All-Time Draft #12, Part IV

[arrbez]

Jebus, with just 2 picks ahead of me and 11 hours before I had to leave, I thought for sure I'd get my pick off.

Who can take a two-player list?

[Reds4Life]

Steelers select Gary Bergman, D

 

[seventieslord]

Nice. He was one of two I was considering as my team's #7. Here's hoping one of you doesn't reach to get the other defenseman I think should make his big draft debut.

I know who you mean.

Arrbez selects Jack Laviolette

Good pick.

Steelers select Gary Bergman, D

Even better pick.

 

[hfboardsuser]

Soemone tell me if I'm wrong that this guy is available....

C Troy Murray

 

[pitseleh]

The Clippers select C Doug Weight.

Weight has 6 top-10s in assists (4, 5, 5, 7, 8, 10) and a top-10 in points.

 

[Johnny Engine]

Going to pick center Bob Bourne. Bio later.

Toros select LW Marc Tardif.

 

[Leafs Forever]

Going to pick center Bob Bourne. Bio later.

[Dreakmur]

Taken, I believe:

365 overpass - Renfrew Millionaires - Bob Bourne, C/LW

Change that to Red Berenson please.

[MadArcand]

Crazy, I expected my pick to be up when I get here in Germany and yet I come and it barely moved.

Oh yeah and I'll be here for two weeks, so expect an increased frequency of drunk pick from me. Tho at current rate, I'll be lucky to pick twice in next two weeks...

 

[seventieslord]

The Clippers select C Doug Weight.

Weight has 6 top-10s in assists (4, 5, 5, 7, 8, 10) and a top-10 in points.

Excellent pick. He never gets taken where he should. He has been tops on my list for 4th-line centers forever.

Bergman's a terrific third pairing guy. Never won a Cup, but he played his best hockey in a best-of best-on-best in 1972. The nice thing about him is he doesn't have a weakness. From an ATD perspective, he doesn't stand out at anything, but he does everything well. He skates well. He's tough. He's solid in his own zone. He moves the puck well. His character - an important trait for a No. 5 or 6 - is excellent, too.

Yeah, Bergman was our #2 rated defenseman left. We have just one guy ahead of him. Fingers crossed...

 

[JFA87-66-99]

Arrbez selects Jack Laviolette

This is who I was going to take. nice Pick!

 

[God Bless Canada]

This is who I was going to take. nice Pick!

And so who will you take?

 

[JFA87-66-99]

And so who will you take?

give me a few minutes I just walked in the door

 

[JFA87-66-99]

Finally after much debate the Victoria Cougars select D Ian Turnbull

 

[God Bless Canada]

I think we're going to be the first to pick a back-up goaltender, and he's a doozy. The perennial raleh favourite: G Hugh Lehman.

We expect to give Lehman about 30 to 35 starts (or about 40 per cent of the starts) this season. He was a big-time star in the old west coast leagues, and last ATD was the first time that raleh hasn't had him. We wanted to be sure to get him now, rather than take a chance that he gets picked prior to our selection in 18 as part of a run on back-ups.

 

[seventieslord]

Nothing wrong with taking him this early. he was probably the 2nd-best goalie available at this point.
