ATD 2021 Draft Thread II

[ResilientBeast]

I don't trust the Trail. I want to see at least 3 games with my own eyes directly from a home game newspaper where he was RW playing with Frank Boucher.

I mean, I straight up didn't pick him because I didn't think I could justify him at RW. But I also know it's possible that with work, he would be legit. I just didn't want to do it.

Fine. Expect a pm in 5 minutes

What I saw was an article saying he was an all-star at LW or something general of that nature. In the Boucher years.

But cool, awaiting your PM.

If Mackay can play RW, he will never be a center again.

Outside of 1915 his best years were already always on the wing. Like I pointed out in the announcement post. 1923, 1924 and 1925 he sparingly played C, I've seen him at D in 1923 more than C

Yeah a lot of the listings just have "Forward" for a bunch of them.

Some newspapers were so much better than others for sport reports.

I took a dive into Mackay in 1923, 1924 and 1925 on newspapers.com. I didn't spend too much time though. Since I mostly used Vancouver Sun, his position would rarely be explicit (often "winger"). I saw LWer twice.

But I don't doubt he might have played RW. I just want to see it with my own eyes.

If anyone wants to see what I'm sending BB please like this post. I can't post it for obvious reasons a lot of undrafteds

The Jackals select HHOF right winger Rod Gilbert, the 400+ goal, 1000+ point New York Ranger whose #7 jersey was the first to ever be retired by the franchise.

 

[BenchBrawl]

From Nov 1923

If that single word "left" was instead "right", Mackay was on my team.
