Hope this isn't a fata, I did search and checked the draft board...
Give Blood...play hockey selects a slick winger to play on the third line with Ratelle.
He is the Magic Man, Kent Nilsson.

Known as one of the most gifted offensive players of his era.
Absolute magic with the puck: stickhandling, shooting and passing.
Had he not played in the WHA, and gone back to Sweden, we would likely be discussing a 500 goal, 1000 point player.
As it is he is well over a PPG player, and also near that in the playoffs.
Played in Canada, Sweden, Italy, Switzerland, USA, Spain, Norway, Austria and Edmonton.
Once scored 71 goals and 158 points in only 43 games; albeit in Italy.
He won two WHA championships.
A goal:

NHL Stats: 553GP, 264 G, 422A 686 Pnts; Playoffs: 59GP, 11G 41 A 52Pnts
WHA Stats: 158 GP 81G 133A 214 Pnts; playoffs 19GP 5G 19A 24Pnts
Those WHA days he played with Ulf Nilsson and Anders Hedberg, deadly.

Team Marleau! Hammered! chooses in Round 19, #292 overall, our 4th Center,
Max Bentley
-from Wikipedia:
Quote:
Maxwell Herbert Lloyd Bentley (March 1, 1920 - January 19, 1984) was a Canadian professional ice hockey forward who played for the Chicago Black Hawks, Toronto Maple Leafs, and New York Rangers in the National Hockey League. He was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1966.
Max won the 1946 Hart Memorial Trophy. In 1947, he was traded to the Maple Leafs along with Cy Thomas for Gus Bodnar, Bud Poile, Gaye Stewart (who were collectively known as the Flying Forts Line), Ernie Dickens, and Bob Goldham. The trade would pay off for the Leafs as they won a Stanley Cup in three of the next four seasons, but not for the Hawks, who hit rock bottom in the NHL eight seasons out of the next ten.
His brother, Doug Bentley, played on the "Pony Line" with him, along with Bill Mosienko, while with Chicago.
Max was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1966. In 1998, he was ranked number 48 on The Hockey News' list of the 100 Greatest Hockey Players.
Bentley died of heart disease on January 19, 1984.

Somehow I was sure he was picked already, but I can't find it in a search of the Draft Board or this thread. I'm happy to get #48 from The Hockey News' Top 100 list at this late stage of the draft.

Well I searched the thread and it appears as if I'm good to go. So the Bawlf Blawkhawks would like to select Reginald "Hooley" Smith
Born in Toronto, Smith played amateur hockey for the Toronto Granites team that won the Allan Cup and a gold medal at the 1924 Winter Olympics, representing Canada. He had an outstanding Olympic ice hockey tournament, scoring 17 goals and 33 points in five games.
He started his professional career with the 'Super Six' of the Ottawa Senators the following winter. With Ottawa, Smith was on a Stanley Cup champion in 1927. After attacking Harry Oliver in the final game of that series, he was suspended for a month of the following year. Ottawa lost money during the season despite winning the Stanley Cup and the team sold Smith to the Montreal Maroons.
As a member of the Maroons, Hooley would be a part of one of the best early forward lines in NHL history, the "S" line. He, Nels Stewart and Albert "Babe" Siebert made up the famous line that was feared throughout the NHL. Smith was named captain of the Maroons and was their captain when the team won its final Stanley Cup in 1935.
By the mid-1930s the Maroons were experiencing financial difficulties and he was sold to Boston, where he only played for one season. He then was sold to the New York Americans. Starting with 1938–39, he played defence for the Americans until 1940–41 after which he retired.
Hooley died of a heart attack on August 24th, 1963. At the time of his death, he was the last surviving member of the famed "S" line. He was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1972.

