In my continuing attempts to be the black sheep of the ATD, I'm going to do something that I believe is without precedent.
With the second overall pick, the Nanaimo Clippers are extremely pleased to select
RW Gordie Howe.
I place a tremendous amount of value in being able to play at both ends of the rink, and Gordie is the best forward in history at doing so and makes up for his 'shortcomings' offensively compared to the alternative. His combination of dominance, longevity, consistency, durability, and goal scoring is too much to pass up.
