Alright, I still need some defencemen, and I'd like a tough guy before I add a goon. Not very offensive (except to Punch Imlach), but a great hitter, and a tough guy. He came back into overtime to score the winner in Game 6 of the 64 Cup Finals after breaking his ankle in the first period.

Well, my right winger made it, anyway:

Gamblin' Rick Tocchet, RW

 

As for my last left winger, he was a slightly sentimental pick, but he was tough and could score when needed, and is a perfect fit on the fourth line:

I'm still torn between two forwards, so I'll let the rest of you decide for me, and I'll lock up my backup goalie.

 

Might be a bit of a stretch in an all-time draft, but plenty of pedigree, and a fine junior career.

WhatIf didn't quite work out as planned, so we'll do a regular season like the NBA draft; each GM will 'sell' us on his team and once that's done, PM me your ranks of each team (1-14), and the top eight teams will make the 'playoffs'. I haven't quite worked out a playoff scheme yet, but I'm thinking something along the lines of assigning three or four guys to roundtable each series.

Yeah I can't think of a forward so I'll grab my backup now as well. Probably better choices out there but I think this guy is a good fit. Solid team guy and you wouldn't hesitate to throw him in. Also the "worst" goalie to win three Cups, including two as a starter:

363 wins

47 shutouts

2.43 career GAA

Three Stanley Cup championships

Two time Jennings trophy winner

Four time all star

Scored a goal in a 1996 game versus Hartford

I need another forward, preferably a right handed shot.

 

I realized Owen Nolan wasn't taken. He's my guy. One of few real power forwards to come after Neely.

Good picks.

 

Nolan was one of three missing parts of a curious stat I noticed; I won't mention it as it's pretty well name-dropping, at least not for now. I doubt the other two will be taken; maybe one of them.

With my 18th selection, I take:

 

 

Dave "The Hammer' Schultz/LW

 

Am I one pick behind also? I thought I saw someone with 19 picks. I may have counted wrong.

Martin St. Louis

 

2004 Art Ross, Hart, and Lester B. Pearson winner

4-time NHL All-Star

2004 NHL All-Star 1st team

2007 NHL All-Star 2nd team

 

He's small, but he's a damn good player too. Gives my team that shot of "electricity" that I need. Also leaves me with five former Hart winners on my squad.

No time for a picture, but the Five select Joe Juneau.

 

102 points as a rookie (including a LW record 70 assists), a good playoff run with the Caps, and potentially a good yodeler.
