Is it fair to skip right over Bruin72s pick?
Ultimate HockeyRandall was a colourfull slam-bang hockeyist, the kind of bulldog every coach wants in their dressing room. He handled the puck well, had a good shot and for a big man he could hustle. Although he has not been enshrined in the HHOF, he was nonetheless one of the top hockey players in the new NHL
http://ourhistory.canadiens.com/player/Jimmy-GardnerJimmy Gardner honed his hockey skills alongside Hall of Fame legend Dickie Boon, playing together in the streets of Montreal.
Over the course of his career, Gardner won four Stanley Cups, the first two in 1902 and 1903 with the Montreal Amateur Athletic Association team, and again in 1909 and 1910 with the Montreal Wanderers.
Between 1904 and 1907, he played in the original IHL, earning one Second Team All-Star selection in that time.
A talented left-winger, Gardner played two seasons with the Canadiens as a player-coach. He scored 19 points in 17 games from 1913 to 1915, a few years before the team joined the NHL.
Gardner was inducted to the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1962.
****...Cotton is going to kill me lol. We wanted Richards..but thought he had a better chance of lasting to the next pick then Cain.I think we're up. The Melville Millionaires are proud to select a talented playmaking centre (three top six finishes in assists), a Conn Smythe winner and a guy with a penchant for outstanding playoff performances. He is also an SJHL alum, and he has some experience playing in The Vault, thanks to his junior days with the vaunted Notre Dame Hounds:
C Brad Richards
You should never be disappointed with getting Herb Cain in the MLD. He's an excellent offensive LW for this level. He'll get points. Talented goal scorer. Cain-xxxx-Redmond is going to be potent.****...Cotton is going to kill me lol. We wanted Richards..but thought he had a better chance of lasting to the next pick then Cain.
We were hoping to have Richards between those two but oh well. Richards is definitely a great selection.You should never be disappointed with getting Herb Cain in the MLD. He's an excellent offensive LW for this level. He'll get points. Talented goal scorer. Cain-xxxx-Redmond is going to be potent.
I think Richards is good enough to be picked in the ATD as a 13th forward. Excellent character. Good work ethic. Not dangerous of a scorer to be on a first or second line. Not good enough defensively for a two-way or defensive line. Might be good enough for a playmaking centre on the third scoring line. At this level, he's a tremendous first line playmaking centre because of his big-game mentality, and his ability to play in all situations.
The Fog Devils are starting out behind the 8-ball, but Timonen + Boucher = pretty decent recovery. Boucher's good enough to do just fine anchoring a scoring line in this thing.
Defenceman Gilles Marotte played over 800 NHL games for five different clubs in the 1960s and '70s. He was a fine playmaker who could work the point on the power play and handle the rough going in his own end.
Mike Milbury was a rugged defenceman played over 750 games for the Boston Bruins in the 1970s and '80s. His defensive zone coverage was exemplary and he used an assortment of tactics to thwart opposition forwards.
