@Dr Pepper I can't wait any longer. You're up.

Larry Robinson, D​

 

[Dr Pepper]

Bryan Trottier, C

@Keith Tkachuk

 

[Say Hey Kid]

@Dr Pepper Thanks! My first pairing looks solid.

​

“He was such a fierce competitor that nothing was going to stop him. He was just going to be out there to do anything he could to help his team to win.”

—- Hall of Famer Scott Niedermayer on Chelios

 

[Dr Pepper]

Paul Coffey, D

@Keith Tkachuk

 

[Say Hey Kid]

@Dr Pepper My D is pretty good so far.

Bobby Clarke, C​

 

[Dr Pepper]

Mike Bossy, RW

@Keith Tkachuk

 

[Say Hey Kid]

@Dr Pepper Good job. Bossy was the BPA. I'll make my next pick Friday.

​

In just about any other era, Brad Park would have been considered the best defenseman of his generation.

​

 

[Dr Pepper]

Thanks, I'm just glad Bossy wasn't on the "don't draft" list!

Steve Yzerman, C

@Keith Tkachuk

 

[Say Hey Kid]

@Dr Pepper Pick 1

​

Nine times he was an All-Star, eight of those selections to the First Team. Such a combination, in such a small, powerful package, hadn't been seen in the National Hockey League before the arrival of Terrible Ted Lindsay, and it hasn't been seen since.

 

[Dr Pepper]

Joe Sakic, C

@Keith Tkachuk

 

[Say Hey Kid]

@Dr Pepper Sakic was the BPA.

Pierre Pilote, D

@Dr Pepper

Valeri Kharmalov, LW
​

“He was fast and so hard to defend against out there. I admired the way he kept everyone on their toes. He was simply outstanding.”

—Don Awrey, Team Canada ‘72

 

[Dr Pepper]

Terry Sawchuk, G

@Keith Tkachuk

 

[Say Hey Kid]

@Dr Pepper

Dickie Moore, LW
​

Moore was among the NHL's best shooters and puckhandlers - an aggressive player whose robust style of play earned him the nickname "Digging Dickie.

Toe Blake, LW

@Keith Tkachuk

 

[Say Hey Kid]

@Dr Pepper

Bob Gainey, LW
​

“I consider Gainey the world's best all-around player.”

[Dr Pepper]

Brendan Shanahan, LW

@Keith Tkachuk

 

[Say Hey Kid]

@Dr Pepper Have a great weekend!

Martin Brodeur, G
​

“He's going to go out as the greatest goaltender, if not one of the greatest goaltenders ever without question. I don't think that's disputable.”

—- Former Devils General Manager and Hockey Hall of Fame Honoured Member Lou Lamoriello

 

[Dr Pepper]

Scott Stevens, D

@Keith Tkachuk

 

[Say Hey Kid]

@Dr Pepper Pick 1

Henri Richard, C
​

The only individual to have his name on the Stanley Cup 11 times as a player. Incredibly, he played on a Stanley Cup winner in more than half the seasons he played.

 

[Dr Pepper]

Tim Horton, D

@Keith Tkachuk

 

[Say Hey Kid]

@Dr Pepper Pick 2

​

“When Peter was on top of his game and was playing like he could, there wasn't anyone like him.”

—- Former teammate with the Colorado Avalanche Adam Deadmarsh on Forsberg
