CanadianGuitarist 0 Report post Posted July 12, 2008 For the record, the defenceman I couldn't stand but was going to draft in Manson's place was Darius Kasparitis. (I went with Barilko instead). The 'curious stat' I eluded to: I had thought (incorrectly) that every player from Canada's 2002 Olympic team was drafted, save one: Simon Gagne. As CC and I discussed via PM, I had forgot about Eric Brewer. The teams that won the 1991 Canada Cup, 1996 World Cup, and 2004 World Cup were surprisingly poorly represented.

the max 0 Report post Posted July 12, 2008 Feel free to add to this everyone, but some overlooked players that went undrafted: F: - Dave Christian. R. Olympic gold-medalist, had a fairly successful pro career. 773 points, 8 25+ goal seasons, four of them 30+. - Doug Bentley. L. Top speedster and scorer in his era. Led league in goals and assists twice, points once. - Max Bentley. C. Wayne Gretzky of the 40's. One Hart trophy, led league in points once. - Bill Cowley. C. Retired as the leading scorer in NHL history with 548 points. Two Hart trophies, led league in assists three times. - Mike Ridley. C. Good point producer for the Caps. Finished with a respectable 758 points. 78 career playoff points as well. - Rene Robert. R. TFC member. Great speed, great shot, undrafted player went for .94 ppg in his career - Rick Martin. L. TFC member. 44 goals as a rookie, eight 30+ goal seasons including two 50+. - Wilf Paiement. R. Two-way player who could score and fight. Had 3 seasons of >1 ppg, ended with 814 - John Maclean. R. Gritty, tough player with solid scoring touch. 3 consecutive 40+ goal seasons, 842 points, good postseason guy. Foiled numerous terrorist plots. - Paul Maclean. R. Big scoring winger had five 30+ goal seasons, three 40+ goal seasons and only played 9.5 seasons. - Ray Ferraro. C. Gritty, overlooked player who played well for 18 years. Two 40 goal seasons. Almost 500 career assists. - Jean Pronovost. R. Great two-way player, 40+ goals four times, one a 52 goal season. Played well in the playoffs but never won anything. D: - Ching Johnson. Two-way defenseman who apparently hit like a truck and could shut anyone down. - Jerry Korab. Mean, nasty defenseman with offensive skills and a hard shot. - Gary Bergman. Very solid two-way defenseman. Intelligent offensively and a hard-hitter defensively. - Bruce Driver. Unassuming player but had above average PK skills and was a serviceable offensive defenseman. - Dave Ellett. Good puck mover, above average defense. - Dave Lewis. Excellent positional defenseman, tough as nails. G: - Gerry Cheevers. Bit surprised at Cheesy not being picked by anyone. Had great numbers. - Gump Worsley. Two Vezinas, Four all-star teams, Four Cups. Great character, played for some bad teams. Coach: - Fred Shero. Flyers' coach in the 70's. 390-225-119 in the regular season. 63-47 in the playoffs with two Cups. Jeez, I think if I keep researching this, I might be able to put together another team. So: D.Bentley-M.Bentley-P.Maclean Martin-Cowley-Robert J.Maclean-Ferraro-Christian Paiement-Ridley-Pronovost Johnson-Lewis Bergman-Korab Ellett-Driver Cheevers-Worsley PP: D.Bentley-Cowley-M.Bentley Johnson-Korab Martin-Ferraro-Robert Ellett-Driver PK: J.Maclean-Christian Lewis-Bergman Pronovost-Paiement Johnson-Driver I need a life. I think I'm going to go outside for a little while. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
