H_B has the early lead for my vote

Pumpy Tudors · 03-12-2008, 09:38 AM

Picks coming from me within half an hour.

Pumpy Tudors · 03-12-2008, 09:49 AM

Errr... isn't it Logan's turn?

Logan · 03-12-2008, 10:06 AM

Yep, I'm here...coming up in a minute.

Lathum · 03-12-2008, 10:16 AM

heading to school, I'll be back within an hour or so to make my pick

Logan · 03-12-2008, 10:19 AM

3.11 - Clark Gillies (Power Forward) - Islanders, Sabres

The prototypical power forward. Playing alongside two guys already selected in this draft, Gillies notched at least 31 goals in 4 straight seasons. He was a goal-scorer, a solid skater, and an enforcer. Won 4 Cups with the Isles and is in the Hall of Fame.

Pumpy Tudors · 03-12-2008, 10:23 AM

BTW, Logan, my posts were just a little confused because bsak sent me a message asking me to pick. So I said I'd have them in half an hour, but then I noticed that it wasn't even my turn. So it's bsak's fault, not mine!

Logan · 03-12-2008, 10:25 AM

Sinner. Now go ahead and pick. I guarantee you take my guy cause I'm an idiot.

Pumpy Tudors · 03-12-2008, 10:40 AM

OK, I don't have much time to actually post about my picks, so I'll just name them:

3.12 - Mats Sundin (Captain) - Quebec, Toronto

4.1 - Rob Ray (Enforcer) - Buffalo, Ottawa

Logan · 03-12-2008, 10:41 AM

Frumpy Poopers, hurry up...I'm sharing a LAN line with someone and they're giving me dirty looks as I keep hitting "refresh" while saying "I'll be done in a minute."

Oh, go get swept out of the playoffs or whatever it is you Rangers people do.

Logan · 03-12-2008, 10:45 AM

Ah shit I messed up...can't take the guy I was planning on. One minute please...

Logan · 03-12-2008, 10:51 AM

4.2 - Brett Hull (sniper) - Calgary, St. Louis, Dallas, Detroit, Phoenix

Five teams is tough, but he is one of the greats. 741 goals, including a three season stretch of 72, 86, and 70. And he has the distinction of coming directly from the testicles of a guy already selected in this draft.

Honolulu_Blue · 03-12-2008, 10:58 AM

4.3 - Sidney Crosby (playmaker) - Pittsburgh Penguins

He was the first pick of the 2005 NHL Entry Draft and one of the leading scorers during the 2005-06 NHL season, finishing 6th in scoring with 102 points (39 goals, 63 assists). By capturing his first Art Ross Trophy with 120 points (36 goals, 84 assists) in the 2006-07 NHL season, he became the youngest player and the only teenager ever to win a scoring title in any major North American sports league. That same season, Crosby also became just the seventh player in NHL history to win the Hart Trophy, Art Ross Trophy, and Lester B. Pearson Award in the same season—thus earning all three highest individual honours for an NHL forward in only his second year as a professional hockey player.

Lathum · 03-12-2008, 11:06 AM

4.4 Bob Probert- Enforcer- Detroit, Chicago

The guy was an absolute fearless beast. 3300 career penalty minutes. 283 fights in 16 seasons and a record of 157-50-59. Hi fights with Tie Domi are the things of legands. Plus he only played for 2 teams, very rare for a thug.

Maple Leafs · 03-12-2008, 11:07 AM

Oh, is that what an enforcer is supposed to do?

Shit.

MikeVic · 03-12-2008, 11:19 AM

You don't have to win fights to be an Enforcer.

Maple Leafs · 03-12-2008, 11:23 AM

No! I was hoping good, ole Uncle Probie would last at least another round or two.

I though I was getting alot of value there. Great name recognition and only played for 2 teams.

TazFTW · 03-12-2008, 11:47 AM

4.5 Eddie Shore, lockdown defenseman (Boston Bruins)

DeToxRox · 03-12-2008, 11:53 AM

Bah. Shore was my guy

Dr. Sak · 03-12-2008, 12:06 PM

Chief Rum Selects..

4.6 Scott Niedermayer (Defensive Defenseman)

New Jersey and Anaheim

Maple Leafs · 03-12-2008, 12:38 PM

Great pick. Very questionable categorization.

MikeVic · 03-12-2008, 12:41 PM

I could've sworn Neidermayer was an offensive defenseman.

Logan · 03-12-2008, 12:43 PM

I agree.

Pumpy Tudors · 03-12-2008, 12:48 PM

Maple Leafs is like this draft's version of Nelson Mandela or whatever that "ha ha" kid from The Simpsons is named.

MikeVic · 03-12-2008, 12:48 PM

I agree.

MikeVic · 03-12-2008, 12:49 PM

Hey, Niedermayer was drafted by the Leafs? And traded for Tom Curvers? Who's Tom Curvers?

I think Tom Curvers invented the illegal hockey stick.

Fidatelo · 03-12-2008, 01:23 PM

I can't wait until this is over and we can start discussing things bit more. I've seen some pretty curious picks (from my viewpoint) that I'd be intersted in hearing the reasoning behind (unless its a simple "I forgot about that guy!", which is no fun).

Most of my picks are either "I forgot about that guy!" or "Leave me alone, I'm from Louisiana!"

Same except for the Louisiana part.

Suburban Rhythm · 03-12-2008, 01:56 PM

Sergei Zubov - offensive D (DAL, PIT, NYR)

Maple Leafs · 03-12-2008, 02:04 PM

4.8 - Jarome Iginla, power forward (CAL)

MikeVic · 03-12-2008, 02:07 PM

So power forwards don't need power now? I'd put Iginla as offensive D.

Oilers9911 · 03-12-2008, 03:05 PM

Except that Iginla isn't a defenseman.

Oilers9911 · 03-12-2008, 03:07 PM

4.9 - Serge Savard - Lockdown Defenseman - Montreal Canadiens

Shoulda taken Stephane Quintal there.

Pumpy Tudors · 03-12-2008, 03:12 PM

I wish it was my turn so I could take Deron Quint.

Oilers9911 · 03-12-2008, 03:15 PM

Gah, asleep at the switch.

I think many times the answer will be "taking the other guy would've messed up what I had planned for other picks because of the team elimination part."

I hope so, cuz there are some guys that are still out there that are just blowing my mind.

Lathum · 03-12-2008, 04:06 PM

It's tough to take a guy who has played for more then 3 teams.

Dr. Sak · 03-12-2008, 04:07 PM

I have bub's picks...just waiting on DeTox
