Okay, Girly Sports can correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the order now is Aeneas, Windom, and Jerzee...plus both Jerzee and Jagger are still looking to make their pick from last round.
Is that right?
Once you're AK'd you get skipped over, we don't give you another 15 hours.

The Following User Says Thank You to GirlySports For This Useful Post:
Team Give Blood...play hockey, will now select another LW.
We already have the best of alltime, and add to that, Bert Olmstead.
Murray Albert "Bert" Olmstead (born September 4, 1926) is a retired Canadian professional ice hockeyleft winger who played for the Montreal Canadiens, Chicago Black Hawks and Toronto Maple Leafs in the National Hockey League (NHL). Olmstead began his career with the Black Hawks in 1949. In December 1950, he was traded to the Montreal Canadiens via Detroit. Olmstead had his best statistical years playing for Montreal, leading the league in assists in 1954–55 with 48, and setting a league record for assists with 56 the following season. Olmstead was claimed in a Intra-League Draft by Toronto Maple Leafs in 1958, and played there until his retirement in 1962. In the 1967–68 season, Olmstead served as coach of the expansion Oakland Seals. Olmstead played in the Stanley Cupfinal in 11 of his 14 seasons in the NHL, winning it five times. He won it four times with Montreal, in 1953, and from 1956 to 1958, and once with Toronto, in 1962, which was his last season. He was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1985.
HHOF
11 Stanley Cup appearances
5 Stanley Cups
383 points for a grinding hard nosed player
Bert retired and then bought a ranch outside of Calgary in the 60's.
A nice aside from wiki:
Olmstead was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1985. Olmstead, with his wife Nora, visited the town of Okotoks on August 13, 2005, with the Stanley Cup. He had previously declined to spend a day with it, believing that it was being given to much older winners only because of the lockout. Olmstead also noted, at the end of the day, that he was happy to have the Stanley Cup again.
Sorry for missing my last pick. Don't have time to look for a pick as my wife's in the hospital. Heading back there right now. I'll make it up when I get a chance. Sorry...

Average of a shutout every 10 games played. Not too shabby!
Cyclones are pleased to select Ian Laperriere's dad, Jacques (Defence-5)
Calm and unflappable, Jacques Laperriere played every one of his nearly 700 games with the Canadiens. He won the Calder Trophy as the NHL’s top rookie in 1963-64, establishing himself as a blue line fixture for the next decade.
Standing 6-foot-2 and weighing in at 190 pounds, “Lappy” was one of the bigger men in the league. He could mix it up if need be but preferred not to. Unlike most players of his size, Laperrière chose brains over brawn, an approach that served him well throughout his career.
Never a high scoring offensive performer, Laperrière used his ability to anticipate the play to great advantage, usually defusing potential threats before they could materialize. With long arms even for a man of his height, Laperrière had an incredible reach, which he used to break up oncoming attacks without having to lay the body.
Laperrière’s stay-at-home style played a major role in half a dozen Stanley Cup Championships in the 1960s and 1970s. (*note: half dozen, but only has 5 rings, he was injured before the 1966 playoffs, but won the Norris that year) His accurate passing was essential to the team’s lightning-fast ability to turn the game around and counter-attack.
Laperrière’s best postseason performance came in 1970-71. He went on an uncharacteristic scoring spree, notching four goals and assisting on nine others in the 20 games preceding the Canadiens’ eventual Stanley Cup triumph.
The Finals that year saw the Canadiens emerge victorious over the Chicago Blackhawks. Laperrière played the last five games of the series with a broken bone in his arm, adding four assists to his total, with three of them coming after suffering the fracture.
Playing through pain was an ongoing reality for Laperrière – just part of the job. Injuries plagued Laperrière throughout his career, forcing him to miss almost 100 games over the course of his 10 seasons with the Canadiens. A leg injury suffered shortly after the midway mark of the 1973-74 calendar forced the four-time All-Star to retire at the age of 32.
In 1981-82, Laperrière rejoined the Canadiens, this time as an assistant coach. He spent 16 years behind the Habs bench, serving under six different head coaches while developing many of the youngsters who followed in his footsteps. His name was engraved twice more on the Stanley Cup following the Canadiens’ 1986 and 1993 championship seasons.
He also spent time behind the bench in Boston and in New Jersey. Laperrière’s son, Ian, is a veteran NHLer who has suited up for four teams in his nearly 15 years in the league.
Jacques Laperrière was inducted to the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1987. An arena in his hometown of Rouyn-Noranda, Quebec has been named in his honor.

