ATD 2020 Draft Thread IV

[Claude The Fraud]

Send it sir

Thanks buddy! I didn’t send a list, I felt asleep, but thanks for the offer.

 

[Johnny Engine]

I'm going to solidify my penalty kill and give my team two lines to put out there when suffocating defense is needed.
Ron Stewart, who will be a right wing, but also has some very light award recognition at defense.

 

[ImporterExporter]

@tony d said he won't be available until much later and asked to skip him. He'll make up his pick later today.

@MadArcand is up. I'll send a PM.

 

[MadArcand]

Whalers select Bert Corbeau, D

 

[Claude The Fraud]

The Halifax Mooseheads are proud to select, from Montreal, Quebec, Mooseheads first star player and one of the few Conn Smythe winner that didn’t end up with the Cup, Jean-Sébastien Giguère.

 

[ImporterExporter]

Since @papershoes has caught back up he has 4 hours to make this selection.

Thanks all!

Vikulov is strictly a RW, isn't he?

I checked all international games where Vikulov played since 1965 to 1978 - he is listed as RW everywhere. I also don't remember anything about Vikulov playing C in Soviet League.

 

[ImporterExporter]

I moved Vikulov to RW in the OP since we've had several folks chime in, namely our Euro experts like Theo. If someone produces information to the contrary we can update.

 

[Habsfan18]

I should be here to make our selection. I believe @papershoes has a little under 2 hours remaining on his clock.

Sorry for delay, centre tumba johansson

 

[Sprague Cleghorn]

In the OP, it's supposed to be Mush March, not Marsh

 

[Habsfan18]

Look like papershoes is skipped. Pick coming momentarily.

Fixed. Thanks!

Salt Lake selects LW, Dennis Hull

A 2nd-team NHL all-star, Dennis Hull lead all NHLers in assists in a Cup finals run against the dyntasty Habs as well as putting up 4 points in 4 Summit Series games. Twice finishing top 10 in goals, he was 4x a 30+ goal scorer (including seasons of 40 and 39). Hull was blessed with a heavy shot in the same mould as his brother.

..made his return to the Blackhawks in 1966-67. From that point onwards, he held a secure job at the NHL level. His offensive numbers became increasingly solid as many began to wonder who had the hardest slapshot, brother Bobby or perhaps Dennis. The consensus seems to ride with the latter of the two siblings. It is also thought that by the time Dennis had matured as a major leaguer, he would have been considered a star on most other teams across the league. But in Chicago, there was that huge shadow cast by "The Golden Jet."

My fault, that's what happens when I type late at night.

Taffy Abel

D | 6' 1" | 225 lb

(Does this mean he's Chara-like - defensively - in ATD?)

Awards and Achievements:
2 x Stanley Cup Champion (1928 NYR, 1934 Chi)
4 x Stanley Cup Finalist (1928, 1929, 1931, 1934)
Olympic Silver Medalist (1924)

Ulimate Hockey's Best Bodychecker of the 1930s.

First American to become a regular NHLer. Signed by Conn Smythe to play for NYR.
Charter Member of the U.S. Hockey Hall of Fame (1973)

Will partner with Ryan Suter for an All-USA second pairing. The Monarch has spoken.

 

[tinyzombies]

Taffy to me means he sticks to you - which means he was good defensively. I'm going with that because it's self-serving.

 

[tinyzombies]

"Gardiner made some sensational stops last night and he was well assisted by the big Taffy Abel who played a big part on the defense. The former Ranger not only shone on the defensive end, but he attacked the goal many times and seconds before the expiration of regular time he managed to catch Clint Benedict in default." (Le devoir, 1910- (Montréal), mercredi 26 février 1930.)

Ironically, i once used to think it was marsh

 

[VanIslander]

A marsh is mushy.

Making up pick 617 for the New York Americans with... Seth Jones, D.

 

[BenchBrawl]

Making up pick 617 for the New York Americans with... Seth Jones, D.

I looked into him earlier. Good peak now. Also depends what you think of his 2020 season.

 

[TheDevilMadeMe]

I'm a big fan on the Taffy Abel and Seth Jones picks at this point.

Is a marsh mushy in March?
