The Kamloops Blazers are proud to select, from Emstedetten, Germany, one of the best defensive forward of his era and one of the strongest player, Walt Tkaczuk.
Clark Gillies to create my poor man version of that NYI line as.my third line with Toews standing in at center and Gartner for Bossy.
...a play-making center with great speed and athleticism. He was a tremendous defensive player as well, making him one of the greatest two way centers in NHL history. A strong back checker and prolific penalty killer, Laprade perfected the "poke check" as an effective strategy.
He is a center imo and that's how the Cougars appear to be using him.
Leswick - Madden - Nevin
Am I the first one to call Madden a C/LW here? I kind of regret it.
The only way that I would play Madden at LW is if I was desperate to get 2 PK centers out of my 4th line. And I would accept that his game would be discounted at ES.
That reminds me of another player I think you started the trend of saying he could play two positions and that is Shane Doan. There’s the one quote saying he would be an appealing choice for team Canada because he can play both wings, but did he ever actually play LW in the NHL? Also he didn’t get picked for the team in favor of an undrafted LW.
Edit: I really liked the idea of Doan with Larionov and Bauer, but wasn’t confident he could play LW
I thought about benching him as the 13th forward drafted early.
He's a bit of a tweener.
