[seventieslord]

Staal was a round 18 MLD pick. Ctrl-f failed you because he's spelled Stall in the list.

He would have been the steal of this draft.

Valeri Bure RW

Yevgeny Groshev, C



Had to make a quick ninja edit, misread my list

 

[Hedberg]

Revierlöwen Oberhausen select:

G Jeff Hackett: 3 time top 5 in SV%; often injured but provided above average goaltending for 500 NHL Games.

RW Mikael Samuelsson: Has a good shot, size and two-way ability. Plays a solid game in all three zones. Understands the positioning aspects of the game of hockey. Can play the point on power plays (Source: The Hockey News)

 

[chaosrevolver]

The Michigan Wolverines will go modern and select two active players.

First, we will take a shutdown defender with nine years of NHL experience. He has played at least twenty-one minutes per game for seven seasons and is known for his great positional play and shot-blocking. He also possesses a huge shot which unfortunately he doesn't use enough.

Zbynek Michalek

Second, we will take a goaltender who will be on this years Team USA squad. He has been the #1 goaltender for five years now in Detroit where he had experienced a lot of success, including finishing in the top-10 in save percentage and goals-against-average on three occasions. He has also experienced forty-two playoff games where he has performed very admirably for the red and white.

Jimmy Howard

Guys as soon as I get some time I'll get on here and name my team and make my picks. Right now I just dont have the time to research but later tonight hopefully

 

[VanIslander]

Rocky Mountain Rage selects 6'2 205 lbs. Gerald Diduck, a defensive defenseman with nearly a thousand games played and over a hundred playoff games with several franchises. He was paired on defense with Denis Potvin for N.Y. Islanders in 1984-85 and he led all N.Y. Islanders' defensemen with 32 points in 1988-89. In Vancouver he won the Vancouver Ram Tough Award (Most Aggressive) for 1991-92 and the next season won the Canucks' hardest-shot competition. The season thereafter he went to the 1994 Stanley Cup Finals. He suffered countless injuries due to his physical brand of hockey.

Rough and tumble Gerald Diduck was chosen in the first round of the 1983 Entry Draft, 16th overall by the New York Islanders. The big, bruising rearguard was considered a solid defensive defenseman who always managed to clear way of opposing forwards for his goaltender in the junior ranks, and the Islanders expected the same of him in the NHL.

After a short 32-game stint with the Montreal Canadiens at the start of the 1990-91 campaign, Diduck was shipped off to the Vancouver Canucks, where he patrolled the defense for the next four years. The 1991-92 season was a particularly ornery one, even by Diduck's standards, when he spent 229 minutes cooling his heels in the penalty box.

The closest he ever came to sipping champagne out of the Stanley Cup came while a member of the Canucks in 1993-94. The Cinderella Canucks advanced all the way to the Cup finals before losing a tough seven-game battle with the New York Rangers. Diduck played in all 24 Vancouver post-season games, scoring a goal and seven assists.

He was a force to be reckoned with as a member of the Canucks,...

... had great upper body strength. He could dominate in the corners, where he could tie up a guy along the boards with ease. He was also capable of a good open ice hit. He was a good fighter when he did drop the gloves, but that was a rare occurrence.

Gerald also had a good package of skills to compliment his physical game. Gerald had tree trunks for legs, which meant a strong skating stride. He had good quickness and mobility. His most attractive finesse quality was his booming hard shot. Gerald was often used on the latter half of a power play because of his shot which often perplexed goalies. He was able to get the shot from the point off quickly too, although it made his shot erratic and therefore often unthreatening... Gerald played very aggressively upon his arrival in Vancouver, and as a result played a more important role on a team than he had at any other point in his NHL career.

 

[ResilientBeast]

Maxim Afinogenov RW

Career Stats
651 158 237 395
3 60+ point seasons
4 Time 20 Goal Scorer

Gone after ten seasons in the league, Afinogenov didn’t leave a shortage of memories in nine years with the Buffalo Sabres and one in Atlanta. A fleet-footed mover, Afinogenov could skate circles around the competition and use his trusty stick-handling for a sudden attack.

Finding himself as the club’s leading producer, Afinogenov shipped out a personal best 51 assists and 73 points to help guide Buffalo back into the postseason where they’d embark on a terrific quest that fell one game short in the Conference Finals.

