ATD2025 Draft Thread Part II

[Habsfan18]

I'd like an offensive C who could occasionally fill in for Primeau on the 4th line when we want a different look. And a guy we could comfortably slot into the lineup in a pinch as an injury fill in. He had real life chemistry with Andreychuk when they did play together which is a bonus.

Baltimore selects Pat LaFontaine, C

Haha, that four hour clock overnight is rough. Dan Bain, C

 

[VanIslander]

Savannah selects center Darryl Sittler, the 8-time consecutive leader in Leafs scoring, never-say-quit longtime captain, NHL record holder for a 10-point regular season game and tied record holder with Lalonde and Richard with 5 playoff goals in a game. The 1976 Canada Cup hero scored the tourney-deciding goal in OT. He is renowned for winning faceoffs and fighting to protect teammates.

In a poll conducted among writers, GMs and scouts, he rated among the league's best in six categories (best playmaker, hardest worker, most valuable player, best on faceoffs, best team leader, and a player you'd pick first for your team).

I'm sorry I didn't catch that it was until noon today. If @Claude The Fraud wants Carlsson he can have him.

@jigglysquishy please hold off on picking until Claude picks or until 6pm EST

No worries guys!

Sorry for being late, there was a snow storm here on Friday and Saturday. so I was busy with the kids and shovelling.

I'll pick shortly!

 

[VanIslander]

Savannah selects HHOF goaltender Tiny Thompson, the 4-time 1st/2nd team all-star Stanley Cup champion 1930's star who was the first netminder to record an assist. His HOF coach said his spectacular play was only exceeded by his endurance.

Thompson helped popularize the technique of catching the puck as a method of making a save. A competent puckhandler, he was the first goaltender in the NHL to record an assist by passing the puck with his stick to a fellow player.

 

[Claude The Fraud]

The Ottawa 67's would like to welcome, from St. Cloud, Minnesota, a 6'4'' and 220 pounds behemoth, an instrumental parts in the two cup run of Calgary in th '80, Bemidji State alumni, Joel Otto.

 

[Habsfan18]

Baltimore will select their backup goaltender by drafting a 4x Stanley Cup champion who won with four separate clubs. The original Mr. Clutch, who proved time and time again he was a big-game player.

Hap Holmes, G

I feel like we could use some more depth on the right wing, so the Windsor Spitfires are proud to select Philadelphia legend Reggie Leach.

If I remember correctly, he was the first forward to win the Conn Smythe after being on the losing end in the Finals. An impressive playoff performer, he could see some game action if Cashman's back issues flare up to the point where he can't skate or walk (because we know not being able to walk doesn't disqualify Wayne from playing in a game).

Will PM next.
