The Blades select HHOF center Frank McGee, the pivot of the dynasty Silver Seven with the greatest 4-year offensive peak in Stanley Cup history.


Frank Patrick said:
"He was even better than they say he was. He had everything - speed, stickhandling, scoring ability and was a punishing checker. He was strongly built but beautifully proportioned and he had an almost animal rhythm."

This might be a mistake, but he looks pretty good about now.

I'll select Tyler Seguin, C

gettyimages-116450063.jpg


7 Year Vs2 - 81.0 (tied with Dany Heatley)
AST: 5, 5, 5
Hart: 6
Goals: 5, 5, 7, 10
Points: 4, 7

Over the entire (currently 10 seasons) of his career

He is 13th in points with 594 which is 80% of Patrick Kane who has the second most.

Over the last 7 seasons (all of which in Dallas)

He is 5th in points with 473 which is 90% of Patrick Kane again who has the second most.

How Tyler Seguin's defense helped stymie John Tavares, Maple Leafs in closing minutes of Thursday's win
"It's the matchup we wanted," Montgomery said. "Tyler's a very responsible 200-foot hockey player, did a great job tonight. ... That's why he's out there every draw on the right side when we're penalty killing because he's great at winning faceoffs. He's a very smart player who understands. He just watches video and he can go out and understand what they're trying to do and who they're trying to get the puck to."

Dallas Stars Daily Links: The Evolution of Tyler Seguin
“He’s become a way more competitive player,” Hitchcock said. “His compete level at the puck, his attention to detail; he’s made huge strides as a 200-foot player. I always use that term, but when you ask a guy to go from killing no penalties to being a prime-time guy, you ask a guy to block shots, you ask a guy to be out there at the end of games, important minutes and then you ask him to play against top players; if you haven’t done it your whole life, it’s a big adjustment.
”He’s made those adjustments in half a season, which, to me, is terrific.”

Dallas Stars: Tyler Seguin Bringing New Elements To His Play
He’s a high-powered offensive forward with undeniable speed, an accurate shot, and a high hockey IQ. Seguin’s capabilities and knowledge at center make him a lethal option on the top line for the Stars.
But in years past, Seguin’s immense hockey skill seemed to stop after offense. On defense, he’s been inconsistent, he’s been hesitant at using his size and physicality, and his play in the defensive zone has been lacking at times.
This year, that has changed. Through the first six games of the 2017-18 season, Tyler Seguin has shown a new level of swagger. With that being said, this could be one of Seguin’s biggest years ever.
Under Ken Hitchcock’s reign, Seguin’s defensive skills have improved. He’s more alert in the defensive zone, his possession numbers are as high as they’ve ever been since joining Dallas, and he seems to have a new dedication to defensive help.
In addition, he’s also become much more physical and, dare I say, scrappy. Seguin is currently on pace for 98 hits, which would break his career high of 80 (which he set in 2015-16). He is using his 6-1, 201 lb. frame to its full advantage. He’s also proven that he’s no longer afraid to get scrappy and dirty. Last Saturday, he dropped the gloves with Patrik Nemeth and logged his first career fight in professional hockey.

Sorry everyone. Partied too much for halloween yesterday then crazy day at work today.

I'll pick another two-way forward in Bill Thoms, C.

Best offensive stats available among any NHLer with a strong defensive game. Strong defensively, but not top notch

Question: Pete Mahovlich played 3 NHL games during the 1965-1966 season. Would this mean he would fall under the 1943-1965 category? Or 1966-1979?

Based on the way the rule was written....

Were any of those games played before Jan 1, 1966? Ugh.

That being said, I wouldn't worry too much about it.... You can always draft spares to fill missing time periods of need be.

The Blades select Kenny Wharram, the fastest of the fast on the legendary Scooter Line of the sixties, Mikita's right winger renowned for his wheels, accurate shot and responsible play. "Whip" was top-10 in scoring for the decade of the 1960's and significantly 2nd to only Gordie Howe among right wingers.
