OPPF Draft Thread I

[BenchBrawl]

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

Yes, mostly RD but can play LD.

Niedermayer RD I think, but @TheDevilMadeMe can clarify.

I think starting from this year we should list the defenseman by their side.No reason not to do it like we do for wingers.

Chicago selects Lionel Conacher, D (Maroons)

 

[ck26]

LOL nearly back to back Montreal Maroons

 

[BenchBrawl]

Conacher is a Weber-like pick, good 3rd/4th defenseman from a weak franchise

 

[tinyzombies]

That pick makes me cry. I was torn between the two. I thought Conacher was more likely to drop, but in reality neither would have dropped most likely.

I'll sure up my blueline with

Chris Chelios, D (Chicago)
Mark Howe, D (Philadelphia)

I've had Chelios penciled in for about 4 rounds.Too bad, he was #1 on my list.I knew youd take him to partner with Kelly presumably.

Nice to finally not be picking the same team as TDMM...I was hoping to wait longer for this, but goalies have gone quicker than I thought, and when you can get the best ever at a position in the 6th round it can’t be that bad right? Guess we’ll see...

Chicago selects Patrick Roy, G (Montreal)

Can't pretend I'm not happy to see a Montreal player being taken.Hopefully this triggers a Montreal run and more choices for me next round

Roy is a great pick there, guaranteed top goalie.

I also got caught off guard by how fast goalies were drafted.Forced my hand to take Brimsek and sacrifice Boston.

Fantastic pick HT. Top 15 player of all time in the 60s is great no matter how you slice it.

Frank Boucher - C

 

[tinyzombies]

@ck26 is up

 

[BenchBrawl]

Frank Boucher arguably best center left.Others are very close obv.

 

[VanIslander]

Frank Boucher arguably best center left.

LOL. Like we couldn't easily name three or four clearly superior undrafted centers.

 

[BenchBrawl]

Oops, I meant available to me

confused my list with the list of available players

 

[ResilientBeast]

I'll sure up my blueline with

Chris Chelios, D (Chicago)

There goes the Chelios dream

 

[BenchBrawl]

Not sure what happened with @ck26 , he was online when his turn came.

Didn’t want to hit the Hab piñata. It’s a long road ahead. Also badly needed to add speed with Bossy and Denneny on the wings.

 

[ck26]

The Lubbock Cotton Kings will continue the small-team tour with everyone's favorite Carolina Hurricane: C Ron Francis

@Voight

 

[tinyzombies]

Uh oh

 

[tony d]

@Voight has until 8:42 AM EST to pick.

 

[tony d]

@Voight has been skipped and can make his pick up whenever, @Iceman is now otc.

"Hit the Hab Pinãta" is the quote of the draft. Boffo.

 

[Voight]

I never received a PM that it was my pick....

I am not on the site 24/7 so if I get mentioned in a post, I wont see it - if I'm PM'ed (the proper way to do so) then I can see it via email.

I don't believe I should be docked any time for this & I will pick soon.

Would have picked first thing this AM when I arrived at work had I known it was my pick.

 

[BenchBrawl]

Cool you won't get a reduction but you're still skipped so pick right now

Don't forget to PM the next GM after you everyone.Not just mention him in a post.