Distributing the puck amazingly well, he added a new dimension to his game and didn’t seem to mind allowing others to score. Although his dossier in the playoffs wasn’t quite as inspiring, he was a major influence for the Sabres’ massive resurgence that propelled them into a stand-out organization again.

Bonding amiably with his teammates – particularly Ilya Kovalchuk and Nik Antropov – helps Afinogenov pile up five-star games as if there’s no tomorrow. Atlanta plays 14 games in the month of November, and only twice does their bargain buy fire blanks, delivering 18 points.

[seventieslord]

Wow, there are a ton of players who I’ve questioned or criticized in higher drafts who suddenly look pretty attractive down at this level. I’m looking forward to selecting a few of them.

For now, though:

Ed Carpenter, D. Carpenter was an all-star in NOHL, NOSHA and MPHA in 1911, 1912 and 1913, then moved onto the top pro leagues (NHA, PCHA, NHL) from 1915-1921. While not a star at the top levels, he was a competent player whose career spanned 7 years there. A 7-year career in small leagues with small rosters would be pretty solid at this level before considering his previous seasons as an all-star.

Grant Ledyard, D. Can’t argue with a guy who lasted 1028 games in the NHL for average teams. Ledyard averaged 19.29 minutes per game over this long period, but in his best 10 seasons (610 games) averaged 21.59 minutes, again for average teams. Ledyard was a frequent PP option, scoring 30+ points 4 times and 40+ points once. He will be a decept PP option in the A level without being a bum in his own zone and with a fully fleshed out NHL career behind him, something I fear a lot of A level PP guys aren’t going to have. With 366 career points, he has 38 more than anyone else currently available.

Sylvain Turgeon, LW. Turgeon has scored 50 more goals than any other available player and 16 more points, too. He is as one-dimensional as it gets, however.

Bob Froese, G. Like a few goalies throughout the 1980s, Froese was made to look even better than he was by the Philadelphia Flyers. However, he earned a 2nd all-star team spot behind JVB in 1986, also earning significant votes in 1984 and a couple for the Vezina in 1987. Froese’s 1980s sv% stats were consistently strong, and he led the NHL in 1986. He was also not just a low-workload backup or 1A; at his best he was 7th in minutes twice (1984, 1986). Froese put up two truly excellent seasons, much like Peeters and Lindbergh before him, and like Hextall after him – he just lacked the long-term staying power that they had in the NHL (or, like Lindbergh likely would have had.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Why?

In the last 5 years in the NHL, every single player above them in points scored have been picked in higher drafts (except for one player, who looks pretty good right now), , and the same can be said about a significant number below them. In goals scored there are only two that haven't been picked yet and they've outscored them by 4 and 5 goals total.

Benn is 24 yrs old, an all-star, the team captain for Dallas, a Memorial Cup all-star, a WJC gold medalist, played in the WC's and been named to the Canadian Olympic squad.

Duchene turns 23 next week, is an NHL all-star, named to the NHL all-rookie team, Spengler Cup all-star, named in the WC top 3 player on team, 2x WJC gold medalist and has been named to the Canadian Olympic team.

Both are impressive with their stats and demeanor, bringing many intangibles and character in their young careers, certainly they are better than many of the long term mediocre "stiffs" (as seventies may say), to this draft.

 

[JFA87-66-99]

The Pittsburgh Bankers make 2 selections for now C Herb Carnegie and G Bohumil Modry.

Herb Carnegie- The game's first black superstar and should have been in the NHL. Jean Beliveau said so himself, just a shame we never got too see what he could have done if just given a chance. Deserves selection at this point.

Bohumil Modry- One of the Czech's first great goaltenders in the 1940's who was jailed for apparently thinking about defection. Rumors have it that a few NHL teams were interested in his services.

 

[tony d]

Right Winger Jim Fox

Legends Of Hockey:

Jim Fox spent over eight years with the Los Angeles Kings in the 1980s. He was known for his quickness and pinpoint passes which helped him finish his career with nearly 300 assists. Though only 5'8" he took a hit well and was not intimidated on the ice.

Defenseman Chris Therien

Primarily a defensive minded defenseman Therien often used his big size vs. such opponents as Jaromir Jagr

 

[King Forsberg]

I don't think that's Matt Duchene in that picture Bubba.

Therien for some reason would alway play better against Jagr. If only someone could have told him to play like that against everyone else.

