ATD 2024 Draft Thread

[VanIslander]

ATD 2024: The 20th Anniversary Edition

The all-time draft is a what-if scenario, the counterfactual reasoning tool of the academic discipline of History. The greatest players of all time, from the amateur era to the NHL to the Soviet Union, Czechoslovakia, Sweden, WHA, etc are drafted BASED on their whole career. No peak vs. career; instead, peak and career, all considerations. A player who was injury prone will be no less so in an all-time competition.

GMs are encouraged to provide bio info like stats, quotes and/or comments when at the podium to announce their picks.

(NO MENTIONING UNDRAFTED PLAYERS! Except Wade Belak. )

Note for new GMs:
Active players today in the 2023-2024 season are judged BASED on their career to date, meaning no projections of what he will do in the future, but instead: Imagine they suffered a freak career-ending accident the day you draft them.

The draft clock will begin Monday, February 5th at noon Eastern. The 1st round clock will be 24 hours long, dropping to 12 hours for round 2.

2). Time Limits.

24 hrs for round 1
12 for round 2
10 for rounds 3-10
8 for 11-14
6 for 15-20
4 for rest.

There will be 24 rounds, with 18 starting skaters, 2 goalies, a coach and three others for the bench. After the draft there will be votes tallied by an ex-ATDer or mod and a regular season standings list resulting. Then playoff match-ups.

[Voight]

Dang, wanted him badly.

Detroit selects Brad McCrimmon, D

I almost went with McCrimmon

 

[Habsfan18]

McCrimmon is about the least sexy pick there can be in an ATD. But boy is he ever solid. Guys like that will help you win games.

 

[ResilientBeast]

FTR, I wasn't criticizing you or anyone else.

I can probably do it next week, I have a bad case of flu right now and my brain feels like Jell-O.

I didn't mean to come across defensive over it, I have been slacking on updating it unless someone specifically asks for their bio to get added.

So if someone else wants to condense and update it by all means

 

[ImporterExporter]

Three Rivers will dip back into the early era pool and take someone we think is stronger value post pre-merger project. He ranked ahead of Weldy Young who is off the board and just behind Lester Patrick who we took with 1 of our last set of picks.

He wasn't a great skater and isn't going to give you much scoring (his puck moving and passing were better than long though thanks to rmartin), but was the Captain of the Ottawa Silver Seven dynasty and noted leader, was the noted defensive ace of the era as far as defensemen went, an elite (clean) body checker, not to mention a championship level boxer in Eastern Canada (also noted football and lacrosse star), so very few messed with him 1 v 1. His steady improvement and longevity as a great player is matched by very, very few from pre 1910's hockey.

If you want a really good look at him, check out @rmartin65 post from the pre-merger project here:

Top-60 Pre-Merger Players Of All Time: Round 2, Vote 5

Art Ross Babe Dye Bernie Morris Didier Pitre Frank Foyston George Hay Hap Holmes Harry Cameron Harvey Pulford Herb Gardiner Jack Walker Joe Simpson Mike Grant Percy LeSueur Reg Noble Tommy Dunderdale So of the candidates here from the west it's a weird mix. Dunderdale is going to take over...

forums.hfboards.com

We are happy to add:

Harvey Pulford, D

 

[MVP of West Hollywd]

The Drumheller Dinosaurs select Johnny Bower, G. We are happy to get a dynasty goalie, 2x Vezina and 6x Sv% leader after many goalies had been taken already, even if he’s considered to have benefited from stacked defensive team like a Brodeur.

 

[Professor What]

McCrimmon was our backup plan if Gardiner had been gone.

 

[MVP of West Hollywd]

I was looking at Pulford but I don’t know if I needed 4th defensemen yet with high picks on Pilote, MacInnis and Langway

 

[Habsfan18]

The Drumheller Dinosaurs select Johnny Bower, G. We are happy to get a dynasty goalie, 2x Vezina and 6x Sv% leader after many goalies had been taken already, even if he’s considered to have benefited from stacked defensive team like a Brodeur.

