Thanks.Had a feeling you'd go with Hyland. Good pick.
Thanks.
And to think I wasn't sure back in the 9th round who I'd prefer picking up later between Foyston (went 11th round), Dunderdale (went 19th round) or Hyland (still was available). All three are rounds 9-14 material imo.
And Bondra was on my list of possible candidates to be a speedy goal scorer on Beliveau's right side.Hyland is another one of the guys I had on my shortlist when I took Bondra, that pick had so much humming and hawing.
- The Trail of the Stanley Cup Vol. 1Lloyd Cook started with Vancouver in 1915 where he was trained as a defence man by the old masters Si Griffis and Frank Patrick. He did very well indeed and when Griffis broke his leg at the close of the season, Cook took his place in the Cup finals when the Millionaires defeated Ottawa.
When the Victoria franchise was transferred to Spokane in 1917, Frank Patrick shuffled some of the players to try and strengthen the Canaries. Cook was sent to Spokane where he played rover but the team received poor support. He returned to Vancouver to be joined by Art Duncan and for the next seven years this duo was the regular defence.
Lloyd Cook was an excellent stickhandler and scored more goals in the coast league than any other defence player.
even though not a HHOFer, a guy who fits your team concept; for a blueline which began late, the Devils has a pretty good group of six:The New Jersey Devils are pleased to select a a 6 time PCHA all-star and Art Duncan's long time defense partner... Lloyd Cook
Weeeeeeell, it's Whipper.
After someone drafted Martin St Louis, GBC said there was still a scoring winger more talented available, and I'm fairly certain this is him. (there's only one other guy who it could be). I'm a fan of Kenny Wharram, and I tried hard to make him fit on my lines and in my team strategy 2 picks ago, but just couldn't do it. Quick, tough, good hockey sense and skills. In a 32-team draft (with 8 more scoring RW's required), he would have been chosen 150+ picks ago.
If your pick comes up today, pwner, we'll have done something really well. And have a happy birthday. May your all-ins prove successful.I will not be around today and thus not able to take any lists unfortunately. Tis my b-day and I plan on not being able to draft well so hopefully my pick doesn't come up.
Hey, if your Olmstead-Lemieux-Neely line is the best ever, then my Olmstead-Lemieux-Iginla must be 2nd best right?Alert : Any similarities between ATD10's Victoria Secrets and ATD8 New Jersey Devils as far the Top-6 is concerned is purely random.
Legends of Hockey said:As a professional, Lonsberry would adopt a more low-profile style of play where he poured all of his energies into playing a two-way style game, moving up and down his wing.
He brought his strong playmaking skills to a line with Rick MacLeish and Gary Dornhoefer. He also developed excellent checking skills and efficient ability to work the corners. During the club's Stanley Cup success in 1974 and 1975, he was considered to have been the great, unsung hero of their championship days. It has been said that although Bobby Clarke led the team, Lonsberry typified it.
Will Hajt be partnered with Ozolinsh? If he is, that will be Hajt's greatest challenge. Facing Lafleur or Middleton on a 1-on-1 will be a breeze compared to covering up Ozo's defensive blunders.
coach Jack Adams said:I've seen a lot of good ones, but none who had more stuff than George. He was in a class with Aurial Joliat, Jack Walker, Bun Cook or Harvey Jackson. He could do everything, that fellow. Besides, he was one of the easiest players to handle I ever had -- always in condition, always on the job, always willing to play any position. He never got into any trouble on the ice and was rarely sent to the penalty box.
sportswriter Sam Green said:He ranked with the great forwards of the game, combining speed and poise, aggressiveness and finesse, with unsurpassed mechanical ability.
That ultra-talented player I alluded to is still available. But there's actually one who was picked in this group who has a fantastic skill level: Pierre Turgeon. Say what you will about him, and Lord knows I've said lots of thing about that chronic under-achiever, but the guy has a fantastic skill level. When he was on, he was one of the best I've ever seen at slowing the game down to his pace. When he wanted to be great, when he was willing to do what it took to be great, he was a marvel to watch. Should have been a centre of the Savard/Hawerchuk calibre, but he didn't have what it took to be a centre of that order.
Just like the third line of the Kingston RMC Paladins of ATD9:I'm pleased to reunite George Hay with his centre, Dick Irvin, on my 3rd line.
Lock him into the #6 slot I say, he not at all underrated by us longtime Caps fans. Iafrate was made for the #7 slot in an all-time context imo.cottonking said:Calle Johansson... a very, very underrated defenseman to fill in during Al Iafrate's mandatory injuries / periods of awful play.

539, Dallas Blackhawks, D Calle Johansson
A very, very underrated defenseman to fill in during Al Iafrate's mandatory injuries / periods of awful play. Consistently good on the puck and off, should be a low-risk, low-reward guy as a bottom pairing, puck-moving defenseman who can play the 4th point spot on the powerplay as well.
