He's a favourite. At this point, it's so wide open, you never know who's going to last until the next round. Had to make a move to grab him. Now I'm interested to see who Stray takes with my two picks, as I had Richter tabbed as well, but he grabbed him.

With our next pick, The Flying Elbows are pleased to select our #3 D...

From Whitby, ON... Adam Foote!

[RougeUnderoos]

Team Name: Red Menaces

3rd Defenseman -- Doug Wilson



Games: 1024
Goals: 237
Assists: 590
Points: 827

He must have been on the ballot for the Norris Trophy several times in the 80's but only won it one time. That creep Paul Coffey probably stole it every other time. Coffey may look like Keith Hernandez but he never had the cool hair-helmet that Wilson wore into battle.

Good pick Rouge!

Big fan of Wilson when he was playing.

[Superflyer]

The Beantown Bruins are proud to select for our #2 RW Wayne Cashman



Cashman played his entire NHL career with the Boston Bruins as the hard-grinding winger on the era's most formidable forward line with superstar centre Phil Esposito and right wing Ken Hodge, and was on Stanley Cup winning teams in 1970 and 1972. His best season was in 1974, when he scored 30 goals and 59 assists to finish 4th in the league in points, played in the All-Star Game and was named to the NHL Second All-Star team. He served as the captain of the Bruins from the 1978 season until 1983.
Cashman is considered by many inside the hockey world to be one of the greatest fighters in the history of the NHL.

Cyclones are like proud parents, selecting as their D-3, Mark Howe

CHECK THIS OUT: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wEWXxYh2ht0

Three time first team all-star and three time runner-up for the Norris Trophy...it's tough when your contemporaries are Ray Bourque, Paul Coffey, and Rod Langway. Plus won the +/- lead with a ridiculous +85 one year. One of the most under-rated players of all-time, would've been much more highly regarded if he didn't spend so many years in the WHA in dad's shadow.






Mark Steven Howe (born May 28, 1955, in Detroit, Michigan) is a retired Canadian-American professional ice hockey defenseman who played 16 seasons in the National Hockey League and 6 seasons in the World Hockey Association. He is the son of Mr. Hockey, NHL and WHA legend Gordie Howe. Despite the enormous shadow cast by his father and splitting time between two leagues, Mark shone as one of the best two-way defensemen of the 1980s, being a three time runner-up for the Norris Trophy and twice making the Stanley Cup finals. He is a member of the United States Hockey Hall of Fame

In 1973, he decided to play in the WHA alongside his brother, Marty and his father Gordie. Led by the Howes, the Houston Aeros won the first two Avco Cups, awarded to the league champions of the WHA. Mark, playing left wing, was awarded the Lou Kaplan Award as Rookie of the Year and earned 2nd team All-Star status. He also represented his father's country in the 1974 Summit Series, where he was one of Team Canada's leading scorers.
By the 1976-77 season, Howe was a full-time defenseman. Before the 1977-1978 season, the Howes moved their family act to Hartford, Connecticut to play for the New England Whalers.
The 1980-81 season proved to be one of Howe's best. Howe was a mid-season All-Star, and in the fall, he appeared for the US national team at the 1981 Canada Cup tournament. He would also play in the 1984 and 1987 tournaments.

