ATD 2013 - Draft Thread II

[BubbaBoot]

Great player.

I've wanted him the past couple drafts and it just didn't work out for me.

Excellent player, I was hoping he'd last, I would've loved him on my 2nd line.....er 1st....no, 2nd....um.....now I'm really confused......

Neely is twice his size and a better sniper, thats all I can think of.

I think Hextall Sr. is better than all of them personally. (all the RWers mentionned on this page)

I don't see it. How unforgettable do you have to be to have that kind of scoring record paired with that kind of Hart record?

 

[BenchBrawl]

Since Reds told me he'd pick in the morning if St Louis were taken, now is a good time for someone to start a new thread (and update the back logged trades!)

just my luck

St. Louis has twice his speed, and a better passer.

...

Not to mention St. Louis has the same number of top-5 goal finishes, a better top season, more contribution to team success, better all-star selections, greater career numbers, etc.

If Scam Neely is a HHOFer, then St. Louis will be too. No doubt.

Hart record and being unforgettable or not is subjective , scoring record is objective.And what about all-star voting? (anyway I'm not saying hart record is useless , far from it , but who cares if Hextall won goal scoring title by being easy to forget? the goal of hockey is not to shine and thrill the journalists who votes for the hart).

Either way you can't take his offensive statistics away , and while his era was weak , it wasn't the war years.

I think the weakness of the war years is overstated next to the weakness of the surrounding years. But it brings up a lot of question marks when a player leads the league in scoring, but barely makes a dent in Hart voting.

That was our hesitation on an undrafted player.

then I hope someone will be able to find some answers.I tried my best last year but finding infos on Hextall Sr. is difficult.

That's the thing, with older players, we have limited resources, so it can often be difficult, that's why we have to trust our instincts. And my instincts tell me that Hextall wasn't much more than his numbers.

That should be done.

It's not like Neely tore up Hart voting either, eh?
