OPPF Draft Thread I

[BenchBrawl]

I'm going to do something I bet isn't going to happen very often in this format: reunite an iconic duo.
Thankfully, Ryan Suter went and played for another team, and a weak one at that.

Neat idea

 

[ImporterExporter]

At this point, I think his overall value is too good to pass up. Arguably the 5th greatest RW of all time IMO.


Bill Cook, RW, Rangers

 

[BenchBrawl]

Cook pissed me off with my last two picks.Wish I hadn't picked Richard if I had known Cook would be there.Anyway...

It seems you're continuing to take out your deep teams.I'm glad you do, because then we get to see how it turns out as a strategy.

Damnit, I was just scheming around him. Guess assuming he might make it wall the way back to me was a pipe dream.

Great pick, my second favorite "ATD" player

We can see that

I literally made the pick based on who I thought had the least chance of making it back. Was on Cook most of the past 24 hours there, wavered, then went with my gut.

I guess I'm glad I did!

Thanks RB. I've long wanted to draft him (and agree he's a great study) but was never really in the sweet spot. Another 06 team gone but in the mid 50's I really didn't feel good letting him go any further.

I thought about pairing Cook with Lemieux but am glad to have gotten Makarov. Cook is a solid pick at this point.

Seals select Martin St.Louis, RW

 

[BenchBrawl]

Was just a matter of time now that Iginla was out.Not that I think Iginla is better, but they tend to go close to each other, and this draft is no exception.

St. Louis one of my favorite player.

Great pick

 

[ImporterExporter]

MSL was who I wavered on when I took Cook......great pick.

 

[Iceman]

I'm starting to get that feeling I know I had last time we did this... that you have no clue where you want to go.

Marty is a good pick in the franchise game at least.

Yeah I have like 5 different plans at this point and they're all blending together

 

[Voight]

Picked him in 2 or 3 straight ATD's.... why not continue the trend

Racers will select C - LA Kings - Marcel Dionne !

Knew you would end up with him lol

But like him or not he's a solid offensive center from a mid-level franchise for this point of the draft

[ck26]

I'll fill out my first line, add some more toughness, some more scoring and scratch off the Montreal Maroons ... RW Hooley Smith

@tinyzombies

 

[VanIslander]

The Maroons!

Talk about a low-cost pick.

Great pick with Niedermayer, figured he wouldn't make it back to me but I almost picked him yesterday.

Bourque played mostly RD, right? (NM - stupid question)