Well after searching the thread and not finding him, and being rushed into work, with our 13th round pick, Punk's Puckers select:
At RW
#9 Andy Bathgate
Andy Bathgate was a popular star-player of the New York Rangers and also holds the honor of being declared the MVP of both the NHL and WHL. He started his professional career with the Cleveland Barons of the AHL in the 1952–53 season. He bounced between the Vancouver Canucks and the Rangers for two seasons before settling with the Rangers in 1954–55. He played ten full seasons with the Rangers, where he became a popular player in New York as well as a top-tiered player in the NHL. In 1961–62, Bathgate and Bobby Hull led the league in points, but Bathgate lost the Art Ross Trophy to Bobby Hull because Hull had more goals.
Andy Bathgate's career was frustrated by the mediocre play of the Rangers and a nagging knee problem. He was traded to the Toronto Maple Leafs during the 1963–64 season, where he immediately helped Toronto to a Stanley Cup championship, and later was dealt to the Detroit Red Wings, where he helped the team reach the Stanley Cup Finals in 1965–66. Bathgate was chosen by the Pittsburgh Penguins in the 1967 NHL Expansion Draft, and after one season, he returned to the Canucks where he would help lead the team to 2 consecutive Lester Patrick Cup victories, in 1969 and 1970. His best professional year was with them, where he scored 108 points in 1969–70. That performance gave him the George Leader Cup, the top player award in the WHL. Andy Bathgate's final NHL year was with the Penguins in 1971; 1971–1972 he was playing coach for HC Ambri-Piotta in Switzerland. He came briefly out of retirement three seasons later to play for the Vancouver Blazers of the WHA, which he had coached the previous season, but retired for good after eleven games.
Andy Bathgate won the Hart Memorial Trophy for the MVP of the NHL in 1958–59 after scoring 40 goals, which was no easy feat in that era. He is famous for contributing to one of the largest innovations in NHL history. Renowned for the strength of his slapshot, during a game against the Montreal Canadiens, Bathgate shot the puck into the face of Jacques Plante, forcing Plante to receive stitches. When Plante returned to the ice, he was wearing a mask. That started a trend that continues to this day.
Mike Vernon was drafted 56th overall at the 1981 Entry Draft by the Calgary Flames after percolating through the Calgary junior hockey system, where he starred for the WHL's Calgary Wranglers and for the Flames' minor league affiliates. He was added to the roster of the Portland Winter Hawks in the 1983Memorial Cup Championship Series against league champions Lethbridge (WHL), Oshawa (OHL) and Verdun (QMJHL). His performance during the series helped the Hawks become the first team from outside Canada to win the Cup, defeating Oshawa 8–3 in the final. He was awarded the Hap Emms Memorial Trophy as the outstanding goaltender for the series.
After turning professional, he spent most of the next three seasons with the Flames's top minor league affiliates in Colorado and Moncton before getting called up for good in January 1986. Although he was initially called up to back-up incumbent Réjean Lemelin, Vernon's play down the stretch earned him the starting job for the playoffs. That spring, he backstopped the Flames to an upset victory over the hated Edmonton Oilers in the second round. The Flames eventually lost in the Final to the Montreal Canadiens and fellow rookie netminder Patrick Roy.
The Minnesota Wild franchise claimed him in the 2000 NHL Expansion Draft, then turned around and traded him to Calgary and his second stint with the Flames. He played a further 59 games for the Flames, recording three shutouts, before announcing his retirement on September 13, 2002. Vernon has been eligible for the Hockey Hall of Fame since 2005, but has yet to gain induction. He is currently the winningest eligible goalie that isn't in the Hall.
I knew I left him too long... especially on a Flames forum.
