One Player Per Franchise (OPPF) draft - preliminary interest thread

[VanIslander]

I'd not be fine with it.

In Dallas zero individual awards, not even finalist, and played 3 years less.

In Chicago two Vezinas and a 2nd place in Vezina voting and all of his league-leading shutout seasons (4 times) and clearly his most seasons played as well.

Let's not sacrifice historical integrity to make the game a tiny bit easier.

I'm fine leaving him in Chicago too, I'm the one who initially assigned Belfour to Chicago, so obviously I see that side of it.

His playoff play was much much better in Dallas, so there's an argument there if you really heavily weigh playoffs, but that might warrant reconsideration for other players in similar situations, which personally I don't have time for.

I'm fine with leaving things exactly as they are.

Also, I'm indifferent on attaching coaches to franchises or leaving them unattached as we have before.

@ChiTownPhilly can you confirm you're in?

We also need team names from @tinyzombies and @Claude The Fraud

At this point, votes seem to be 2-1 against attaching coaches to franchises!

I'd be fine switching Belfour to Dallas. His playoff resume is so much stronger in Dallas that you can at least make an argument that it trumps the stronger and longer regular season resume in Chicago. I'm also giving a little extra leeway due to his position.

For Roy, I really don't see the argument for Colorado over Montreal, and if you make the switch then you're opening up the door for switching other players' franchises just to change up the game.

The argument for Roy is generational (honestly same as Belfour) - as in "when I was a kid watching, Roy played for the Avs so he's an Av in my mind."

I don't think that is a good argument, frankly.

@seventieslord

Are the Pats usually taken by you, @seventieslord ?

 

[VanIslander]

He had the team for 6 or 7 years, but not since 2011 or 2012 I believe.

It's not a prob unless he joins.
My comment was just a nod to him, a tip of the hat to ATD history. Hence the.. , and consequently his "like".

Hey @ChiTownPhilly are you in?

There's something (damnably) weird about my workplace computer connection- it allows me to read everything on the forum, and even read PMs (when they're sent), but it doesn't allow me to respond to ANYTHING. When at the work-site and on-the-clock, I have to either make sure I leave a list with someone, or go and scrounge a wi-fi connection at lunch hour. It presents participation-challenges.

Fortunately, they're not insuperable challenges. The fact that I'll be in-line for a bunch of leisure time starting the Saturday before Columbus Day, and continuing for the next 9 days or so- should help.

I'll go with a Halloween-type theme for my latest team name- I hereby introduce...

The Hammond(Indiana)Organ® Grinders

 

[VanIslander]

Awesome!

Thanks for your patience, everyone!
