NHL Modern Era Draft Discussion Thread - Page 2 - Sporting Events and Fantasy Sports

EPiPeN11 convinced me to do another NBA Draft once this is over. Gonna make it a one year only league and have every player who played a game from 1979-80 to the present eligible(except only at the age they played within that time frame), so that should make things a lot different than last time.

that is a very good idea.

no joke, but Bill Berg was one of my favorite players for a while.

Underrated forechecker...Darby Hendrickson didnt quite fill his shoes afterwards.

I think I am a bit too excited about doing this. Then again, I always do enjoy doing drafts.

Man this snuck up. I'm mostly a casual hockey fan compared to my borderline obsession with baseball and football, so I probably have some research ahead of me. Obsessively researching was my favorite part of the NFL Modern Era draft though. Are there any geeky hockey stats I should be aware of?

Not sure what I think of having the 5th pick...

Bill Berg was part of the best checking line in NHL history. Y'all need to show a little respect.

if this were a real draft, I would too. But thats another argument for another day. Also, its sooo much easier to argue for the #1 guy (you know who Im talking about). its really hard to ignore his dominating numbers. Most dominating single player in all four major sports ever, period.

You're right. My bad. I misread it. I read it as must have played after 79/80, not first game in 79/80.
