ATD 2020 Draft Thread IV

[ImporterExporter]

I'll make my pick soon. Been sick and not feeling great.

Hope you feel better ASAP bud. Seems to be a lot of that going around lately.

 

[Johnny Engine]

Hopefully Macho Man manages to get in for his pick soon, but I won’t delay mine any further. It’ll be Bobby Smith.

My MLD 2019 extra skater. Nice.
But ahead of four other guys? Why now?

I'm heading to bed but FYI:

@Hawkey Town 18 (-4) has until 12:24 AM EST (just over an hour)

@BenchBrawl would then be up.

 

[Hawkey Town 18]

Chicago selects John Vanbiesbrouck, G

Coronavirus?

It seems way too early for Mark Scheifele, but I'm open to arguments otherwise.

Yeah, 560th overall for one of the elite centers in today's NHL. Way too early man.

 

[BenchBrawl]

Rejean Houle

Compare him to guys whose historical value is roughly established.

The main issue is only 5 years of relevance

 

[VanIslander]

The main issue is only 5 years of relevance

The significance of those years are quite limited:

• Only one great regular season (8th in assists).
• Only one great playoffs (led with 10 even strength goals).

That's it.

Only recency bias makes it seem more impressive than several much more deserving centers to come!

 

[The Macho King]

Coronavirus?

Dont know - cant get tested.

Define elite lol

He's been voted 4th for center AST and that's it, has one 7th place scoring finish

Bad pick way too early he'd be MLD fodder in a draft this size

 

[kruezer]

Seattle will take D Mattias Ohlund

 

[tabness]

Chicago selects John Vanbiesbrouck, G

He was the other guy I was talking about with Joseph, very technically sound goalie who did well for defensive system teams. He’s one of the goalies I’m most sure would excel today with all the different techniques out there now. Looks like I waited too long for him. Nice pick.

Oh well, the beauty about goalies is there’s always another guy basically as good around.

 

[VanIslander]

We had Cujo and Beezer on our Baltimore longlist for a long time to backup Billy Smith and play 30-40 regular season starts. We went with Cujo. Could have gone either way.

I like Beezer's consistency...7 seasons with a notable Vezina finish (1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 6, 7) + 2 other seasons with minor votes. He doesn't have a Cup win (there's not anyone left who has both a Vezina record like the above and a Cup), but he does have the 96' run to the Finals where he was easily the best player on his team as well as a run to the Conf Finals in 86' where his team finished 4th in their division in the regular season and took down the 2nd and 3rd best teams in the league (Philly + Wash) before falling to Montreal.

 

[VanIslander]

That Finals run really solidified Beezer's worth as an all-time great compared to his Rangers days, where he competed for top billing.

 

[Leaf Lander]

Leafs select alf skinner rw

 

[ImporterExporter]

FYI, Glitch sent me a proxy list, so I'll post that once Sprague picks.

 

[VanIslander]

We are locked and loaded thereafter.

 

[Sprague Cleghorn]

Johnny Peirson RW

 

[ImporterExporter]

Alright, I'm home.

Glitch via proxy takes:

Jeff Carter, C

Zombies via proxy takes:

Paul Reinhart, D

 

[Johnny Engine]

"Zombie via proxy" is a fun phrase and I'm trying to think what it means.
