My weekly thoughts on this week's available players:
Alex Ovechkin- One of the best left wingers ever and top goal scorers ever as well. I'd be very surprised to see him still up for voting here next week.
Bobby Clarke- A hot debate this week should be who ranks 1st; Him, Messier or Mikita. I, myself, have Nighbor and Esposito beneath them.
Frank Nighbor- I know Nighbor gets praise around here and he was a good player. Still he'll be near the bottom of my list this week.
Glenn Hall- The first ever goalie I picked in a solo ATD. The guy is probably going to be outside my rankings this week.
Guy Lafleur- He'll rank high on my list. As evidenced by the voting here he's the 4th best right winger here.
Mark Messier- As I said with Clarke I'm interested to see who ranks 1st him, Mikita or Clarke.
Martin Brodeur- Another debate this week is what goalie ranks 1st; Him or Sawchuk. I still have Hall beneath Brodeur and Sawchuk.
Phil Esposito- Espo will be on my vote but he's going to be near the bottom. Solid player for a long time but looking at other options available I'll have Espo near the bottom.
Stan Mikita- Surprised he's still available. I have Mikita closer to the Crosby group of centres than I do this group.
Terry Sawchuk- One of my favorite goalies, nice to see him here. Will def place high on my list.
Viacheslav Fetisov- Our first Russian defenseman. I think he should place in the mid range of this week's players.
My vote will be submitted soon.
