With the 151st choice in the CP All-Time Hockey Draft, StrayBullet selects, Bernie Federko.
One of hockey's greatest playmakers, Federko was always overlooked because of the legends (Gretzky, Lemieux & Yzerman) that played in his era. In spite of that, Bernie Federko still put up great numbers and provided a small market team like the St. Louis Blues, a chance to win and a player with the same type of competitive drive to be proud of. His unselfishness on the ice led to stellar, assist filled seasons utilizing players like Wayne Babych, Mark Hunter & Jorgen Pettersen to their full potential.
14 NHL seasons, 7 seasons of 30+ goals and 11 consecutive seasons of 80+ points, 1130 career points and the Blues' franchise all-time leading scorer, Bernie Federko was inducted to the HHOF in 2002. An exceptional centerman from our game's past and one of the greatest of all time.