 

[Hedberg]

Oberhausen selects:

RW Jonathan Cheechoo - everyone remembers his league leading 56 goal season with Thornton, but he wasn't a true one year wonder, following that performance up with 37 goals the next year before injuries ruined his skating ability. He also had a 28 goal season pre-Thornton and was always willing to grind and go hard to the net.

LW Joey Johnston - hustling winger who made three All-Star game appearances (1973 - 1975).

 

[BubbaBoot]

I don't think that's Matt Duchene in that picture Bubba.

You're right...changed it.

Had season tickets to the Bulls when he played here. Sad to see his career get ****ed up by the injuries. He was a truly fun player to watch.

 

[VanIslander]

Rocky Mountain Rage selects 6'2 220 lbs. Randy Ladouceur, the rearguard who captained two NHL franchises over his 930 NHL game career. He was a steady eddie who worked hard and knew his role.

Defenceman Randy Ladouceur was a solid physical player in his own zone who was rarely noticed by the fans. His career lasted over 900 games and was characterized by consistency and team oriented play as opposed to flair.

Ladouceur looked solid in 27 games as a rookie in 1982-83 before taking a regular turn on the blueline the next season. His solid play helped the club improve by 12 points and qualify for the post-season for the first time since 1978. Ladouceur played two and a half more years in Motown before he was traded to the Hartford Whalers for Dave Barr.

The steady rearguard played six and a half years with the Whalers and helped the team finish first in the Adams Division in 1986-87. Over the next five seasons, he was a reliable performer but the Whalers were caught in a rut, finishing fourth each year and losing in the first round of the playoffs. A respected presence on and off the ice, Ladouceur was the team's captain in 1991-92.

During the 1993 Expansion Draft, Ladouceur was claimed by the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim. He was a stabilizing influence on the young blueline and a role model off the ice. Ladouceur served as the team captain in 1994-95 then retired after playing 63 games in the 1995-96 season.

 

[VanIslander]

Rocky Mountain Rage selects Willie O'Ree, the WHL all-star right winger who was the first black player in the NHL, even though for a short stint, scoring 14 points in 43 games the 1960-61 season. In the minor leagues, O'Ree won two scoring titles in the Western Hockey League (WHL) between 1961 and 1974, scoring thirty or more goals four times, with a high of 38 in 1964–65 and 1968–69. He played professional hockey for 19 years and suffered racism and played despite a 95% loss of vision in one eye due to injury. Imagine what a healthy O'Ree might have done in another era.

O'Ree noted that "racist remarks were much worse in the U.S. cities than in Toronto and Montreal," the two Canadian cities hosting NHL teams at the time, and that "Fans would yell, 'Go back to the South' and 'How come you're not picking cotton?' Things like that. It didn't bother me. I just wanted to be a hockey player, and if they couldn't accept that fact, that was their problem, not mine."

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Willie_O'Ree

Willie O'Ree was an outstanding athlete and with his determination he could have been an outstanding baseball player. Once he decided on hockey and the NHL though there was no stopping him. So just how determined to make it in the NHL was he? O'Ree was playing for the Canadiens' farm team in Kitchener-Waterloo in 1955 when he took a puck to the right cheek and eye cavity. The bones in his face would heal, but the damage to his right eye was extensive. O'Ree lost 95% of the sight in that eye. Doctors told O'Ree that he would never be able to play hockey again. They did not count of the fierce determination burning inside nineteen year old O'Ree. Knowing something of discrimination, O'Ree decided to keep the extent of the damage to his eye a secret, knowing that if he was going to make his dreams of playing in the NHL come true the knowledge of his injury could very well end his career. Once the wounds healed and O'Ree was back on the ice, he developed a way of swinging his head back and forth as he skated to give himself some peripheral vision, something most of us take for granted. O'Ree continued his hockey career, joining the Quebec Aces of the prestigious Quebec Hockey League in 1956. It was during his second season with Quebec, the Boston Bruins of the NHL called up the 22-year-old O'Ree to replace an injured player. On January 18, 1958, Willie O'Ree made his NHL debut in a game against the Montreal Canadiens at Quebec's Montreal Forum. O'Ree took to the ice on the Bruins' third line as a forward, as the Bruins pulled off a 3-0 victory. He didn't score, or record a penalty, and what was a historic moment in time was barely noted. Red Fisher, then a reporter for the old Montreal Star, wrote: "Not even a murmur of interest greeted what a decade or so ago had rocked baseball to its foundation.”

