With our 4th pick, The Flying Elbows are proud to name our Starting Goaltender...

A man who never cared about personal stats, placing team victories and championships above all else... the man whom Wayne Gretzky called "the greatest goaltender in history"... Five Stanley Cups and a lifetime of nightmares for any Flames fan...

From Spruce Grove, Alberta... Grant Fuhr!

In 1979, at the age of seventeen, Fuhr joined the Victoria Cougars of the WHL. After two stellar seasons in Victoria, which included the league championship and a trip to the Memorial Cup in 1981, Fuhr was drafted 8th overall by the Edmonton Oilers in the 1981 NHL Entry Draft. He played for the Oilers for ten seasons, where he teamed up with Andy Moog for several of them to form one of the most formidable goaltending tandems in history, and won five Stanley Cups. He was the team's starting goaltender on the first four teams, but was injured and did not play in the 1990 playoffs, when the Oilers won for the fifth time. Fuhr played in the National Hockey League All-Star Game in 1984, 1985, 1986, 1988, and 1989. In 1987, he played in goal for the NHL All-Stars in both games of the Rendez-Vous '87 series against the Soviet National Team. In 1987, Fuhr backstopped Canada to a victory at the Canada Cup, playing in all nine games, then played in 75 regular season and 19 playoff games. He won his only Vezina Trophy as the NHL's top goaltender that year and finished second in voting for the Hart Memorial Trophy as league MVP, behind Mario Lemieux and ahead of teammate Wayne Gretzky.

So it was Scott Stevens that captained the Devils, right? :P

4th Round Pick

From the B's -- right wing Cam Neely

(he's the one on the right)

Maybe not the first power forward, but I'm pretty sure he was the first guy called a "power forward". One of my all time favourites.

Increased ice time allowed the 6'1", 215 pound winger to explode offensively. In 1986-87, he tallied 36 times, followed by seasons with 42, 37, 55 and 51 goals. Injuries reduced Cam's season to just nine games in 1991-92 and 13 the next season. Returning to play in 1993-94 after the two injury-riddled seasons, Neely proved that he hadn't lost his ability to score, collecting 50 goal in just 49 games (second fastest in NHL history) and earning Cam the Masterton Trophy for perseverance and dedication. In spite of nagging injuries, in the ten seasons Neely played for the Bruins, he still led the team in scoring seven times, including three campaigns with fifty or more goals.

Your pick Rouge...

[Superflyer]

Damn you Rouge!!!
He is my second favorite player of all time and I was about to take him with this pick. I know I should have taken him earlier but I really thought that he would have slipped a little more. If you want to trade some time let me know.

The Beantown Bruins are proud to select as our fourth round selection our second Defense man Brad Park



Park was drafted by the New York Rangers in the first round (2nd overall) in the 1966 NHL Amateur Draft and, after a brief stint with the minor-league Buffalo Bisons of the AHL, began playing for the Rangers in 1968. He quickly became the Rangers' best defenceman and drew comparisons with the great Bobby Orr. His offensive skill, stickhandling and pugnacity attracted much attention from fans.
Park was made the alternate captain of the Rangers and briefly served as their captain. In 1972 Park led his team to the Stanley Cup finals but lost to Orr and the Boston Bruins. That same year he was the runner-up for the Norris Trophy and was named Best Defenceman in the 1972 Summit Series. In 1975–76, the Rangers got off to their worst start in ten years and the team began getting rid of their high-priced veterans. On November 7th, 1975, one of the biggest trades of the era was made. Park, star centre Jean Ratelle and minor-leaguer Joe Zanussi were traded to Boston for superstar scoring champion Phil Esposito and defenceman Carol Vadnais.
While Esposito and Vadnais remained effective players for the Rangers, the Bruins had struck gold. In Boston Park served under coach Don Cherry and continued his great success. He came second in the Norris Trophy race twice in a Bruins' uniform. In 1977 and 1978 Park went with Boston to the Stanley Cup finals but lost to Montreal both times. His last hurrah with Boston was in the 1983 playoffs, when he scored a long-remembered overtime goal to beat the Buffalo Sabres in the seventh game of their playoff series.
The following season Park signed with the Detroit Red Wings as a free agent and won the Bill Masterton Trophy for perseverance that same year, having set a record for assists by a Red Wings' defenceman. After the 1985 season, still an effective player but hobbled by repeated knee injuries, he announced his retirement. The next year he briefly served as Detroit's coach.
In 1988 Park was elected in his first year of eligibility to the Hockey Hall of Fame in his hometown of Toronto.

nice job, Superflyer. 6 time runner up to the Norris. Some great d-men in the 70s.

Details later but I pick the best left winger ever Lucky Luc Robitaille

and for details I'll just copy prototype (thanks)

And now, back to our story...



http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luc_Robitaille

Some may say he wasn't the greatest LW to play the game, but you can't argue that he wasn't one of the classiest.

From Wiki:
Luc Robitaille (born February 17, 1966 in Montreal, Quebec) is a retired professional ice hockey player. During his 19-season National Hockey League career, Robitaille won a Stanley Cup in 2001-02 with the Detroit Red Wings, and played for the Pittsburgh Penguins and New York Rangers, but is most known for his fourteen seasons with the Los Angeles Kings.[1] Robitaille retired after the 2005-06 season as the highest-scoring left winger in NHL history and the holder of several Kings franchise records,[2] as well as numerous Kings playoff records.

Sorry.

Blame the guy who took Stevens. He was next for me and I thought I'd have Neely on the turnaround. After Stevens went I couldn't risk it.

I would consider trading Neely for your first right winger.

Easy now. I'm going to butt in before Proto goes nuts.

A) Time limit is 15 hours.
B) Hardly anyone picks between the hours of 10pm-9am.
C) He's probably getting to work now.

let me assure you, it is just a 'heads up' to Proto.

A couple times people have gone over the time or almost reached the full time before realizing it was their turn.

I was just putting it out their in case he didn't notice the change in the thread title. Certainly not an attempt to push him along.

Rant deleted due to Luc mistake... I'll pay more attention next time.

I knew someone was going to be outraged when if Cam Neely didn't fall to him!

Really? I thought him whining about not being on Gretzky's 99 All Star team during the lockout was pretty sad.
