Three Rivers will secure a former teammate of Dit Clapper's (they played together on both of Boston's title teams in 39 and 41) to hold down 1 of the LW scoring line positions.

I liken him very much to another LW in both style of play and ability who went not long ago (Baldy Northcott) in that they were both highly regarded defensive/checking types who also had the ability to put up solid offensive totals while handling the chief checking role on their respective units.

He was a 3 time postseason AS but lost as much time to WWII as anyone (3 entire seasons lost, aged 26-28) of that era and had placement on the AS squad on both sides of the war, obviously impacting his offensive totals like VsX and probably the # of AS nods he ended up with.

He was famous for holding an absolutely prime Gordie Howe (1952-53 season was probably his most dominant) to 2 goals in a 6 game upset series win for an overmatched Boston squad, at 36 years of age. Howe was 24.

Despite his hard/close checking rep, he accumulated only 99 PIM's in 774 games, never spending more than 16 minutes in the box in a single seasons.

We're pleased to welcome:

Woody Dumart, LW (Porky)

A couple of highlights from the bio:

Milt Schmidt
- Woody Dumart with his tremendous offense, with his shot, his very heavy shot. [...] But beside that he probably regard as one of the most capable defensive hockey players in the National Hockey League beside scoring his goals.''
- Woody was a very quiet person and the success which he enjoyed in the NHL he accepted with grace. He never was the one to brag and was always someone to pat someone else on the back, but himself. It's just the kind of a person he was.
- He is noted, no doubt about it, as one of the better defensive forward in the National Hockey League ever.
- There is many games I can think of, particularly the 1938-39 season where we won the Stanley Cup and the job he did on xxxxxx against the New York Rangers. Woody did a great job on xxxxxxx during that series. Also the 1940-41 series, he was tremendous in the playoffs. In those days when the playoffs were around, it was very tight, there was not many offence like it is today, but in our day Woody was really a tremendous player for that reason that he was a great defensives hockey player and a great playoff hockey player
- I think that you can ask anyone outside of myself who played with him for great many years that he was a hockey Hall of Fame material. Woody deserve that through his great play and through his steady play continuously through his whole career
- I know few man who excelled Woody in his talent, both ways on the ice. Opponents always hated to play against him because he was so strong and checked them so closely. But they never resented him, because he played the game so cleanly

Who's Who in Hockey
The Boston Bruins' crack Kraut Line usually spotlighted center Milt Schmidt or right-winger Bobby Bauer. But it's left-winger, Woodrow Wilson Clarence ''Woody'' Dumart, packed a hard shot and did the less flashy checking that kept him more in the shadows than his pals.

One of Dumart' least-publicized but most effective performances occured during the 1953 Stanley Cup semifinals against the first-place Detroit Red Wings. Woody, an aging veteran, was asked to shadow the inimitable Gordie Howe, Detroit's crack right wing. Dumart accomplished his task so well that the Bruins upset the Red Wings in six games and Howe was limited to only two goals.

I attended the 2008 Draft live in Ottawa! Stamkos went 1st overall that year. Was one of the coolest experiences I've had, especially as a lifelong draft junkie. Of course the Habs traded their 1st rounder that day..

This pick is coming live from the delivery room.

Regina Capitals select one of the biggest winners from the pre merger project C Frank Fredrickson .

He was one of the best offensive stars of his era, but could also bring shutdown ability when needed and was a playoff ace.

Learning more about Frank was genuinely one of my favourite parts during my run last year.

I was holding out hope that he would fall to my next pick (maybe because some GMs saw me, a newbie, take him earlier than I assume he had ever been picked last year). If I didn't pick Elias, I think I might've had to take Frank again.

All of this to say I hate you for doing this, but I also love it, because he's getting the respect he deserves.

So many guys I wanted came off the board today. I guess not having a 10th round pick might be my villain origin story.

I'll take Joe Thornton, C

was probably the first superstar player I was a big fan of beyond any Red Wings

remember one time shortly after Brett Hull retired he was on some panel (I think a Hockey Day in Canada day or something since Grapes was there as well) and Brett was being asked how many goals he'd score if he played with Joe Thornton

he was like "I'd have scored 700 goals, oh wait I already did"
