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.

Look at that glorious thing.

 

[The Macho King]

Sydney selects Pat Stapleton, D.

He was the guy I almost took last round and was then tempted to take now.

 

[BraveCanadian]

Bryan Hextall's meteoric rise throughout the years is entirely explained by the proof we eventually got that he was one of the hardest hitters in the league. He is the quintessential example of this parallel market.

That and when I fleshed out some of his back checking etc. too I think

Backchecking?

Can you show us here? Not doubting you, just don't remember it.

The most prominent one I found was this one I think:

Calgary Herald 08 Jan 1943 said:

Hextall One of the Best Two-way Players

Coach Frank Boucher of New York Rangers calls his right wing star, Bryan Hextall, one of the greatest two-way hockey players to hit the National Hockey League in years. He points out that "Hexie" not only does a fine sniping chore, but is one of the toughest and most effective back-checkers in the game.

Gotta take it with a grain of salt since Boucher was his coach, but on the other hand it is pretty effusive praise and Boucher knows two way play.

Thanks! I didn't remember that quote. Would need to see more before crowning him a two-way player at the ATD level, but that's a good start for sure.

73rd all time in goals scored with 440 goals scored
110 all time in career points
2 cups
Leadership will do anything to win including fighting when need be.

Alot of good old school payers have alot of penalties minutes Chelios, Stevens, Shanahan all from his era have alot of pm minutes because of the rougher era that they played in

When someone is referred to as a “two-way” player in hockey, it’s in reference to their abilities on both sides of the puck. They’re offensively capable, while also providing at the very least a solid presence defensively.

A power-forward who scored goals is not a “two-way” player simply based on the fact he was tough and provided decent leadership. If he’s not noted for his defensive play away from puck..that’s not “two-way.”

I don’t believe I’ve ever seen Rick Tocchet referred to as a two-way winger before today. Still, solid pick. This is around where he should go.

 

[Voight]

Lone Star selects C #15 Ryan Getzlaf

 

[Leaf Lander]

I’m not trolling, I’m trying to engage in discussion on some of these picks.

Rick Tocchet was not a good two way player in my memory, and I’m pretty sure I’ve drafted Taylor before but I wonder how to place him exactly.

Ok you don't remember him playing too well

Rick tocchet ranks 1st in NHL history with 18 Gordie Howe hat tricks. The 4x All-Star totaled 440 goals, 952 points, and 2,912 penalty minutes over his 18-year career. He won 2 Canada Cups and 3 Stanley Cups. + 87 for his career

2 cups are as an assistant coach



"He was the type of player that stood up for his teammates," former teammate Keith Acton. "He's the kind of teammate that you really respected."

And one that Flyers fans naturally adored.

"A physical player that finished his checks and could play that grinding game which all fans would respect, but certainly in Philly they really respected that kind of play," Acton said.

Flyers legends

Sounds like a 2 way player to me . Rick played with intelligence and was good with the puck and could take the body. He had a presence that could elevate his team.

LL, again, you’re not understanding the definition of a two-way player. And I say that respectfully as I’ve always appreciated your passion for the ATD.

A physical presence while being a goal scorer, does NOT speak to said player’s two-way abilities. Nothing that BC has said was off base. Rick Tocchet was not a “solid two-way player.” For Tocchet to be considered a two-way player (especially in an ATD context) he would have to be noted for his defensive abilities away from the puck. Physical play does not speak to that..at all.

You’re making an issue out of a simple misunderstanding on your own part. Unless I missed something, BC was not calling it a bad pick. He was making a joke out of your claim that he was a “two-way” player.

This is like saying if a player had a rocket of a shot and he was also speedy as hell on his skates, that’s a “two-way” player because he was noted for TWO things. That’s not how it works..lol

RW Gordie Drillon!

Drillon’s a nice pick here. Just make sure he’s well insulated defensively by his line mates. By all accounts, like 95% of his play was in the slot and his ass was essentially parked right in front of the net at all times. It’s a great net-front presence. He’ll get a ton of rebounds, tips..think the dirty goals. But the man didn’t know what back-checking was. So he comes with his warts.

If used properly though, this is a nice pick. He’s a bit of a poor man’s Nels Stewart.

 

[spitsfan24]

The Windsor Spitfires are proud to select the 5x PCHA First Team All-Star, 2x Stanley Cup Champion and a guy who's versatile enough to be played down the middle or on the wing, Mickey MacKay.

Will PM next.

 

[MVP of West Hollywd]

I had second thoughts about taking Sundin over Getz, even though I consider the former a better player. I think Getzlaf and Iginla would have been a perfect ift.

Strong pick with Mackay especially since he can play RW. If I had a spot for him in the lineup I would have picked him up for a while.

 

[BenchBrawl]

I see them as near equal and they have a similar profile. Big, right-handed centers.

Never on top of the food chain at their position, but could face top centers well.

 

[jigglysquishy]

Getzlaf was a substantially better passer, while Sundin was a much better goal scorer. I think Getzlaf has the defensive edge, while Sundin overtakes him on consistency.

 

[ImporterExporter]

Just waiting for the Engine to get back online so we can finalize this pick. Pretty sure we have it locked down, but need to confirm. Will pick asap.

A ~100 spot gap between Fredrickson and MacKay feels like too much, considering the latter's ability to play RW. Nice pick.

Centers dropping far in the ranking always happens year after year. But it's strange that Mackay did so since he can play RW.

Guess no one had a taste for a soft RWer in the last 100 picks. That's the only reason I didn't pick him.
