ATD 2020 Draft Thread IV

[ImporterExporter]

I don't want to dock Tony an hour for a skip since we technically didn't know if papershoes had wished to be auto skipped with this last pick. He had asked to be skipped for his Renfrew pick but not this one for Kenora.

Anyway I sent Tony a message earlier on FB.

 

[ImporterExporter]

So technically speaking,

papershoe's clock would have run out at 5:01 AM EST this morning. I moved him to a -2 because this last pick for Kenora he got 7 hours. Even though he had been skipped more than once, all but 1 skip was voluntary. So PS will be at a -2 moving forward.

Tony has been on the clock since 5:01, so he'd have until 1:01 PM EST to pick.

I fell a asleep, anyway I’ll go with kris Draper c.

 

[Dreakmur]

I'll go with coach Barry Trotz

 

[papershoes]

Sorry for the confusion. Consider this message an opportunity to skip any Kenora and Renfrew picks for the remainder of the draft (I'll send some lists once I get a chance to make them).

With the skipped picks,

Renfrew selects SI GRIFFIS -- Defence
Kenora selects BRAD RICHARDS -- Centre

Like as TDMM said Jamie Benn is far better and way more deserving than the rest of that group.

- Top-10 in his league in points seven times (10th-PCHA-1920, 3rd-PCHA-1921, 1st-PCHA-1922, 4th-NHL-1923, 7th-NHL-1924, 6th-NHL-1925, 5th-NHL-1926)

Jack Adam's peak PCHA seasons 1921 and 1922 are probably at the weakest time in PCHA/western hockey history, I'd take those with a grain of salt

Edit: Much like the discussion on Stewart at LW, which I've shown he played almost 2 full season at a high level at the position. If possible I'd love to know exactly how much LW Adam's played. I see TDMM's comment about the game summaries from Trail, but where did Adams play during his two big seasons?

I’ll do some further research and see what I can uncover. I know he was primarily a C of course, but he’s always listed as C/LW in these. And I believe he’s slotted at LW on rosters often enough anyways - including yourself just a few months ago in the MLD. But these kinds of picks will always be questioned if they aren’t playing at their main position. Which I suppose is fair. I guess Van and I will have to live with that. We like what he brings as a winger.

Kenora selects BRAD RICHARDS -- Centre

I hate you.

Thanks for the update PS. Hope all is well sir. Got the OP updated with those 2 selections.

@rmartin65 has until 4:50 PM EST (2.5 hours) to pick

Then @nabby12 would be up twice.

 

[rmartin65]

Going a little off the board... but I think he is a solid 3C here.

Ryan O'Reilly, C

@nabby12 is on the clock

 

[nabby12]

Anton Stastny and Harry Oliver.

 

[MadArcand]

Going a little off the board... but I think he is a solid 3C here.

Ryan O'Reilly, C

@nabby12 is on the clock

You thieving jerk! Well done.

Ryan O'Reilly, C

Great pick at this point. He was a backup plan if I wasn't able to get either Jarvis or Sanderson to center Gainey-Westfall.

Not off the board at all in my mind.

 

[Hawkey Town 18]

Anyone have an updated ES Vs.X for O'Reilly?

 

[rmartin65]

Anyone have an updated ES Vs.X for O'Reilly?

Unless someone beats me to it, I'll get around to posting it tonight.

My next pick will be coming in a while. I am debating a couple options here.

 

[ImporterExporter]

Anyone have an updated ES Vs.X for O'Reilly?

Not including this year I came up with a 7 year, 39 ES VSX IIRC (don't have my sheet at work). He'll jump well into the 40's after this year though.

His offense is already good enough to be a bottom 6'er IMO.

 

[rmartin65]

Well, I'll double down on a defensive line. Eric Nesterenko, RW

@Dreakmur is on the clock

 

[Sturminator]

Ah yes, Sturm has been for a few years. We care more about LD/RD now than we did even 2 years ago.

We used to not care enough. Do we care too much now?

Always good to see you back, @Sturminator. Seventieslord and I were just wondering if you'd stop by this year.

Thanks. I'm cool with caring about where defensemen played. I think in the past we tended to gloss over it a bit because the information was hard to gather and we still had so much more exciting research to do. Guess I'd have gone with Jimmy Thomson there if I was thinking about a top pairing RD. Leaf Lander would certainly like that top pairing.

 

[rmartin65]

Hey, since it looks like Pominville Knows isn't coming back, I'd like to re-name the team the Spokane Canaries. If the re-name causes to many problems, I can stay with MountainLake, however.

And since I can't update the roster, here that is so far:
Cy Denney-Wayne Gretzky-George Armstrong
Bob Pulford-Phil Watson-Aleksandr Maltsev
XXX-Ryan O'Reilly-Eric Nesterenko
XXX-XXX-XXX
XXX-XXX

Valeri Vasiliev-Harry Cameron
Mark Giordano-PK Subban
XXX-XXX
XXX

Hap Holmes
XXX

 

[VanIslander]

Post a Spokane Canaries lineup on the roster thread and indicate which division you are in.

 

[ResilientBeast]

I just updated the former PominvilleKnows post

@rmartin65 I did pm you back lol

 

[Dreakmur]

When I took Keon and Toews as my top two centers, I was hoping for somebody like Pierre Turgeon to fall, but that wasn't to be.

I'll take Jason Spezza

 

[Habsfan18]

Just a reminder that @Namba 17 will be OTC after @tony d selects here. Papershoes will be auto skipped and he’ll make the selection when ready!

 

[tony d]

Going for some physicality on my defense here and a former team mate in real life of Mario's and pick Ulf Samuelsson
