ATD 2017 Draft Thread II

[Sturminator]

They probably meant to say best of right?

The way it's written, it just means he's uncoachable.

Actually, the quote is correct. It's pretty much a throwaway, though...from an article which mentioned how well he got along with the coach he had in Victoria. There was some talk in the press at the time of Frederickson having a high-strung personality, but didn't seem to have any conflicts with coaching, either in Victoria or in Boston.

Ah I see. Not sure why Benchbrawl included the quote in his bio then.

Leafs draft the twins henrick and daniel sedin

Last time you took the Golddust twins, now the actual twins!

With Oates as a two-way pivot with elite passing and the incomparable Orr.

I cannot think of the last time you've assembled such a chemistry-clicking squad!

(of course you might return to your Leaf homer ways and bump up undeserving guys... but maybe you won't!)

What does this mean for his second line at even strength?

 

[tony d]

With Pick 252 the Goal Diggers finish their top 6 and go with Left Winger Herbie Lewis.

Lewis was the first ever left winger elected to play in the NHL All Star Game.

Next has been pmed.

 

[ResilientBeast]

To be clear BB only sent us a list for Frederickson

 

[VanIslander]

What makes him worse than Doug Bentley I dunno.

What is the point of that last comment?

Uhmm...he's very clearly way worse offensively than Doug. Even removing the war depleted years Doug is clearly the better offensive player while being solid defensively

 

[Dreakmur]

Yeah, it's not even close really.

Uh,... evidence? I've seen some facts to the contrary.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.. two 1st team all-stars for bentley during the end of the war years... bioth of his Hart trophy finalist nominations were while millions were dying overseas.

 

[ResilientBeast]

Uh,... evidence? I've seen some facts to the contrary.

Seriously? Herbie Lewis finished 6th and 9th in league scoring

Doug Bentley finished 1, 2, 2, 3, 6, 7

It's not even close

 

[VanIslander]

Gawd... .. it's like we're not looking at the same worlds.

Yea compared Lewis having no notable finishes?

Take away his two war year finishes he has two all star teams, which is coincidentally two more than Lewis has

 

[jarek]

Gawd... .. it's like we're not looking at the same worlds.

Explain.

 

[ResilientBeast]

Gawd... .. it's like we're not looking at the same worlds.

Clearly go ahead and draft Herbie Lewis around Doug Bentley next year then

What is the point of that last comment?

Care to answer me on this VanI?

 

[monster_bertuzzi]

Are you serious?

 

[VanIslander]

Do you guys consider war years "accomplishments" as on par? (apparently so)

 

[ResilientBeast]

Do you guys consider war years "accomplishments" as on par? (apparently so)

Remove the war year voting and he still has a better all star record and hart record

 

[jarek]

Do you guys consider war years "accomplishments" as on par? (apparently so)

I don't think anyone does, but Lewis barely did anything beyond his two top-10 scoring finishes to come even close to justifying your opinion.

This is also incredibly contradictory considering who you were championing two years ago.
