46.6 VsA7
RW Kenny Wharram
5x Top 6 All Star Voting (1, 1, 4, 4, 6)
1x Stanley Cup Champion
2x NHL All Star Game Participant
6x Top 17 Goals (2, 3, 11, 14, 15, 17)
5x Top 19 Assists (9, 9, 14, 18, 19)
4x Top 17 Points (4, 6, 9, 17)
3x Top 4 ESG (2, 3, 4)
4x Top 10 PPG (1, 3, 8, 10)
1964 Lady Byng Trophy Winner
From his ATD bio:
had great speed which was his greatest asset. He was also a tenacious worker who could put in some finesse into the game when needed. Ken also was one of the most accurate shooters in the NHL.
He was lightning-quick and masters of timing his move at the opposition blueline so that he seldom caused an offside. Once a Mikita pass found him, his puck control was among the best in the business.
very fast and has a hard, accurate shot.
Wharram is a fast right winger with excellent hands. If an opponent was distracted for even a second, Mikita, a right-handed shot, would hit Kenny on the tape in full stride, and he'd be on top of the goalie in a blink.

Chicago selects John Ross Roach, G
Highlights from @TheDevilMadeMe's bio:
Highlights from @TheDevilMadeMe's bio:
- Stanley Cup starter in 1922
- Third in Hart voting in 1923-24, 1st among goalies.
This was an incredibly tight vote:
1. Frank Nighbor, Ott C 37
2. Sprague Cleghorn, Mtl D 36
3. John Ross Roach, Tor G 35 - 1931: Single 1st place vote for AS Goalie
- 1932: 4th in AS voting behind Gardiner, Worters and Hainsworth
- 1933: 1st Team All Star. Charlie Gardiner was 2nd. This is the only time from 1931-1934 that Gardiner was beat out. One of two sources indicates that Roach was third in Hart voting.

I'll draft Jim Pappin, RW to provide a little bit of everything for the NJ Devils bottom 6.
"During his 14-year NHL career Jim developed into a fine two-way hockey player who was very sharp in front of the net. He was hard to move from the slot and he scored a lot of goals on rebounds and tip-ins."
Chicago Blackhawks Legends: Jim Pappin
In the Original 6 era, Pappin usually played on the third line in Toronto and helped them win 2 Cups - 1964 and 1967. In 1967, he led the playoffs in scoring and scored the Cup winning goal.
He was traded to Chicago in 1968 for an aging Pierre Pilote. He and was thought of highly enough to be selected for 3 consecutive all-star games (1973, 1974, 1975)
He was a strong even strength scorer post-expansion. Overpass's spreadsheet has him with 45 adjusted even strength points per 82 games played after the 1967 expansion. Compare to Tony Amonte (46 adjusted even strength points per 82 GP).

There goes the 3rd wheel of our Golden Eagles' MPH Line (on our 4th line).
*sigh*
Thankfully, there are two undrafted RWers we initially targeted before we decided to re-unite that line.

If my math is correct, @ResilientBeast has about 20 minutes to pick, then @tabness would be on the clock. Then Beast again, then me.
Is there anyone I can send my pick to?

Skates pick Rick Meagher and Jan Erixon
Meagher is a guy I'm very surprised doesn't go earlier with the other great defensive forwards, but even more happy since I always had him in plan but didn't have to take him when other guys that he belongs with or beats were going. He's absolutely brilliant and completely underrated. The most important trait of the Skates is skating and Meagher was not just a great skater, he was straight up one of the best skaters of his time. That with his elite defensive awareness and reads made him one of the premier shadows, and his specialty was shadowing superstars because he could keep up with them on the ice and with their brilliant minds. I guess he's almost unknown because he played for less publicized franchises and moved around a bit. He finally got some notice in St. Louis after they went deep in the playoffs in 1986 and got more notoriety in the late eighties when the Norris started getting more attention with Yzerman and Savard being the superstars to watch (Meagher was always close by to them). With the emergence of Hull and Oates and the attention the Blues got, Meagher finally won the Selke, but unfortunately for him, he suffered a knee injury in the 1990 playoffs that all but ended his career. Still, it's a testament to Meagher's conditioning (he was a player in his thirties who was said to play like he was in his twenties) that he still came back for a bit the next season, playing a bit of left wing. Given how reputation based the Selke is, and with Hull having his magnificent 86 goal season, I think it would have been very likely that had Meagher not gotten injured he'd have won it again at least once more, not to mention have a few more seasons in him. The awards voting doesn't matter at all to me though, you can tell how good Meagher was just by watching a few shifts.
Meagher was awesome at slyly holding the stick, wish I could draft him on the Radz as well (that was actually the original plan but things changed and I took LaFontaine on the Skates and Peca on the Radz instead because of Hawerchuk).
The Hockey Scouting Report is effusive in its praise for Meagher, as they called him not simply one of the best defensive forwards but one of the best players in the game:
Meagher will be nicely complimented with Erixon, another great defensive forward of the time, who also is underrated mostly as he missed time most seasons with injuries here and there. Another guy with great and strong skating and brilliant defensive awareness is just what the line needs. Unfortunately for Erixon, he just did not have any sort of shot that was useful at the high levels he could play at, sad because he got into position so well and received passes nicely. Doesn't matter though, given the balanced firepower on the other lines.
I guess @ResilientBeast would be autoskipped so @TheDevilMadeMe is up. @Namba 17 has his list.
