I figured hed love my two way forward group and the way I structured my D. I wanted to go with a period appropriate coach but Patrick as my first choice was taken earlier than I anticipated so I punted a bit.

Burns would not like Ovechkin, just like he did not appreciate Thornton.
Burnsie loved a dump-and-chase style of attack and hustle on the backcheck, no controller disabled.

Not Too Soft
Absolutely fascinated by the discussions concerning the relative import of Goaltenders- on both sides of the matter.
A lot of this seems to be driven by "Investor Psychology" and the phenomenon of "Perceived Valuation."
I had earlier put in a post here making the point that the numbers lead me to the conclusion that it doesn't matter quite as much as many think it does. Problem is- this is a Voter-Driven Exercise... and people have fairly well-entrenched views of Goalie value- and a few posted sound-bites such as mine aren't going to move the needle- like, at all...
Might not be the the clearest example- but the example freshest in my memory is this playoff round, where the Goalie edge was viewed as utterly decisive, in spite of the fact that the other team appeared (to me) to have advantages all over the rest of the ice.
The lesson here is the same as in any other market-driven context: if one's perception of intrinsic value is at odds with majority sentiment, then all logic and reasoning won't be enough to avoid being trampled by The Stampede.

Am i the only one that thinks Shero would have been a better fit for California (who had Clarke) squad and Lester Patrick fitting the Mario led team far better than Shero?
Van had vastly better skaters in that series. That top 4 is ridiculous (see below). The weaker offense of California would have a tough time making headway there. BUT, Plante is a massive advantage over Worters. Even with that being said, this is a series where I could see Hershey winning with a much weaker goalie. Van gave him a massive amount of talent at D so I think shots volume would be suppressed. The F group, IMO is pretty heavily tilted to Hershey as well.

Liked what I read on him this year. Doesn't seem like he was elite at anything but was just a really strong all around player. Could play various roles. Was tough, scrappy. Leadership and team first qualities.

Radz take Bernie Nicholls, a guy I've gained so much appreciation for watching old games and reading up on.
Nicholls is such a forgotten and underrated player. He spent much of his career as a second line center, including in his younger years behind Dionne and Gretzky, even though he was a elite center in his prime. He wasn't the best skater, though even that was underrated because it was mostly style points lost rather than effectiveness. Other than that, he had great puck skills and elite shooting (pinpoint accurate with quick release). Most importantly, his hockey sense he was one of the smartest offensive players of his time, great anticipation, positioning, and decision making.
The best thing about Nicholls is his attitude. He is one of the best guys to have on the team, always happy and friendly on and off the ice. People took his attitude (and his gumpy skating stride) to mean that Nicholls wasn't serious or motivated about playing, but that's not right. Nicholls was among the best athletes on his teams. He took conditioning seriously which is why he remained late in his career.
Nicholls was also very strong, and despite being such a happy and nice guy, Nicholls had mean streak on the ice, especially if somebody went after him. Not only would he hit (and he was strong and decent sized), he would play chippy.
Due to his very high hockey sense, Nicholls easily became a very good defensive player later in his career as he went to first to the Rangers and especially later with the Devils.
All of these things make him the guy I always wanted to play third line center for my team. He had usually had to play lower in the depth chart, but despite that had a great attitude. He's fine with playing a rougher type of game and playing in a defensive system if need be. He'll definitely play a starring role on the powerplay.
Nicholls numbers dropped significantly after he left Los Angeles. He's dismissed as a product of Gretzky because of this, though his super high scoring when Gretzky joined is likely due just as much to him actually finally getting top tier wingers and icetime with less defensive attention because of Gretzky. Then there are the nagging injuries that started popping up after his big year, and he was already in his late twenties.
The early nineties are the one time you can probably say he didn't have all the motivation he needed to play well, but I don't fault him at all for that. He was he crushed to be traded from the Kings (and that to the defensively minded Rangers) and then be traded again and again in short succession, right as he was trying to start a family. The unfortunate situation with his son's illness and passing makes it amazing that Nicholls was able to play at all.
Some nice features on Nicholls from different stages of his career:

He was he crushed to be traded from the Kings (and that to the defensively minded Rangers) and then be traded again and again in short succession, right as he was trying to start a family. The unfortunate situation with his son's illness and passing makes it amazing that Nicholls was able to play at all.
Some nice features on Nicholls from different stages of his career:

He probably appreciated the back checking to cover for his own shortcoming defensively

I knew he wouldn't get back to me, but Bergman was at the top of my list.

I’m going to add a mean sonofabitch with surprisingly good ES production if I remember correctly - Dale Hunter

Thanks for making the pick. I needed a tough, playmaking LW to finish my 2nd line, and those guys don't grow on trees. A small bonus that he was Starshinov's playmaker in real life.
My Lafleur team has a lot of Soviets on it, so it's nice to get one worthy of wearing a letter.
Top 6:
Vladimir Krutov - Sid Abel (C) - Guy Lafleur
Boris Mayorov (A) - Vyacheslav Starshinov - Bobby Bauer
