OT: NHL All-Time Draft, Round 2

[UnSandvich]

Hello again from the NYR Boards. Due to requests from multiple posters across the boards, I've decided to continue the All Time draft into a second round. The rules for this draft are as follows, if you did not remember:

1. Every team gets a single pick in the round, and the draft order follows the standings as of 3/20/2020 (the first day of the draft). So even if a team traded its 1st Round pick in the 2020 NHL Entry Draft, they still get a choice in this draft.
2. All retired/inactive NHL players are considered eligible for this draft (including guys playing overseas like Jagr). This also includes players like Tretiak who never had an NHL career but are hockey legends in their own right. All active NHL players, as well as players whose rights are owned by an NHL team, are ineligible
3. It is assumed that player abilities are "up-to-date" with the modern game, so a player like Eddie Shore who played in a far different NHL will not be at a disadvantage compared to say Wayne Gretzky or Jaromir Jagr
4. All players will be drafted into the organization at the age of 18, similar to the NHL Entry Draft
5. It is assumed that players will have a similar ceiling to during their playing career, and have the ability to reach said ceiling, although this is not guaranteed. Similarly, they are not guaranteed to suffer the same injury woes they did during their career (should that be relevant)
6. I'll give 2-3 days for votes to come in before the next team goes on the clock.
7. In the event of a tie, I will set up a tiebreaker poll
8. Please check the below post before voting for a player, as it's possible they have already been taken. And remember again, active players are ineligible.
9. If you are trolling, I will ignore your vote. Don't be that guy.

Voting:
I'll update this comment as each new vote comes in, but I can only count it if it's a single player vote (so not "Shore or Harvey" for example). If you're changing your vote later on, that's fine, just make a note of it. I apologize in advance if I am delayed in adding your vote, I am now working full-time so have much less free time on my hands

Seems strange that there are not rotating rounds for a historical draft. I mean you already know how good the players become. If you pick outside the 1st 5, then it doesn’t matter who you pick.

 

[bluesXwinXtheXcup]

Grrrrr.

I say we go all Blues and pick one of three:

Oates, Shanahan, Murphy (not a player but instrumental in the Cup)

I vote Murphy...

 

[tfriede2]

Shanahan

Was originally intended to be only a single round. Ended up going to 2 on request. And I think some teams outside the Top 5 were pretty happy. (Richard at 16, Harvey at 22, Morenz at 31, etc.)

 

[Bobby Orrtuzzo]

I’ll go Makarov

 

[simon IC]

Shanahan.

How was Murphy instrumental? Are you confusing him with Robinson or am I missing something?

 

[bluesXwinXtheXcup]

More grrr.

Yes I was

 

[bluesXwinXtheXcup]

Okay, I my pick is Shanny.

 

[bluesXwinXtheXcup]

I remember the the exact time Shanahan was traded for Pronger. I was very upset.

Still hate Keenan.

 

[Bye Bye Blueston]

Worked out though.

 

[Spear]

Shanny

 

[Bluesnatic27]

Ehh, I feel far too young to place any input. I don't really know much about how good players were back then in comparison to their peers besides the big top-50 names.

If I had to choose only from those available, I guess Shanahan.

 

[kimzey59]

Put me down for Doug Gilmour.
Nothing against Shanny and Oates; but I just can't talk myself into passing on Doug Gilmour. Definition of a Franchise Center. 100+ point offense, perennial Selke candidate defensively and an absolute buzzsaw on the ice. Honestly not sure how he is still on the board but I don't see him as having been taken.

Very close #2 would be Modano.

fwiw, Gilmour lost to Sundin in the Avs board’s tiebreaker poll.

I personally wouldn’t pick him this high, as I think there are better guys on the board (Makarov, Taylor, Cook, Boucher, etc), but he’s certainly seen some support recently.

Lafontaine by a mile