As a member of the Philadelphia Flyers, his career took off. The backbone of one of the NHL's best defensive teams of the mid 1980s, he was a finalist for the Norris Trophy 3 times in 1982-83, 1985-86 and 1986-87 season. His Philadelphia team finished the 1984-85 season with most points and earned a berth in the Stanley Cup Finals, only to lose to the Edmonton Oilers.
Howe had his best season during the 1985-86 season where he posted some of the best numbers ever by an NHL defenseman. He scored 24 goals, added 58 assists for 82 total points. He led the NHL with a remarkable +85. He also added 7 shorthanded goals while being the lifeline out of the Flyers defensive zone with his outstanding skating & passing ability. Unfortunately for Howe, Edmonton's Paul Coffey had perhaps one of the best seasons by a defenseman in NHL history, breaking Bobby Orr's single-season records for goals and tallying 138 points. Howe, for the second time, finished 2nd in Norris Trophy voting.
The 1986-87 season brought great success to both Howe and his Philadelphia Flyers teammates. The Flyers, for the 3rd consecutive season, led the Prince of Wales Conference in points. Led by Howe, rookie netminder Ron Hextall, and a line featuring Brian Propp, Rick Tocchet and Pelle Eklund, the injury-riddled Flyers took the vaunted Edmonton Oilers to 7 games in the NHL Finals before succumbing 3-1 in the finale.
Howe, having struggled with both knee & back injuries, became a part-time player virtually the rest of his career. The decline in his games played coincided with the Flyers decline in play overall. It was no mystery to anyone watching the Flyers on a regular basis from the years 1988-91 why the team struggled. When Howe was in the lineup, the Flyers looked like a playoff team. Without him, they looked disorganized in their own end.
After the 1991-92 season, the Flyers granted Howe free agency so he could win the as-of-yet elusive Stanley Cup. He signed with the Detroit Red Wings, the team with which his dad had starred. The signing was a popular one in Detroit, as Mark was "returning home" to help build the Wings into a consistent playoff contender. He became a steadying influence on Detroit's young corps of defensemen, mostly notably Nicklas Lidström. He would have one more appearance in the Stanley Cup finals, but his Red Wings were swept in 1995 by the New Jersey Devils.

In-Box Bettman:

Team Grrrreat (Tiger) trades their 10th and 11th round picks (150 and 171) to Team Cyclones (cyclone3483) for their 10th and 11th round picks (153 and 168)

[habernac]

nice pick, cyclone. Always liked Mark Howe. My favourite story of him was from his WHA days. He and his brother Marty always called their dad Gordie when they were playing. Except for one time. Mark was breaking up the ice and yelled "Dad, Dad! I'm open!!!!" He and Gordie both got just a little ribbing from their teammates for that.

[StrayBullet]

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.

hmmm...Stray now has 5 d-men, 4 centers, and 0 wingers of any kind. Just an observation.

[cyclone3483]

And for those of you trying to keep track without a program, CMPunk is next, followed by Tiger (using my 10th rd pick), then Berger, Jagger, etc.

[Prototype]

Bernie wasn't on my radar... good trade for me so far...

[FanIn80]

I'm still pissed I missed out on Regehr. I had a Regehr/Foote 2nd pairing planned out since the third round.

With our Tenth round pick, Punk's Puckers Select:

As our Coach

Donald S. Cherry

[Tiger]

with the tenth round pick. Team Grrreat takes Steve Larmer on RW

1006 GP 441 G 571 A 1012 P
"Right-winger Steve Larmer was a classy goal scorer who led by example on the ice during his 1,006 games in the NHL. His excellent on ice vision and quick hands made him a dangerous foe around the net as well as pesky defensive player."





A great two way player. Won rookie of the year in 83, a cup in 94.

[Berger_4_]

In keeping with my plan of getting hella old-school dudes, (other than Ovie...and Tretiak I suppose. And Herb Brooks...okay so I'm not going super old-school throughout...so shoot me) I would like to draft the man who was arguably the first American superstar, and for whom the best university player in the US award is named, a man who died tragically and much too young, Mr. Hobey Baker as a Left Winger



By the time he entered Princeton University in 1910, Baker was an extremely well-rounded sportsman. The budding star led the Tigers through an undefeated season in 1911-12 that culminated in an intercollegiate championship. As a rover, he was given the freedom to improvise and display his immense ability all over the ice. Baker became well known for his end-to-end rushes and an unheard level of stamina that enabled him to dominate an entire game. He was such a one-man show at times that the Princeton squad came to be known as "Baker and Six Other Players."

His high-quality performance was augmented by his sincere concern if any fouls took place in a game, even if he wasn't directly involved. He also made a habit of venturing into the opposition's dressing room after the game to congratulate them on a fine effort.

I'm starting to think Berger is 150 years old

[Jagger]

Quick one for now.

Keeping with my recent homer picks I'll go with

Miikka Kiprusoff




as my #2 goalie.

A Sawchuk/Kipper combo seems very nice!

More later.

Ok now you're just making me feel bad.


Yeah right, as if!

I LIKE my Regehr pick.

Did you want Kipper too?
