I'll go with the guy with the best hair in the history of the sport.

Richmond Renegades select:

Al Iafrate, D

My father published a book a couple of years ago where the first chapter details how he castrated a massive boar by injecting dog euthanasia chemicals into its testicles to deaden the area, and then cut them off before the toxins entered the pig’s bloodstream. Problem was, his buddy accidentally stuck himself with the needle in the process and had a scary moment before the numbness in his own hand wore off.

With that in mind, I need someone who knows how to castrate farm animals, and Trevor Linden can help with that.

This is the most unusual presentation of a pick Ive ever met in ATD

[Leaf Lander]

[ImporterExporter]

@Sprague Cleghorn has until 9:51 AM to pick (just over an hour)

@GlitchMarner would then be up.

 

[ImporterExporter]

@GlitchMarner is up. I sent a PM as well.

 

[MadArcand]

FYI guys we're vacationing in Transylvania until Monday, so I'll only be able to pick sporadically in mornings/evenings and with minimalist research. Toppazzini being stolen doesn't help, as I had him earmarked for the next Whalers' pick.

 

[Habsfan18]

Just checked, and @VanIslander and I are nearing 800 total messages to each other since the beginning of the ATD. Talking about roster makeup, fits, desired style of play, divisional opponents etc..

You have to have a passion for this kind of thing for your free time to get consumed in drafting historical hockey clubs. We love this damn thing.

I’m sure you all can relate.

Salt Lake selects C/LW, Rick MacLeish.

Center Rick MacLeish played over 800 NHL games on five different clubs in the 70s and 80s. Blessed with a quick wrist shot and natural offensive instincts, he topped the 30-goal mark seven times in 14 big league seasons.

...The Flyers opted to start MacLeish in the AHL in 1971-72 before recalling him late in the year. The next season he broke through with 50 goals while playing the power play and taking a regular shift... Over the next two seasons he continued to produce on offense but was asked to take on penalty killing and defensive responsibility. MacLeish's excellence was a key component on the Flyers' consecutive Stanley Cup wins in 1974 and 1975. During the first title run he led all playoff goal scorers with 13 goals and 22 points. Overall, MacLeish was named to play in the 1976, 1977 and 1980 NHL all-star games.

During the late 70s, MacLeish was a top two-way player for Philly.

Just a follow up on MacLeish: He was a very strong playoff performer - almost a point a game with 107 in 114 games. He also had 23 career short handed goals.

Subject to change if necessary, but we’re toying with a Jack Adams - Rick MacLeish - Ken Hodge 3rd line. Van and I love the look of that.

I was between Oliver, MacLeish and a couple of other options. Chose Oliver because he seems to be the best ES producer out of them, the strongest PKer and, between him and MacLeish - better playmaker. To me Macleish is more of a goalscorer and with two goalscoring wings - Gare and Watson Oliver is a better fit.

Oliver is a great fit for your squad, indeed. Considering what was left available to us, MacLeish’s offense (and defensive capabilities as an added bonus) was a great fit. We didn’t want a strictly defensive checker at C since it would be a waste of Ken Hodge’s offensive talent since he was already pencilled in at that RW slot. MacLeish and Hodge provide a lot of offense for a 3rd line, and Jack Adams adds a nice physical element and also brings offense. It has the potential to be one of the most “offensive” 3rd lines in the draft. We think so at least.
