The NHL all-time draft

Recommended Posts

I've selected a great goaltender and a great defensemen. But neither of them are the kind of guy that you'd put on the cover of your media guide, or the kind of player that guarantees that the networks will want to show your games. Neither one is a face of a franchise.

 

But Sidney Crosby is that kind of guy and that kind of player. And while there are players with better career numbers, I'm going with what he's capable of doing rather than what he's already done.

 

The Northern Lights Five are proud to select Sidney Crosby with their 3rd round selection. In lieu of a picture, I'm going to ask everyone to watch the Stanley Cup - there's a slim chance that they might show him or talk about him there.

 

- 100+ points as a rookie

- led the league in scoring in his second year, becoming the youngest player in North American sports to do so

- won the Hart Trophy as a teenager

- dives & whines with the best of them

I was wondering when he was going to be picked. I had a glimmer of hope that he might fall all the way down to me.

Time's up, EMHE. Pity pick at the end of the second round, a la Baron's pick of Toe Blake.

 

Can I use my draft pick now?

 

First, why was Angle is God skipped? Edit: Oh. my fault. Well, clearly others missed it as well. Sorry, Angle.

 

Due to the overall fuckuppery, here's the new draft order to finish the third round: Max, Angle, EMHE.

To start the fourth round: Angle, Max. After that, we'll screw up less, and we'll continue.

Two things that I can't believe weren't brought up with the selection of Glenn Hall. One is a record that will never be broken. The other is a record that hopefully never will.

 

Glenn Hall started 504 straight games. He threw up before each one.

So what's the order now? I don't think Smartly should be picking again, he just picked. Everyone being absent has fucked it all up.

Baron's pick was taken away, and Goblin picked, so it's your picks and Smartly is a moron. I assume I get a pity pick after you pick, but regardless, it's definitely not Smartly's pick.

Again I could be wrong but doesn't Max pick after Gobblin? It also seems like Smartly made two picks in this round (unless he was supposed to and I missed it). The order is fucked and we really should start keeping better track of it.

And now the end of the round is all fucked up, Smartly seems to be picking whenever he wants, and I don't even know why I don't get my two picks at the end of the round...

 

What the fuck.

Again, here's what happened. Smartly just kind of jumped in wherever, but it's Max's picks. Then I'm assuming I get an end-of-round pity pick, having inherited Baron's team and his missed pick. Then it's Goblin's pick again and the universe is in harmony.

What about my pity pick? It was partially my fault for not making it (but moreso the guy I asked to do it instead who didn't) but I explained that I wouldn't be able to make it and I got skipped without mention which fucked things up in the first place.

I wasn't aware you got a pity pick, that must've slipped by me. I guess you'd pity pick first because you come first in the draft order, but I'm not entirely sure.

From the look of things, we should erase Smartly's pick of Leetch, and go:

 

Max

EHME

Angle is God

JJ Johnson

Max

Goblin

Smartly

 

Also, if I could make a suggestion, if someone isn't here to pick, I say we just skip them and let them come in and pick whenever they come back, a la the NFL draft. This picking at the end of the round is too confusing.

I deleted the Leetch pick. And I agree, let's just let them pick whenever they come back.
