The Detroit Red Wings select RW Jari Kurri. Next pmed.

 

[King Forsberg]

Give me a minute. I was gonna pick Kurri here.

 

[King Forsberg]

Ehhh why not. D, Chris Pronger

 

[tony d]

But I wanted Pronger.

Oh well start off my 2nd line with one of my all time favourites in Centre Marcel Dionne.

Next has been pmed.

 

[King Forsberg]

We must like the same players because almost every player you've picked has been in my top three when I'm picking.

 

[Boreal01]

With the 36th overall pick, the New York Islanders select Brett Hull, RW.

 

[Boreal01]

And with the 37th overall pick, the New York Islanders select Sidney Crosby, C.

 

[tony d]

With Pick 38 the Senators select defenseman Brian Leetch.

next has been pmed.

 

[King Forsberg]

I'll go with RW, Jarome Iginla

 

[VanIslander]

Nice to see your draft including another historical era, including the 1970's Soviets, Czechoslovakians and WHLers that proved themselves equals to the NHL's best time and again!

Looking forward: Call me when you include the Original Six.

(And hey: A draft of ONLY players who played before the O6 era - before WWII - would rock the hell! ... Maybe I could get into these so-called "part-time" drafts after all!)

 

[Elvis P]

The Detroit Red Wings select D Borje Salming. Next pmed.

 

[Hawkey Town 18]

Again, not the best player on the board...but have fun game planning against this guy with one of Orr/Coffey giving him outlet passes...

The Chicago Blackhawks select Pavel Bure, RW

I like the idea of doing a PTD the other way around (i.e. Only players born before a certain date instead of after).

We will be doing polls on this board to determine the winner...I hope you participate

RB's clock is almost up but we've been flying through this thing so I'll give him some extra time.

In the meantime...Who do you guys think should wear the C for my team, Messier or Yzerman? Of course the guy who doesn't get picked will still wear an A

 

[ResilientBeast]

With the 42nd overall selection, the Washington Capitals select, Sergei Fedorov, C

With the 43rd overall selection, the Washington Capitals select, Mark Howe, D

Messier, probably the most iconic captain in hockey.

Messier, probably the most iconic captain in hockey.

He'd also probably act like a baby if he didn't get it

 

[Hawkey Town 18]

The Chicago Blackhawks select Serge Savard, D to play next to Bobby Orr

Next PMd

I'm enjoying doing these for sure, maybe they never take the place of an ATD/MLD/AAA or those drafts but they're fun to do.

In the future I think we could look at doing a decades draft in which we'd only draft players born in a certain decade between 1900 and 1989. Be interesting to see what kind of teams we come up with.

Also enjoying the pace here, 44 picks already and this is only Day 3, with this pace we could have it done by the end of the week.

The Detroit Red Wings select D Rod Langway. Next pmed.

I think this will be the place where experimenting with smaller teams will be done and with interesting themes or concepts, and the bigger draft without real restrictions (ATD) will remain.

 

[King Forsberg]

Pick #46
I can't believe this guy is still here. C, Evgeni Malkin

 

[Hawkey Town 18]

Pick #46
I can't believe this guy is still here. C, Evgeni Malkin

Which centers taken before him do you think he is better than?

 

[tony d]

Needing a Left Winger who can score for the 1st line, the Senators select with Pick #47 Left Winger Michel Goulet

Next has been pmed.

 

[King Forsberg]

Which centers taken before him do you think he is better than?

I think he has an argument vs Forsberg and certainty Fedorov. In terms of all players he's better than Selanne IMO. All close and not by any means bad picks but Malkin's size and talent is too good to pass up.
