OT: All Time Fantasy Discussion Thread

[The Abusement Park]

Haha ok gotcha. It doesn’t really matter to the way I have my squad set up, but it would be good to get clarification for the rest of the draft.

Commish @The Abusement Park , what are your thoughts?

If you can find the position posted on two different websites that should be fine.

Would have really liked a Sedin-Sedin-Alfredsson line but alas...not in the cards.

Any reputable ones?

 

[UncleRisto]

Ha, I was also looking at Alfredsson.

Cleaned up on defense with Mathieu Schneider and Eric Desjardins. Man, that's a throwback.

Two of my absolute favorites as a youth...and then again with Schneider as a young adult.

I almost went with Markov at LD over Schneider but will have to dig deep for my bottom pair RD.

Yeah. I’d say we could reference the HOH of hockey page as well.

Zetterberg isn't draft eligible right? No way he's lasted this long if he was.

He’s not an active player though. He’s retired.

 

[The Abusement Park]

He’s not an active player though. He’s retired.

He’s on a payroll still though IIRC. So he’s ineligible.

Dany Heatley

@Newusername

Ah, FUUUCCKKK!

Jeremy Roenick

@Lonewolfe2015

I was wondering how long he was going to last.

 

[The Abusement Park]

What a stupid run of picks. You’re supposed to help me out here

Gilbert Perreault (C)

@Gatorbait19

Well done. It was a disservice that Gilbert was on the board that long.

Perrault was probably my hardest evaluation. I was thinking about pulling the trigger on him for 3 rounds.

I ended up going Nieuwendyk because of his clutch gene and faceoff prowess, but Perrault’s talent is >.

I’ve been looking at highlights of a lot of the older guys I’ve been thinking about drafting to get a sense as to how they played and Perrault’s skating was definitely ahead of his time.

What's the ruling on playing an LD on the right side?

Guys have to play on the same side they shoot.

 

[Gatorbait19]

In all time greats round 2, we’ll do it so that retired means retired, this way ill be able to snag Jagr and Louongo

Was my no. 1 goalie actually (behind the big 3 obviously but I’m not about that “draft a goalie in round 2 jazz”

Welp I'm screwed with my 4 left shooting defenders...

 

[UncleRisto]

Welp I'm screwed with my 4 left shooting defenders...

I was thinking of weaseling some more later, so is one of them known to be a left-handed RD? I think that should count.

Also, remember we're doing scratches, too.

 

[Northern Avs Fan]

You guys can always use one of them as your spares.

I think the thought was that every team would be so stacked if we let Left-shooting guys play the right side.

It definitely dictated my draft strategy early on.

Jere Lehtinen

@Tweaky

You son of a bitch.

 

[Gatorbait19]

With 3 teams hoarding Dmen and Gainey off the board, I felt like I had to shore up my defensive forward line even though better players technically still on the board.

 

[Gatorbait19]

You son of a bitch.

Lol I actually thought - shit I better get Jere before Risto tries to claim him.

Edit: You brought this on yourself Mr. “my first 3 rounders are all Dmen”

I got Selke winners at 4, 6, and 10. They're now all on a line.
