OT: All Time Fantasy Discussion Thread

This draft is so hard. There’s so many good options lol

 

[UncleRisto]

Someone take Ron Francis so I don’t have to take him with my next pick because I have something planned and if he’s there I’ll have to take him.

I just went with my plan anyway.

 

[The Abusement Park]

I just have this feeling that @The Abusement Park is going to wake up, see Mikita gone, get pissed off, and then immediately take my next pick lol

Yeah wasn't thrilled with the Mikita pick there

Sorry guys we may have to just pack it in...no one is going to beat having 4 of the top 10 all time guys in Lemieux, Howe, Lafleur and Mikita.

Do you have anybody to play defence, Gator?

Because if the Avs of this year showed us anything, it’s that those guys on the backend can change the course of a franchise.

What if I have Norris' and Selkes up the ass? Figuratively speaking.

Does 3 HOF’s on the backend work?

Well then I’d be disappointed it was only figuratively.

Regardless, no one can stop Super Mario, not even Nicky Lids.

I mean there are levels to the Hall of Fame.

I’ll take my Bourque, Potvin, Pronger left side. That group controls the entire game.

There’s a decided advantage for anyone who picked in the top-3 of this draft, but all the squads look pretty good to me.

I mean it doesn’t get better than those 3 dmen, and despite my 3 being HOFs, they don’t hold a candle to your 3.

But with that said, I still think 4 of the top 10 overall players all time wins out (but I’m biased obviously), unless I’m somehow forced to draft Kerfoot to fill every remaining position.

 

[Gatorbait19]

I’m looking to trade up to get back into 7th round (if interested just make an offer), or swap rounds 8 & 9, if anyone’s in the trade market.

I think since were this deep into the draft I can kind of share my thought process, without hindering anyone’s plans.

I looked at it as there being a bigger gap between guys like Potvin and Pronger in comparison to Murphy, than the remaining centres and Mikita.

My feeling was that the forward talent was a lot deeper than the defence talent overall, that’s why I went so heavy on defence early. I still like a lot of the forwards available.

It’s really hard comparing era’s too. Like does a guy who played in the clutch and grab era deserve a stat boost? I dunno, it’s tough to say.

In the end, any team with Gretzky, Lemieux, Orr, probably picks up the W in this draft. Those guys are a significant tier above every other player.

Yeah, and two of them are still alive even.

Yea you can definitely see some drop offs at certain points and now that almost all of the HOF Dmen are gone, it’s going to be difficult to be anywhere close to you and Risto on the backend.

 

[Gatorbait19]

Lets hope it stays that way for a while, especially this guy:

Mario is one of my all-time favourites for sure. I don’t think anyone made the game look as easy as Lemiuex. Effortless brilliance.

 

[Northern Avs Fan]

@Tweaky or @UncleRisto let me know if either of you would be interested in a round 7/8 pick swap. Looking to move up.

 

[Newusername]

Yeah I definitely should have prioritized Defense abit earlier. Oh well. My team will win games 10-9. + I have Roy the best last line of defense, even if drafting a goalie early was kinda dumb lol

Yeah I would’ve if I knew every dman was going to go in the first 3 rounds haha.

But I have Gretzky, Messier, and Bobby f***ing Hull. So I mean good luck with that.

Drafting Patrick Roy is never a dumb decision.

No, I'm not into that.

 

[OB5]

Drafting Roy is one thing. Just don’t trade him while he’s in his prime.

Ron Francis

@UncleRisto

The value was getting too much to overlook. Nice pick. I was looking at Francis for my next selection.

In that case, you interested in trading down? I’ll give you my 8 and 9 for your 7 and 10.

 

[The Abusement Park]

f*** off Risto.
