Alex Connell ​

Alexander is an NHL franchise player who has natural scoring instincts and an all-around game. Possesses offensive flair like Ilya Kovalchuk and Nikolai Zherdev, but is more physical and uses his frame better. He Owns a deadly right-handed shot, and likes to play from his off-wing. He has improved his passing game and has backed up his confidence and brash talk with stellar end to end play

Skating: A superb skater with excellent acceleration and top speed...very good first step…maintains a fast tempo throughout the game...very hard to knock down with the puck...skates well through traffic. Shot: Possesses a strong, precise wrist shot with a very quick and deceiving release: he appears to shoot the puck high, but manages to wrist it to just underneath the cross bar...possesses a great, precise backhand...though not used as often, his slap shot is very strong, with a quick release...primarily uses the slap shot on the junior squad, when he comes out as a fourth forward on a power play. Technical Ability: A terrific puck handler...possesses great hand to eye coordination...very soft hands Pass: Makes very precise passes, right on the stick...sees the ice very well and makes excellent passes...in junior competition, tends to crash the net, taking two or three players with him, and then passing the puck off to the side to a wide open teammate. Hockey Sense: An already very mature player...terrific vision of the ice...great awareness of his teammates. Defensive Play: Mostly responsible defensively, but defensive lapses do occur as a result of his primarily offense-minded approach... skates well backwards and uses his acceleration to get back into the defensive zone, but is usually also the first player out of the zone on the offensive rush.Physical Play: At 6’3, Ovechkin is a physical power forward who has had to deal with being double teamed on the junior level for the past three seasons...solidly built and can take many hits without losing the puck...fights very well at the boards...though not known for hitting, can deliver strong hits at the boards and by the opponent’s crease.

Iam open to the idea of a trade

I have 6 great natural Left Wingers on my team.
I would be interested in a equally high quality RW

[GKJ]

With my last 2 picks, I will take Kim Johnsson and Charlie Huddy

 

[BM67]

One of your picks has to be a 3rd goalie.

Mike Luit instead of Huddy then

 

[Spitfire11]

Don Marcotte for my spare forward

 

[Leaf Lander]

I have noticed 2 GM's who havent finshed there all tiem rosters

IMO if the other GM's do not make there selections within a week

I suggest that BM67 make the picks for them so thererosters are finalized!

 

[kruezer]

Should I pick now? I am ready whenever you guys give me the go ahead.

 

[BM67]

monster_bertuzzi has 4 skipped picks, Bobby Ryan Getzlaf has 2, and DrMoses has 1. kruezer and Maxwell Edison each have traded away an extra pick, so they have one roster spot to fill, but will have to wait for the minor draft to start.

kruezer and Maxwell Edison both need their 3rd goalie. DrMoses needs his 7th defenseman. Bobby Ryan Getzlaf needs his 3rd goalie and his 7th defenseman. monster_bertuzzi needs his coach, 3rd goalie and two left wings.

The minor league draft will start sometime in January, and these picks will be made up before then.

For the minor draft, should we keep the same order or change it up?

 

[Spitfire11]

I say change it up. Start a new all-time4 part II thread as well.

 

[Leaf Lander]

im in favour of keeping it the same

it is the same draft after all

 

[VanIslander]

For the minor draft, should we keep the same order or change it up?

We should do something fun like: guess how many goals will be scored on a particular day of NHL hockey (no duplicate guesses) and the one closest drafts first, etc... with ties resolved simply by saying under beats over.(shootout goals don't count - just the final tally, eg., 3-2 OT win = 5 pts even if seven shootout goals happened).

For example...

The following games are on new year's eve:

Dec 31, 2005 Rangers Penguins
Dec 31, 2005 Flyers Capitals
Dec 31, 2005 Mighty Ducks Blues
Dec 31, 2005 Canucks Wild
Dec 31, 2005 Maple Leafs Devils
Dec 31, 2005 Blue Jackets Red Wings
Dec 31, 2005 Canadiens Hurricanes
Dec 31, 2005 Kings Stars
Dec 31, 2005 Avalanche Coyotes
Dec 31, 2005 Oilers Flames

I guess 67 goals wil be scored in the NHL that night.

You?

Leaf Lander doesn't want this way of deciding draft order.

(BTW, 77 goals it was: Hedberg was closest)

I don't mind, January is a very busy month for me, so it isn't gonna work.

VanIslander OUT.

Happy New Year and may 2006 be good to you!