Cyclones are happy to draft the Riverton Rifle, RW-4, Reggie Leach
An aboriginal Canadian who grew up in Riverton, Manitoba, Leach was raised by his paternal grandparents. One of the greatest scorers in the history of the Western Canada Junior Hockey League, Leach found the back of the net 188 times in three seasons with the Flin Flon Bombers. He led the WCJHL/WHL in goal-scoring twice, including a remarkable total of 87 goals in 1967-68. Leach was a junior teammate of Bobby Clarke, a factor that later changed the course of his NHL career. Following each of his junior seasons, he was placed on the WCJHL/WHL First All-Star Team.
After graduating from junior, Leach was the third player claimed in the 1970 Amateur Draft when the Boston Bruins called his name. The Beantowners were in the midst of winning the Stanley Cup twice in three years and were too deep in talent to give the youngster a fair shot at the pros.
On February 23, 1972, Leach was part of the package sent by Boston to California to acquire Carol Vadnais. The Golden Seals were blatantly overmatched most nights, but Leach's talent began to shine through the depression of losing. In 1972-73 and 1973-74, he recorded consecutive 20 goal seasons. In the second of these years, he formed the team's top line with Walt McKechnie and Joey Johnston.
A few days after winning their first-ever Stanley Cup, the Philadelphia Flyers took a giant step toward repeating the triumph when they fleeced the Seals in a deal for Leach. In 1974-75, Leach teamed with Clarke and Bill Barber to score 45 goals and earn the respect of the tough fans in the City of Brotherly Love. While helping the Flyers repeat as Cup winners, Leach scored eight goals in 17 post-season games.
It was in the Flyers' failed attempt at a third triumph in the playoffs that Leach's star shone the brightest. During the 1975-76 season, he scored 61 regular-season goals but saved his best for the post-season. Leach's 19-goal effort in 16 games earned him the Conn Smythe Trophy even though the Montreal Canadiens in the Stanley Cup finals swept his team. Of further significance was the fact that the Riverton Rifle scored 80 combined goals (regular-season and playoffs) to break Phil Esposito's standard set in 1970-71.
Incredibly, in 1979-80 the wily veteran scored 50 times and helped the Flyers set an NHL record by going undefeated in 35 consecutive games from October 14 to January 6. More important, Leach took on defensive responsibilities and killed penalties for the first time in his career. He also scored 16 points while helping Philly reach the Stanley Cup finals, where they lost to the New York Islanders in six games.
The fleet winger registered 60 goals during his last two seasons in Philadelphia before joining the Detroit Red Wings as a free agent prior to the 1982-83 season. Leach scored his last 15 NHL goals wearing the famous winged wheel. In 1983-84, he skated for the Montana Magic of the Central Hockey League before bringing his pro career to a close. Leach finished with 381 goals in 934 regular-season games while earning a reputation as one of the top snipers of his day.
Accomplishments:
Conn Smythe Trophy winner, multiple NHL record holder (most goals in one playoff year, most goals one playoff game), 2nd team all-star , led league in goals 1976

Damn.
Look at that haircut.
Leach is an underrated player. I thought he'd be underrated for a few more picks, until it was my turn.

My big and ugly D just got bigger and uglier...
Kevin Hatcher (born 9 September 1966, Detroit, Michigan) is a retired American professional ice hockey defenseman who played in the NHL for 17 seasons between 1984 and 2001 for the Washington Capitals, Dallas Stars, Pittsburgh Penguins, New York Rangers and Carolina Hurricanes. He is the older brother of current NHL player Derian Hatcher.
Hatcher was drafted 17th overall by the Washington Capitals in the 1984 NHL Entry Draft, a team he would have the most of his NHL success with. Hatcher played 1,157 career NHL games, scoring 227 goals and 450 assists for 677 points. He also registered 1,392 career penalty minutes. Hatcher's best season offensively was the 1992-93 season, when he scored 34 goals and 79 points, both career highs. His 34 goals that season led all NHL defensemen.

Hello all, sorry for the absence - I just lost track of the whole "there's a hockey draft going on...." my apologies but now on with the show!
Team He Shoots....He Scooooores!!!! calls to the podium a man who was considered one of the most dominant Right Wingers of his day, Bryan Hextall Sr.
From Wiki: Bryan Aldwyn Hextall (July 31, 1913 in Grenfell, Saskatchewan - July 25, 1984) was a Canadian professional ice hockey forward who played for the New York Rangers in the National Hockey League. He is the father of former NHL players Bryan Hextall Jr & Dennis Hextall, as well as the grandfather of former NHL goaltender Ron Hextall.
Bryan was one of the key players that brought the Stanley Cup to the Rangers in 1940. In fact, he scored the winning goal in the deciding game. He was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1969.
From Legends of Hockey:
Hextall saw his first National Hockey League action in 1936-37, playing with the New York Rangers, recording one assist in three games. He would become a permanent fixture with the Blueshirts the following year playing on his "off wing," many years before the tactic was to become common practice in the league. Hextall found that he had a better shooting angle, as a left-handed shot, by cutting in on goal from the right wing. Using the strategy to his advantage, he led the NHL in goals scored in the 1939-40 and 1940-41 seasons and won the NHL scoring race outright in 1941-42.
Hextall was considered the dominant right winger of his day, earning First Team All-Star selections in 1940, 1941, and 1942 before adding a Second Team All-Star selection to his resume in 1943. He scored perhaps the biggest goal in New York Rangers history on April 13, 1940, in overtime, in game six of the Stanley Cup finals. In Toronto that night, at the 2:07 mark of the fourth period, Hextall beat legendary goaltender Turk Broda to give New York a 3-2 victory in the game and a 4-2 series win to claim the Stanley Cup. Fifty-four years would pass before the Blueshirts drank from the Lord Stanley's bowl again.

