NHL 1 Per Team Draft - Discussion

Excellent. I'd be in for both drafts if you liked my idea enough.

Yes I really like your idea. I really like both ideas.

I am not sure about running two drafts at the same time... hopefully we can get this one finished quick...

Then get through both of those ideas... then that could bring us to the play-in draft time!

[DusterDave]

Yeah, I thought the same thing. Pick one format and go with it and then hopefully we have time to do the second idea but the actual NHL play-in/play-offs draft will be priority.

Count me in please!! Great idea Duster Dave!!

Lindros was great value as he was the most dominant player when he was at his peak in Philly.. I still like the pick!! HaHa

He's not the best Flyer of all time. He's actually not close. That's a "Go back to NYC, you Rangers fan!" sort of opinion, unless you were basically a kid at the time he was playing or shortly after. Actually a really bad deal for the Flyers, in hindsight. I wasn't in love with it when it happened.

Yes the Bobby Clarke pick was the best pick of the draft so far right?

I wouldn't go that far. There were some really savvy picks overall. And he wouldn't have been my selection there given your options, seeing everyone who went after and who is still left. Solid pick though, way, way better than Lindros.

Nice pick Dr. Brad.. But I wanted Ted Lindsay(Detroit) over Datsyuk!! The other Red Wings taken so far are Howe, Lidstrom, Yzerman, Fedorov, and Lindsay.. I would definitely rank them all over Datsyuk, even though he was very special in his own right!!

sooo..... My plan was to pick either Lindsay (who I had in our all-time draft) or Datsyuk - was waiting for one to be chosen, then choose the other. And I agree - only one of them has an award named for him

This is some excellent strategizing, by the way.

If you guys decide to do another draft of some sort, shoot me a PM.

Each to their own I guess.. During the time Lindros played for the Flyers, he was definitely the most productive Philadelphia Flyer ever.. 659 points in 486 games is dominant!! Yes he had his linemates(LOD line), but the years Leclair didn't have Lindros on the ice with him, his highest point totals were 55 points.. You clearly hate Lindros and the whole trade, I for the record wouldn't have traded all that for Lindros.. But 659 points in 486 games is enough for me to say he is the most dominant Flyer of all time in my opinion.. Parent and Clarke were definitely valuable and helped win them some cups.. But Lindros had nobody even close to Parent's ability in goal when he was in Philly!!

I don't hate Lindros. He does lead in points per game, but he was playing in offensive era, and did get hurt. He's just not nearly as valuable as other guys were. Thanks for telling me what I think, though.

Lindros most certainly did not play during an offensive era. Heplayed throughout the dead puck era, when scoring was down significantly thanks to the neutral zone trap.

Hey Steve, I am just giving my opinion. I am not at all telling you what to think. We are just trying to have fun here. You actually attacked my opinion, so I was just trying to show you my thinking process. I'm sorry if I offended you in anyway by drafting Lindros. We can have our own opinions, I definitely have accepted that!!

It looks like everyone hates the Canadiens... 4 of the top 6 on my list have been drafted to other teams...

That's probably my fault. The Federov pick.

That opened the flood gates!!

Or look at it the other way. Everyone loves the Canadiens so much that they are drafting some of the players on other teams to try to get as many Habs on their roster as possible.
