Having a 10+ pick gap between one's first and second team allows one enough time to shift gears: thinking about one team per day.

Nice.

Hockey Is a Battle: P unch Imlach's Own Story said:
add to that the fact that Bob Nevin on right wing was a good playmaker himself, and excellent checker, and could score goals, and you had quite a line.
The Official NHL 75th Anniversary Commemorative Book said:
Bobby Hull himself cites Eddie Westfall of the Boston Bruins, Bob Nevin of Toronto and the Rangers, and Montreal's Claude Provost as perhaps his three most effective, and respected shadows.
Checking Back said:
the Rangers meanwhile had just gotten by the leafs in six games, winning the last on an overtime goal by Bob Nevin, their veteran "mountain goat," who would turn his shoulder into body checking defenseman and rarely lose his balance or his feet.​

Hope all is well sir.

All is well!

Having moved in the middle of a busy period at work, I've only briefly thought about my picks. Could've just made a quick pick but, wanted to spend a bit more time thinking it through (that's the fun part!). I don't mind being skipped, and am always good to eventually make up the picks.

Will make my pick up sometime tomorrow.

70slord did a playoff game-by-game analysis of Adams' positioning and found that he played center only 11 of 20 times (the summary he put in the bio), with LW the most frequent other position. So, Adams played LW on his ATD championship-winning club without an objection from anyone, including you.

1) Thank you for giving actual information (the bolded part)

2) I've openly stated that I thought seventieslord won ATD2011 despite his second line, not because of it. I was not particularly happy with Cashman on RW, for instance.

3) Whether a GM in the past "got away with something" or not, I thought we were supposed to be advancing our knowledge here.

I was considering Kuzkin for this pick, BB taking him made my decision a bit easier.

Chicago selects another defenseman that can play the right side: Jiri Bubla, D
