[HFNHL Red Wings]

Lundqvist of course

 

[Ohio Jones]

Josh stealing my Cup.

Oh, DRAFT history...


I've gotta admit, Drew's got a good history of turning out steady performers in the mid rounds. If Lundqvist continues to play at the level he did this season, I'd have to agree that he's the best steal going to date.

You don't know how much it pained me to say that.

i'm also going with lundqvist. for the first time in many years the swedes have a real good goalie. and the rangers too never was a fan of richter

 

[Dr.Sens(e)]

Assuming he doesn't pull a Jim Carey, I would agree with Lundqvist

A division rival can only hope...

How about Chris Campoli at 259?

Touche Tony, Touche.

But I would trade Campoli for Trevor Daley and Brad Richardson!

Campoli was still a great find at that point.
I think all the players Martin listed are pretty good steals this late.

As the only ones to yet have made any impact in the HFNHL are Nurminen, Lilja and Wallin, I'd have to say that Nurminen, even if he only played one season for me, had probably the biggest impact so far. I traded him for Joe Corvo, Jim Sharrow and Konstantin Zakharov. Too bad Zakharov didn't pan out, but Corvo is a nice 2-way defenseman while still playing at league minimum and Jim Sharrow is one of ATL's top defensive prospects.

2001 230th overall Andrew Alberts - had a great rookie campaign w/ Boston.
2001 247th overall Jonathon Ferland - had a cup of coffee last season with Montreal and just re-signed with them yesterday.
