didn't also play for one of the other 4 Original Six teams. This draft is awesome

What are the odds we finish this thing today? I'm thinking 5 to 1.

I couldn't think of any "older" hitters so I went with a young player who has played with only one team. He has scored 30 goals this season so at least he's not one dimensional.

My reasoning is that I haven't been taking WHL teams out and I'd like not to start a headache with people complaining that if they would've known that from the beginning they would've selected different.

I purposly read the rules a few times and it doesn't say anywhere yopu can't take non NHLers, it merely says hockey players/ coaches. |

Oh I don't know if he would've done it. We just exchanged a couple of PMs (before he was in the draft), because I was wondering who he had in mind as being shocked that they weren't taken yet. And he mentioned Tretiak as a possible goalie selection in the later rounds. |

The problem with Tretiak is that the rule states:

I was planning to take Tretiak in round 9 (assuming no one else did first). MikeVic alluded to my defense: Bobby Hull is counting against my Winnipeg Jets even though he never played for them in the NHL. And believe me, that's affected my selections to this point (possibly for the better, because I'm certain that guys like Hawerchuk or Numminen mean more to me and MikeVic than they do to everyone else).
