ATD 2011- Draft Thread

[BigDucky]

So, do I get to pick now?

 

[EagleBelfour]

Waiting for confirmation of my trade with Home Nugget that I posted in the trade thread , Home Nugget said ''Sounds good to me'' so I took it as a yes if unsure just ask him , if it's confirmed he's next to pick.

Funny trade. Look like someone (HomeNugget) got a preference between two of the top three remaining, while the other (ReenMachine) will happily take the remaining guy.

Seems like I'll be picking soon, was not looking for that!

So, do I get to pick now?

Yes!

I cant beileve there's 40 teams this year. This should be a very intresting draft. I dont pick until 34th but would like to possibly move up.

If you're gonna pick today I'm gonna stay , if you're still unsure please tell us

The Detroit Riots consider it a terrific honor and privilege to select with the second overall pick... Mr. Gordie Howe!

 

[EagleBelfour]

That's like announcing the Bobby Orr pick in a Chicago Blackhawks uniform!

I think HomeNugget just started a new trend.

Gordie Howe at second overall..wow. Not saying it's a bad pick but it's bucking a trend.

He went second in my first ATD, #11. I would also have taken him there had I worked out a deal for the pick.

 

[Nalyd Psycho]

Personally, I'd take Howe 1st...

 

[BenchBrawl]

The Montreal Canadiens are proud to select... Wayne Gretzky !!!

 

[EagleBelfour]

Doug Harvey, D

Hopefully, Dwight and Zamboni Mania will like who's falling into their lap at #5 (I think they will)

 

[Dreakmur]

And the condition for my trade with EB has been met, so he's up.

I'll PM him now.

edit - nevermind.

No talking about undrafted players -_-'''

 

[EagleBelfour]

I had a hunch you could pick ***** ******* Reen, I had put a 25% chance on it.

In an All-Time list, ***** ******* is higher on my list than Doug Harvey. In an All-Time Draft, picking Doug Harvey over him is the safer route. I won't have that much time to devote to the ATD this year, so when I was able to get my hand on that #4, I never seriously taught avout picking anyone else than Harvey.

Both Dwight and ZM has been PM.

 

[BenchBrawl]

I almost already regret my choice , feel like a traitor of my own mind

 

[BenchBrawl]

I had a hunch you could pick Lemieux Reen, I had put a 25% chance on it.

In an All-Time list, dfdhdhg (I don't feel that bad naming him) is higher on my list than Doug Harvey. In an All-Time Draft, picking Doug Harvey over him is the safer route. I won't have that much time to devote to the ATD this year, so when I was able to get my hand on that #4, I never seriously taught avout picking anyone else than Harvey.

I don't understand that logic but I never participated in an all-time draft though.
So you prefer to have Harvey than Gretzky?

 

[TheDevilMadeMe]

Edit: Even though he's obvious, I probably shouldn't name the name. I was all prepared for a certain player to be in my division...

Nice to see a vet GM shaking things up....

 

[EagleBelfour]

I don't understand that logic but I never participated in an all-time draft though.
Would you have picked Lemieux over Gretzky?

No, my list was:
1) Bobby Orr
2) Gordie Howe
3) Wayne Gretzky
4) Doug Harvey
5) Mr. Obvious

If i just list the best players of All-Time, my list is:

1) Gordie Howe
2) Wayne Gretzky
3) Bobby Orr
4) Mr. Obvious
5) *******
6) *******
7) Doug Harvey

The scarcity of the position explain why I would take Harvey over Mr.Obvious

------

Hey Reen, you should try to make a mega deal with ZM and Dwight to get Gretzky and Lemieux as your #1-#2 punch!

If I couldn't unload the pick, I would have taken a defenseman at #4 as well.

 

[monster_bertuzzi]

Loving the unpredictability around here. The love affair with defenceman goes on with Harvey going before ***** *******.

 

[Nalyd Psycho]

Honestly. I think there are two defencemen on the board who may just be Harvey's equal...

I'm pretty much sure of the two you're talking about. One I wholeheartedly disagree. the other one, he's making a case for him allright (I still disagree though!). We'll be able to talk about that after both are picked.
