All-time draft

[John Flyers Fan]

how long have we waited for mac

Mac has about 7 hours remaining.

 

[Spitfire11]

Nice pick Mac, Durnan was the goalie I was planning on taking, he also accomplished all that in only 7 seasons.

 

[Leaf Lander]

The Maple Leafs extensively searched for a left winger
and decided to go with one of our own

We are proud to select a former #1 pick Overall
a former Maple Leaf Team Captain
and past great for our Franchise​

#17 Wendel Clark ​

 

[Oiler94]

The Colorado Rockies are pleased to announce their 7th pick of the draft.

From Paris, Ontario, Syl Apps

 

[Frightened Inmate #2]

#17 Wendel Clark

Thats a pretty weak pick if you ask me, he was a good player but there is no way in hell that he was a top 100 player of all time.

he'll play well with gilmour get 50 goals
his prime years were b4 gilmou r arrived wendel was already pretty beaten up by 1993 and he was just 26

 

[GB]

The Montreal Canadiens select, from Montreal, Hall of Fame right winger:

Rod Gilbert ​

I'll PM learning to fly.

Liam

 

[Dr Love]

How do you figure he'll get 50 when his season high was 43, and that was his only 40+ goal season? Clark is a nice player, but I agree with Maxwell, you picked him way too high. 6 30+ goal seasons and only 1 season of more than 60 points. Nice playoff stats, but that's about it.

edit: looked at the stats wrong

 

[BM67]

I agree Wendel probably shouldn't have been picked, or at least not till near the last round, but he does bring more than just scoring. Thing I find interesting is GW made a top 50 + players list and I see at least 4 undrafted lws on that list, and there's a Leaf HOF lw available.

 

[The G Man]

I guess with Wendell he could play LW and in theory D giving him some added value.

 

[Leaf Lander]

wendel in his prime would do well with gilmour in his prime

Its a dream team

I almost took andreychuk

Im going after as many leafs as I can get

If clark came to a stacked leafs club Im sure his #'s would be even better.

Reg Season 793 330 234 564 1690 Playoffs 95 37 32 69 201

don't forget Clark is the best player to be picked out of the 1985 draft! and a former #1 overall!

 

[Frightened Inmate #2]

Joe Nieuwendyk, Mike Richter, Bill Ranford, Igor Larionov, and maybe even Sean Burke would rate higher than Clarke if you ask me.

 

[John Flyers Fan]

Learning_to_fly has just 1 hour remaining.

1:30 PM est

Herby will be up next.

 

[Leaf Lander]

wendel is 36 if only he would make a come back and silence his critics and mine

 

[John Flyers Fan]

24 hours is up, Herby is now on the clock.


Learning_to_Fly can make his pick at anytime. If it becomes his pick again and he has not shown up we will have to decide what to do.

 

[KillToronto]

The Philadelphia Flyers select from Quebec City

Joe Malone

One of the great goal scorers of all time, including the epic year of 1917-18. 44 goals in just 20 games.

This is the ultimate steal of this draft. Bar none.

 

[KillToronto]

And why hasn't anybody chosen the God of russian hockey, Boris Mikhailov yet?

 

[Herby]

Los Angeles Kings select....from Brantford, ONT. Winger Bill Cook.

 

[Frightened Inmate #2]

Well I don't know if Joe Malone can be considered a steal, I was considering taking him earlier but the game of hockey was much different back then (a time only Gee Wally can recall). What the hell is a rover?

 

[Lard_Lad]

What the hell is a rover?

A rover was usually the best player on his team, and pretty much played all over the ice, wherever the puck went, hence the name.

And yeah, it was very different in Malone's day. The rover was gone by then, but there was no forward passing allowed outside the neutral zone.

 

[Evil Sather]

Back in the day, there were 6 skaters plus the goalie, 2 on D, 3 Forwards, and a rover, who I guess could be considered the 3rd Defenseman.

 

[Leaf Lander]

whos the most famous rover ever?

ok name asmany as you can

and was Paul Coffey like a rover?


we had rovers in pond hockey they were the ones wh o got the puck when it went of the frog pond

 

[BM67]

whos the most famous rover ever?

Cyclone Taylor or Hobey Baker.

 

[JDB3939]

The Pittsburgh Penguins select Boris Mikhailov

 

[BM67]

The Devils are proud to select two Hart Trophy winners.

Nels Stewart

and

Andy Bathgate

Stewart, "Old Poison", was the first scoring leader to win the Hart in 1926. He led the league in goals and was second in PIM. He set what was then the record for PIM with 133 in 1927.

Bathgate won the Hart in 1959, after being second in voting in 58. He tied Bobby Hull for the scoring lead in 62, and finished second to Gordie Howe in 63.
