New poll series coming from me in June
Good run on picks the weekend guys. Time to review them:
Jean Ratelle: Good pick, this was a guy I was going to go with at 162 but when the topic of needing someone physical for my team came up, I went with Neely still a solid pick who can do a lot of things for your team.
Gordie Drillon: Gives you a 2nd right winger, I believe he's a goal scorer so someone to get the puck from Messier, solid pick.
Paul Thompson: Thompson seems like a good all around player, he's going to fit in well with Trottier.
Lester Patrick: Good pick, another name I was looking at to start off my 2nd pairing on defense.
Tony Esposito: Tony O. My name sake has always been a favorite goalie of mine, solid pick.
Theoren Fleury: A name I thought of picking when I went with Neely, certainly played the game with his all.
Eric Desjardins: Had him last year, probably among the top #3 defenseman here.
Allan Stanley: Very good defensive 2nd pairing defenseman, probably will help you on the pk.
Frank Foyston: Looks like a good 1, a goal scorer, should benefit lots from Cowley as his linemate.
Reg Noble: Good pick, reading his bio he led the league in assists, I never knew that.
Dale Hawerchuk: A guy I had a few yrs. back. For a team that has Hull and Ovechkin a playmaker like Hawerchuk's going to make them a scary team to play vs.
Bill White: Good pick, reads like a good 2 way guy which are always good to have.
Alexander Yakusev: Good pick, him and Lindros are going to be quite a force on your 2nd line.
Yvan Cournoyer: Had him back in 2012, gives you guys 2 good goal scoring right wingers in Conacher and Cournoyer
Harvey Pulford: Drafted him in my 1st ATD in 2011, very good size, I thought about picking him again this time.
Darryl Sittler: Was hoping he'd last to me at 208.
Art Ross: This guy was so good he got an award named for him. Seriously though it's a good pick.
Vladimir Krutov: Good pick, guy had a very good career in the Soviet Union, it's to bad when he came over that his career went downhill.
Harry Howell: Good defensive player for your team that is sort of more offensively oriented thus far.
Vladimir Petrov: Had him last year, was a guy I liked, good pick.
Vladimir Konstantinov: The cyborgs say they're re-creating the 1997 Red Wings, that's as good a team as any to create I guess. You guys aint getting Lidstrom though.
Fern Flaman: A very good defensive defenseman. Playing vs. Langway and now Flaman is going to give opposing offenses fits.
Babe Dye: Very good pick, on a team with Lemieux and Francis, to have Dye play with them could mean the Bankers might put up a lot of goals this year.
Denis Savard: Had him last yr. I think. very good player who got overshadowed in the Gretzky yrs.
Bob Gainey: perhaps the greatest defensive forward ever, in a division with Lemieux, Esposito and Apps amongst others you're going to need that sort of player on your team to combat those guys. Solid pick.
Clark Gillies: Gives you some more grit for your top line. Guy does get over-drafted though. He fell this year though from 191 to 199.
Jimmy Thomson: The name needs to be changed in the op unless my good friend, leaf lander, really went off the board. Still this is Jim Thomson and it's a good pick and makes even more sense to draft him with his old defense partner Gus Mortson.
Gus Mortson: 1/2 of the Goldust twins, good to reunite these guys again.
Johnny Bower: At this point in the draft more than half of us have our #1's, this is a guy that's worth waiting for.
Anyway that's my catching up on recent picks. This is Super Bowl night, I'm watching the big game but it's from the comfort of my own home so if anyone needs to leave they can send me their list if they want. I should come up tonight and will make my pick or leave a list depending on the time.
