20 years of All-Time Drafts on HfBoards
Babe Siebert - Tom Johnson is NOT our 1st pairing.
It's our second.
We drafted 4 dmen in the top-120 players of all time range (got our pairings set early enough to not be a liability - got quality luckily, in a no-trade draft). We were stoked to get a solid HHOF playoff-proven core).
There are different ways to build a championship team: some don't have a top-10 center, some don't have a top-10 goalie, some don't have a top-10 dman.
It's about chemistry and compensating strengths and a clear way of winning.
