OK, we'll go with 16 teams then. I'll post the draft order in the morning. go kim johnsson 514 needs to name his team.
We shouldn't limit the criteria. It cuts short a lot of interesting discussions and debates.BM67 said:You are to select players based on their peak performance, not their career.
It's been the same for all the drafts so far. If you base it on career, Orr and Lemieux aren't in the running for the #1 pick. You can consider career and peak value for your selections but you are selecting the player at his best. It's a guide only, your not required to select Pete Peeters' 82-83 season over Glenn Hall's career, but you do select Orr's brilliant but brief career over Larry Murphy's long steady career. A guy that's great for 5 years will get more credit in most peoples eyes than a guy that was only great for a couple, but Mike Gartner doesn't get picked ahead of Bossy just because he played longer.VanIslander said:We shouldn't limit the criteria.

Who dares question Dominik Hasek's sheer dominance for two seasons in net? Countless HOF NHLers have said they've never sen goaltending as dominant as that. But that was at his peak. The issue of who would be better to draft, considering a whole career, is interesting.
Why the heck draft a farm team if we are doing a "snapshot in time at their peak".
Drop this criterion please.

Hockey Outsider said:Thanks Leaf Lander, I do appreciate that. Hopefully I'll be able to do all-time draft 5, whenever that is, but I have enough commitments over the next few months. Good luck to everyone.
aw, i was having a bad day yesterday. having someone say 'screw you" got to me.BM67 said:We need a new GM. Any takers?
You would take over a team that has drafted Bobby Hull and has a 2nd round pick to make. You can change the team name if you want.