And to make up for my 2nd missed pick, Team He Shoots....He Scooooooores!!!! is proud to select another Hall of Fame defenceman, Marcel Pronovost.
From Wiki: Marcel Pronovost (born June 15, 1930 in Lac á la Tortue, Quebec) was a Canadian professional ice hockey defenceman who played for the Detroit Red Wings and Toronto Maple Leafs in the National Hockey League. He played for the Windsor Spitfires of the Ontario Hockey League.
Marcel was one of the best defensive defenceman of his era. He was an important member of the 1950s Red Wings winning four Stanley Cups in 1950, 1952, 1954, 1955, as well as 5th cup 1967 Maple Leaf team. He was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1978. Later served as Scout with New Jersey. In 2003 he set a record for years between first Stanely Cup 1950 and last Stanley Cup 2003 of 53 years.
From Legends of Hockey:
In 1950 the Red Wings were in a tough semi-final series with the Toronto Maple Leafs when Gordie Howe was seriously injured. Red Kelly, a defender, was thrust into duty as a forward and Pronovost was called up from Omaha to take Kelly's place on the blue line. His name was engraved on the Stanley Cup when the Red Wings recovered from Howe's loss to defeat the Leafs and then the Rangers to win the championship. Pronovost was in the minors for part of the next season but won a permanent job with Detroit in 1951-52. He would win the Cup three more times with the Wings, garner seven regular-season titles and be on four consecutive league All-Star Teams including the First Team in 1960 and 1961.
A player like Pronovost, who delivered hits and took even more on his rushes, could expect to receive a daunting array of injuries. In one three-game stretch with the Red Wings, his face was struck by seemingly every conceivable hard surface in a rink - the puck, when his own goalie attempted to clear it; an opponent's stick, though not on purpose; and, on a memorable dive through two defenders, the ice, the net and then the boards. He had four long cuts requiring stitches and a broken nose from the week's work. He estimated at the end of his career that he had broken his nose 14 times, and the list of his many aches and pains reads like a medical exam for trauma care.
In 1965-66, Pronovost was sent to the Toronto Maple Leafs in an eight-player deal that involved Andy Bathgate's going to Detroit. Pronovost joined a solid core of defenders in Toronto and was an integral part of the Over-the-Hill-Gang that won Toronto's last Stanley Cup in 1967 under coach Punch Imlach.
Awards & Achievements:
First All-Star Team Defence (1960, 1961)
Second All-Star Team Defence (1958, 1959)
Stanley Cup Champions as a player (1950-52-54-55 with Detroit)
Stanley Cup Champions as a player (1967 with Toronto)
Stanley Cup Champion as a Scout (1995-2000-03)

The Beantown Bruins are proud to select as their last Defenseman Derian Hatcher.
Like his older brother Kevin he is known for throwing the body and taking people down.
Derian Hatcher is known as a physical defenseman and a strong bodychecker and uses his intimidating size to good effect. He was drafted in the 1st round as the 8th overall selection by the Minnesota North Stars in the 1990 NHL Entry Draft and scored in his NHL debut game on October 12, 1991. Hatcher played for the North Stars and went with them when they moved to Dallas in 1993.
He played another 10 years for the Dallas Stars, collecting 71 goals, 223 assists, 1,380 penalty minutes, and captained the Stars to the Stanley Cup in 1999. In doing so, he became the first American-born captain to win the Stanley Cup.
