Time for my reaches and steals of the past three rounds (and if anyone is offended by anything - although I can't see why - I don't look at the poster, just the player)
Round 7
Reach: Sandis Ozolinsh - unidimensional offensive defenseman with an awful reputation off the ice and I think it is telling how often the guy was traded. There are still better defensemen left on the board.
Steal: Howie Morenz/Charlie Conacher - Two of the best from the early era of hockey.
Round 8
Reach: Tim Hunter/Pierre Turgeon/Doug Weight - No idea why Hunter was even picked. As for Turgeon he was a skilled player with mediocre heart and a history of faltering when the going got tough.
Steal: Serge Savard - A really good pick with a steady defensive presence.
Round 9
Reach: Rick Nash - I know he has skill but massive question marks remain regarding the playoff record or lack there of.
Steal: Henri Richard/Billy Smith.