After only two games, O'Ree was sent back to the Aces, but he also played several games that season with the Springfield Indians of the American Hockey League (AHL). For the 1959-60 season, O'Ree joined the Kingston Frontenacs of the Eastern Professional Hockey League, scoring 21 goals and 25 assists in 50 games. O'Ree then went to the Hull-Ottawa Canadiens, where he scored 19 points in 16 games. O'Ree rejoined the Bruins at the end of 1960, and on January 1, 1961, in another game against the Canadiens, and it was here that he scored his first NHL goal. O'Ree played 43 games with the Bruins that season, scoring a total of four goals and adding 10 assists.

The next season, the Bruins sold O'Ree's contract to the Los Angeles Blades of the Western Hockey League (WHL), and O'Ree spent most of the rest of his career out west, playing 11 years with the Blades and the San Diego Gulls and twice winning the WHL's scoring title. O'Ree spent just one season with the New Haven Nighthawks of the AHL, before returning back to California. After a two-year break from playing in the late 1970s, O'Ree then returned for a final season with the Pacific Hockey League's San Diego Hawks in 1978-79. He retired at the end of that season, at the age of 43, after a professional hockey career of 19 seasons and 10 teams.

Steve Bozek LW

331 points in 641GP

Left-winger Steve Bozek was a good skater with a quick release who lasted over 600 games in the NHL. His anticipation and speed made him a dangerous foe on the power play and a useful penalty killer...Bozek was a solid two way forward on the club for four and a half years. In 1986, he contributed eight points in 14 games when Calgary reached the Stanley Cup finals.

Bozek skated briefly with the St. Louis Blues late in 1987-88 season then joined the Vancouver Canucks via trade. He was a fine checker and face-off specialist while adding 46 goals in his three seasons with the club. Following the 1990-91 season, he helped Team Canada win the silver medal at the World Championships.

John-Michael Liles D

Has plenty of speed, mobility and offensive acumen. Plays with supreme confidence when in possession of the puck; he moves the puck expertly. Is an asset on the power play.

- 2003-04 NHL NHL All-Rookie Team (1st)
- 313 Points in 627 NHL Games
- 7 Consecutive 30 Point Seasons (To start his career)

[BubbaBoot]

The Cape Cod Cubs select:

center Vladimir Yurzinov

Team USSR international games: 54 / goals: 23 (12 points in the 1963 WCs. Tied for 1st with four other players.)
USSR/Russian Elite League games: 472 / goals: 231 (3rd, 4th, 10th in his best seasons)
Soviet League First Team All-Star: 1963
USSR (Russia) Hall of Fame: 1963
IIHF Hall of Fame: 2002
GOLD 1963 World Championships
GOLD 1969 World Championships
BRONZE 1961 World Championships
His number 17 jersey has been retired by Dynamo Moscow.

Yurzinov had a career of a solid technically savvy elite center. After 15 seasons with the Dynamo Moscow, he managed to set up his team's all time scoring record, to win gold medals with the Team USSR at the world championships and established a reputation of one of the best Russian forwards of the 1960s.

 

[Rob Scuderi]

Liles was due, he's the best post-expansion PP performer available. He'd be in the conversation for the best in the AA too, his numbers are basically identical to Berard's.

 

[ResilientBeast]

Liles was due, he's the best post-expansion PP performer available. He'd be in the conversation for the best in the AA too, his numbers are basically identical to Berard's.

I was really considering him for AA, but it was a no brainer considering my first few forwards are extremely accomplished players on the powerplay.

 

[tony d]

Orlando Solar Bears select:

Stephane Mattheau, LW

The grinding style of Matteau suited Hawks' coach Mike Keenan who used him extensively late in the season and during the club's drive to the 1992 Stanley Cup finals. He was a regular checker over the next two years before the New York Rangers acquired him prior to the March trade deadline in 1994. Matteau's grit and experience were key factors in the team's first Stanley Cup triumph since 1940. In addition to his relentless work ethic, the burly forward also counted two overtime winners in the Eastern Conference finals versus the New Jersey Devils.

Denis Herron, G

Herron may not have the best record in the world but he usually played for bad teams and his playing for those teams skewed his record.
