Cecil Hart was my backup option if someone else had taken Glen Sather.
Both coaches are good for leading teams with high octane offense.

I’m happy to pick up 700 goals at this point. Philadelphia selects RW Mike Gartner

I'll take Dean Prentice, LW
Probably deserves a higher reputation vis a vis other original six depth players who get lots of love being on Detroit and then Montreal and then Toronto, but that's the burden to bear playing on the Rangers of the period

To complete my checking line of Jack Walker - WALT TKACHUK - Craig Ramsay, it's WT. I needed someone with size, faceoff chops, strength and smarts to go up against Sid Abel. With Pronovost and Butch Bouchard, I think I have a decent 5-man unit that can hang in there with anybody.

Philadelphia Firebirds select RHD Adam Foote. Might be overdrafted a bit, but I’m looking to bring some more mean and jam to the back end.

20+ years of All-Time Drafts on HfBoards
Savannah selects HHOF winger Herbie Lewis, the highest paid NHLer in 1934-35, the year he captained the Detroit Red Wings, the year after he was the starting left winger in the first ever NHL all-star game. That 1935 postseason he led the Wings in goals with 5 as Detroit went to the Stanley Cup Finals for the first time ever. The following two seasons he was 4th in NHL assists, the second of which was followed up immediately with the first Stanley Cup championship in Motown. Lewis tied the lead in goal scoring in the Wings successful second cup the following postseason. Four times he was top-5 in all-star voting at his position. His 279 points over a 9-year stretch from his sophomore year was within five points of the totals of Bill Cook, Dit Clapper, Paul Thompson, Howie Morenz and Hooley Smith, trailing only six others in NHL assists over that span. He spent over a decade in the NHL, but if he hadn't been under contract for four years of pro hockey in Duluth, he would have started in the NHL earlier, as he was actively recruited while starring there. As it was, he still had a Hockey Hall of Fame career, esteemed widely for his speed and pokecheck.
Love Herbie. He's one of those rare wingers at this point in the draft who's equally useful slotted into a top 6 role or a bottom 6 one. Great checker but can also provide solid secondary scoring at this level. If I needed an LW2 or LW3 at this point in the draft, I'd be happy selecting him any year. Very useful all around player.

Well that's just cruel. He was going to be my next pick. I even had this fancy graphic prepared to illustrate the connection.

Agreed, he was a finalist for my next pick. Just a great, all around, plug and play energizer.

I'm willing to move either pick 297 or 304. Don't want to move down too far, though. Probably 5-25 spots. PM if interested.

Gallifrey is going to fill out its third line. Gainey, Brind'amour and Ed Westfall should be an absolute pain to play against.

Three Rivers will round out its blueline with a player who lined up next to Sergei Zubov in New York, most notably, during the 1993-94 season when Zubov became the first (and only) defensemen to lead his team in regular season scoring, on the eventual Stanley Cup winner.
He was a 6 time SC winner. One of the few who was on all 5 of the Oiler title teams. He was a noted leader throughout his career. Obviously strong defensively, on the kill.
4 times he finished top 10 in Norris voting (in the stacked era of defensemen) despite not being much of a threat offensively. Sure, he and a number of others shouldn't truly be in the hall of fame, but he was among the best stay at home defensemen during his day and being able to skate with someone he had great success with is the cherry on top.
Proven chemistry is tough to come by in the ATD and the team feels very fortunate to now have real-life, and accomplished pairings on both the 2nd (Stewart and Quack) and 3rd units (this man and Zubov)
Three Rivers is proud to select:
Kevin Lowe, D

Look at the glorious, 70's mop!
Nice pick, was my back up plan, along with 1 other player.

The Windsor Spitfires are proud to select the f'n all-star, winger Dany Heatley.
He will likely see time on our third line with Noble and Petrov, but his versatility will allow us to experiment with other combos if need be.
Will PM next.

Considering I was insanely close to selecting him at 263, and the only reason I didn't was because Hitchman was still on the board, I'm very pleased to get him at 298. A few coaches came off the board since that pick and I was not expecting him to still be available to me here. Had an option to move up but didn't take it, and now I'm really glad I didn't because I'm getting him anyway.
We'll select our coach, the 4x Stanley Cup winning Dick Irvin Sr.

Pretty good pair of specialists.
