ATD 2022 Draft Thread II

[TheDevilMadeMe]

First backup goalie taken, right?

Yeah, I wasn't thrilled with breaking the seal on that, but with many picks before my next one, I couldn't risk not getting a top tier backup. Not when I'm pushing the "Bower is great but needs a tandem partner" angle.

Esposito's regular season record really was amazing.

I believe tabness still needs one, though he's openly admitted his opinion of goalies is basically "the hell with them" haha.

 

[tinyzombies]

Am I hearing right that this is in the middle of a playoff series he's saying that? That is some serious praise.

he also gave the universal symbol at the end but he did seem to mean it. That was Sittlers best year 117 pts tho

Yeah, he was my starter last year, and even though it didn't work out for me, in a draft that size, I still think he's an obvious starter. No question in your net. Besides, I think his playoff record would have been better if he hadn't had to be such a workhorse.

Pit Lepine, C

Hoping you manage to assemble some information on Lepine. He's a guy I know very little about.

 

[ImporterExporter]

Let me offer my newspapers.com subscription to anyone who'd like me to at least skim for nuggets on a certain player. It's very easy to search and find pertinent information for most era's though Toronto is still lacking in major publications on that platform.

If you have a request, just shoot me a PM or you can tag me here.

Le soleil, 14 janvier 1945, dimanche 14 janvier 1945:

"“Pit” Lépine, because he played with Morenz and Joliat, was often overlooked as one of the best checkers and pilots of his time."


+++

"“Pit” Lépine was gay and gallant in his time. His salt-and-pepper hair, his idol makeup, his grace, his astonishing two-handed dexterity as a checker made him a dominant figure of the Red, White and Blue."

If you keyword search the "dishing the dirt" thread, I believe there is a fair amount about the best hook checkers, and Lepine is one of them.

Good luck bud! The touching moment might be a great time to slide Helmuts into the naming discussion.

[ImporterExporter]

Roanoke selects

Ralph Backstrom, C

That's a real nice pick for the bottom 6.

Can someone pm next I'm running around.

Got you covered.

 

[Professor What]

Nvm.

 

[Dreakmur]

Well, Gallifrey is certainly going to score a lot of goals, but they're going to need to stop one every now and then too. I think this guy will do an excellent job of that at center, while still chipping in 20-25 (or 41). Ryan Kesler comes on board the TARDIS!

He’s already in Orillia.

 

[Professor What]

He’s already in Orillia.

Sorry. Give me a few.

 

[Professor What]

This guy is best known for a breakout season where he scored 43 goals, but he was particularly adept when his team was down a man (though he still chipped in a few goals of his own throughout his career. Welcome Cooney Weiland aboard the TARDIS!
