Helmuts Balderis

@Hawkey Town 18

 

[VanIslander]

I've always thought of Mullen as a.poor man's version of Bossy.

I've never drafted him, but I see the appeal.

He have never been top 5 in points, only once 5th in goals, never in assists, ....

But he has been 2nd and 4th in playoff scoring for two cup wins.

He is a deserved pick.

 

[Habsfan18]

Lw Clark gillies, New York islanders

Really solid pick with Gillies. He is obviously superior to Bourne, but I had wanted Bourne for his PKing ability as well.

 

[VanIslander]

....

3.5 hours remains on ImporterExporter's clock.

TheDevilMadeMe on deck.

Maybe we could go on a run today...

 

[BenchBrawl]

HT is on the clock, not IE.

 

[ImporterExporter]

With the reduced clock, @Hawkey Town 18 is skipped but I'm going to give him a bit. Just want to look over a few options here. Will pick 30-40 minutes.

 

[Hawkey Town 18]

I suspect I may be making this pick earlier than needed with VI being the only other guy with Montreal left as he seems to like to wait almost till the very end, but I don’t want to risk missing the guy who fits my team best...


Chicago selects Henri Richard, C

Great pick there. Strategy well played.

 

[ImporterExporter]

We'll add a 2 time AS with strong PP credentials and RHS to boot. Will QB the 2nd PP.

Dan Boyle, D, Tampa Bay

With Montreal it feels like there's like 5 guys you want early, and a *bunch* in the middle that you can get at your leisure.

Obviously the best player picked in probably 5 rounds at least.

I'm going to take some time (once my boss leaves) this afternoon and will prune the thread down so there will be no need for a second one.

Sorry to all the hurry up gifs that will be snapped out of existence

Or you could just tell your boss you have more important things to do like menial pruning of a hockey fantasy draft on a message board.

 

[Hawkey Town 18]

There’s not a clear cut Captain on my team, but there are some decent options, who would you guys give letters to?

Vasiliev
Schmidt
H. Richard
Benn

[TheDevilMadeMe]

Only 1 other team can pick this guy, but he seems just like the kind of guy vadim would select, so I'll take him now to complete my third line:

Brian Propp, LW (PHI)

Vasiliev
Schmidt
H. Richard

Would be my picks.

I figured some of my last few picks would really help, but damn. Pretty neat you put this together RB. Thanks sir.

Richard is the 2nd best Hab available, but.he doesn't suit my team's wingers.

Just as the BPA Newsy Lalonde doesn't fit either of ours.

We are building TEAMS not all-star game squads. So, it's a wise pick by you.

*thumbs up*

Once you pick a coach you'll catch up to us don't you worry.

I thought it would be a good proxy for talent, but the teams at the bottom are incredibly talented as well.

 

[VanIslander]

I have three top-100 players yet to pick.

Three 06 greats.

Numbers be skewed.

No duh, I literally said that in the first edition of the post

 

[Habsfan18]

That chart makes my team look like such shit.

And I actually love how the roster has come together.

Part of the reason I made the pick was because I was looking at your roster and saw that Lalonde didn't really fit, and I did think H. Richard could fit (on your 3rd line in particular, I think he fits very nicely).

Your 1st line is tricky with Hull and Makarov, that's just a difficult combo to find a pivot for, period. I would say Richard isn't the ideal, but you could certainly do worse, he could be the defensive conscience of the line, and actually has the speed to keep up with those two. However, you definitely would have people saying there wasn't enough puck to go around.

 

[Hawkey Town 18]

Would be my picks.

I was leaning towards those 3 as well, but who gets the C?

The combo of Hull & Makarov already kinda makes me feel that way
