ATD 2020 Draft Thread V

[TheDevilMadeMe]

• I'd like the Renegades to have a spare capable of playing RW, so I'll grab them John Ogrodnick, RW/LW. I've never had Ogrodnick, he's one of those "slightly overrated because of 1980s numbers" scorers. But this is 140 picks later than he's ever gone and he actually looks really good compared to other offensive wingers right now, with the "can play both sides" thing a nice bonus.
• Kenora has a spare center and a spare defenseman, so I should get them a spare winger. Nikolai Drozdetsky, RW/LW seems like the best option now. He has an excellent offensive record both in the soviet league and in international competition, although has a smaller international sample than one would like to see.

Drozdetsky is a RW only as far as I know. I might have drafted him otherwise.

Am I the only one that gets bummed out when the drafting/team building portion is completed? I enjoy this so damn much.

That said, here’s hoping for an awesome voting and participation turnout for the post-draft activities.

Wally Hergesheimer, RW.

I'm giving you a bump for making Mr. Irrelevant one of the better names out there.

 

[Sprague Cleghorn]

LW Andrew Ladd

 

[Sprague Cleghorn]

It's Ekman-Larsson, not Eckman

 

[Dreakmur]

Guess I'll finish off the draft with 1948's Hart Trophy winner, Buddy O'Connor

He and Ronty were both in the running for the best offensive records left among those eligible for the IceCaps to select, but I didn’t need a small right shooting spare centre with Daniel Briere also sitting in the press box. Had my eye on him for forward depth from the very beginning, but in the end I didn’t have a spot for him. Glad he stays in the big draft.

Great draft everyone. I know the world has changed big time since we started the draft but it was good to have this as an outlet. Looking forward to the post draft portion of our draft.

 

[ImporterExporter]

If anyone wants to make add/drops, you may now do so.

 

[Namba 17]

We did it!
Congratulations to everyone participated!

 

[BenchBrawl]

Good job all

 

[VanIslander]

I was afraid the 24th round would have a lot of in-no-way great players worth honoring, but I would classify only a minority as disappointing imo.

By my math...

15 greats!

14 good enough competitively/ to be remembered

11 ought not be in any ATD; too many better undrafteds

 

[TheDevilMadeMe]

2 weeks for lineup assassinations?

Yeah, I say we run assassinations through the end of the month and then come May 1st we can start with voting.

When did you say we're going to vote, Mr. Timberlake?

I have 4% power on my frayed smartphone recharge cable.

I have to wait until May 5th for my first paycheque post-virus 6-week unpaid sudden layoff.

If i ain't active around here, it's because of that.

Finished my George Hainsworth bio. Definitely the most work I did on any bios this year: ATD2020 Bio Thread

 

[TheDevilMadeMe]

Since we have so many teams, and most of us have 1 team in each Conference, how about 2 lineup assassination threads - 1 for each Conference?

Sounds good to me sir!

I'll get both threads up today around lunch time (12-1 pm EST). Worst case they'll both be up by this evening.

I'd like to see more matchup commentary. In the past I've seen scoring lines compared to scoring lines, etc. But if this is a playoff, shouldn't we be looking at matchups and how the coaches would employ their lineups?

 

[tinyzombies]

I'm going to drop Maruk and take Jacques Martin. Just heard an interview with Pronger who said Keenan was a motivator and not an x's and o's guy. Martin is, par excellence.