That would be 3x Milt Dunnell Champion netminder, Johnny Bower. The man’s a winner!

 

[GKJ]

Philadelphia Firebirds select a familiar face to the city, and a Stanley Cup Champion, who had one of the more legendary games in finals history, and accomplished two-way catalyst. Right-handed defenseman Eric Desjardins

@tony d

 

[tony d]

Going to cap off my top 6 now and select RW Steve Larmer with Pick 229.

Larmer had good longevity playing in every game for his team from 1982-1983 to 1992-1993.

 

[Dr John Carlson]

Okay, I've overthought this enough by now. I'd like more size down the middle, and we want a 3rd scoring line that can play some defense too, so I'll take Joe Thornton, who I think has fallen pretty hard here.

Then, I really don't want to miss out on a coach by the time my next pick comes up, because i feel like the run on coaches is coming up quickly. I want a player's coach that doesn't mind my one-way wingers Conacher and Kane doing their thing, and also somebody who knows how to utilize a special rushing defenseman like Bobby Orr, so I'll go with Tommy Ivan.

@tony d

 

[GKJ]

Another all-time great name as called by Bob Cole.

I’ve heard number of different pronunciations

 

[Transplanted Caper]

That would be 3x Milt Dunnell Champion netminder, Johnny Bower. The man’s a winner!

The greatest Maple Leaf, ever, in an emotional kind of way. Connective tissue in the way of a Beliveau for generations of Leafs fan.

Many years ago when the Leafs were bad (like 25th in the league bad, not the "how did they manage THAT bad" of today), he's getting interviewed on the radio. The hosts ask him if he ever gets down on the team and if he (then in his 80s) thinks he'll see another Cup, he responds "oh no. You can't get too down, and I'm confident I'll see them win a Cup" "REALLY?" asked the incredulous host. And with a pitch-perfect pause for comedic effect "Of course I intend to live until I'm 120".

 

[tony d]

Going with Red Horner defenseman

This gives me my top 4 on d

Sprague Cleghorn Red Horner
Jack Stewart Sergei Zubov

 

[Chet Donnelly]

Joe Thornton was the final player to be picked from the HOH Top 100 Players of All Time list, where he was ranked #91. Obviously with an abundance of centers, and certain flaws with Thornton as a player, he probably wasn't expected to go super high, but he looks good now compared to most players of his position left on the board.

 

[VanIslander]

It is apt that Thornton go after Oates.

 

[The Macho King]

@tony d

Thornton was the guy I didn't want to get stuck with lol.

 

[Dr John Carlson]

I guess the biggest knock on Jumbo is his playoff record, but I didn't care so much about that when I have two Smythe winners on the blueline and 3 Smythe/Retro Smythe winners up front. He'll have some support in Hogsmeade.

 

[GKJ]

I need to do more at left wing, not sure how many more guys left I was comfortable with their career legacies are at that position, the guys I’m looking at I may rate too high and wasn’t sure about taking another Flyer, but 420 goals before retiring at 31 got him in the hall of fame, to say nothing of two Stanley Cups, the pick is Bill Barber

Feel like we’re at the point where everyone has a lot of proven winners that it isn’t as big of a deal if they’re important.

 

[MVP of West Hollywd]

The Drumheller Dinosaurs will take one of my favorite players and someone who seems like a great fit to be a 2nd line center in this game - Mats Sundin, C

 

[Chet Donnelly]

I think this was mentioned before, but there's a typo in the OP for round 10. Pick #216 is listed twice, and #229 is omitted. We're already past the round, and it's probably of little importance– I just want to help out the folks with OCD who may feel bothered by it.

 

[Transplanted Caper]

A few undrafteds I'm really curious about at this point. It'll be fun to follow.

It is noted.
It'll get done eventually, likely on smartphone while having to wait somewhere on the weekend.
No hurry.

If you spot any other errors, let it be known. Thanks!

 

[Johnny Engine]

I personally wouldn't compare our next pick favorably to Hitler, but then, I'm not a sportswriter from 1937.

We'd like to welcome a two way centre who is definitely not History's greatest monster, Marty Barry!
