[Hawkey Town 18]

There are better players on the board, but I can't turn down having one of this guy and Orr on the ice for a great majority of the game...

The Chicago Blackhawks select Paul Coffey, D

next PMd

 

[ResilientBeast]

The Washington Capitals select perhaps the greatest pure goal scorer to ever play in the NHL with th 18th overall selection Mike Bossy, RW

The Washington Capitals also select another incredible goal scorer and physical force, with the 19th overall selection Alexander Ovechkin, LW

 

[Hawkey Town 18]

Was hoping to snag Ovechkin with this pick...instead I'll take the other elite LW in this draft...the Chicago Blackhawks select Valeri Kharlamov, LW

Playing next to Messier should drastically reduce the number of cheap shots he sees


Next PMd

 

[Elvis P]

The Detroit Red Wings select G Martin Brodeur. Next pmed.

 

[tony d]

Brodeur, Ovechkin boy you guys sure know how to scoop.

[King Forsberg]

I'll solidify my top pairing and add some nastiness to go along with Clarke. Welcome to the Phantoms, D, Chris Chelios

 

[tony d]

Makes my decison easier, with my pick #23 in the PTD, the Senators select defenseman Brad Park

 

[Hawkey Town 18]

Chelios was the best Dman on the board back when I took Coffey, but I opted for Coffey to create the problem for my opponents of having to gameplan for two offensive freaks on the blueline on separate pairings.

Philly is a defensive monster so far with Roy, Bourque, Chelios, and Clarke

 

[King Forsberg]

I figured whoever I didn't pick between Park and Chelios would be gone very shortly. I just couldn't pass up the thought of Chelios and Clarke hacking away at other teams every other shift.

I think you made the right choice...IMO Chelios was the better player of the two, but even if you consider them even, Chelios being a RHS fits better next to Bourque.

Also not surprised to see Park go shortly after...he was the last remaining of a tier. Both good picks

 

[Boreal01]

With the 24th overall pick, the New York Islanders select Al MacInnis, D.

 

[Boreal01]

And with the 25th overall pick, the New York Islanders select Zdeno Chara, D.

 

[tony d]

With the 26th overall pick Ottawa selects Goalie Ken Dryden

Next pmed

 

[King Forsberg]

I'll add some offense with the 27th pick

RW, Sergei Makarov

 

[ResilientBeast]

How about you all just stop picking and let me have who i want.

Chara, Makarov, Brodeur, Dryden, Park and Chelios

 

[Elvis P]

The Detroit Red Wings select RW Teemu Selanne. Next pmed.

 

[Hawkey Town 18]

IMO the gap between the 5th and 6th goaltenders in this draft is the largest one player gap among goaltenders, therefore, the Chicago Blackhawks select Vladislav Tretiak, G

Next PMd

Perhaps among all players.

Sadly

 

[ResilientBeast]

With the 30th pick, the Washington Capitals select, Scott Stevens, D

With the 31st pick, the Washington Capitals select another wrecking ball to center Ovechkin in
Peter Forsberg, C

 

[ResilientBeast]

Perhaps among all players.

I think left wingers might be able to claim that too honestly.

Ovechkin
Kharlamov



The rest

This time period is not kind to left wingers

 

[Hawkey Town 18]

The Chicago Blackhawks select Steve Yzerman, C

 

[King Forsberg]

I'm surprised Yzerman lasted this long. I probably would have picked him if he was still there.

 

[tony d]

Yes, had Yzerman lasted to my pick I would have very easily picked him.
