| Wow Beans. You certainly surprised me with that last pick. I knew he'd be chosen, i just didn't think it would be by you. He's the polar opposite of an offensively minded player. |

| Your right Willus. I do need those kinds of guys. Not so much two way players, but either offensive or defensive. I have a feeling my team would play in alot of 7-6 kind of games. |

| After the teams are compiled i suggest we also show the lines we would roll and defensive pairings so we know what everyone was thinking when picking their players. It would be easier to judge the teams that way. Thoughts? |

| Sounds like a good idea to me (but my forwards will most likely be jumbled because i don't want to take the time to take left wings, right wings and centers). |

Any forward can play at any position, a lot of players are listed as centers but play the wing, Bill Berg for the leafs is listed as Defence and he played forward...

All that talk about players not in the hall, and Oils takes Dino Ciccarelli...
Not a bad pick at all...

Keep er going...

| Willus if your focusing so much on Defense why don't you have a goalie? Or is this a strategy save goalies for last or something. |

| I guess i can share some of my strategy now. I chose my d-men asap because there are less great d-men than there are great forwards to chose from. Or that's my opinion anyway. And I wanted the d-men that could play at both ends of the ice as well. That list is even smaller. As for goalies, well.... have you seen my defense? They could stop a tiger tank. I don't even need a goalie. But there are quite a few outstanding goalies available so I'm not real worried. |

Not a bad theory Willus. For me once I had Brodeur as my goalie, any other goalie as a backup will do, only 18 goalies will be selected. As for defence there are a great number still left to go, that is why I stuck with forwards for a while, I was not sure if I could get the GAG line or not, but mission accomplished, now the rest of the team...

Have you seen Park, wow he needed to play hockey just to keep the weight off, well I guess we are not asking them to lace up the skates, although it would be interesting...

That's a pretty good strategy. |

Yeah, he's a large fellow. I said this awhile back on here somewhere that I saw him play a few years ago in the old timers game and he is a tad overweight, yet you could still see how talented he was. Playing against young fit guys and making them look like children. Granted they are amateurs but still, he's old and pudgy.
Seriously he was an amazing player and by and large does not get the credit he deserves. He had the misfortune of playing when Orr and Potvin were in their primes. Always in their shadow. He was Norris runner up 6 times. That's pretty impressive. |

| What happened with this? It was working quite well. Has everyone lost interest? I'm still quite interested in seeing how this turns out. |

| Mostly we've been waiting for 1CF. Other than that, I dunno...we've just been slow. When the students here get off for spring break in the coming weeks I'll bet it'll be even slower since several of us might go somewhere for a vacation or something. I'll be going to Minnesota and Wisconsin but I'll be bringing my laptop with me so I can still post. |

| I think that there are far too many players chosen that are far from 'greatest of all time'. How can a player be a G.O.A.T player if they havent had long, productive, careers? |

| Well the reason I've taken so many current/young players is because I am young and it's hard for me to compare the older players that I haven't seen. I know Crosby has only played <2 seasons but you can't tell me that he isn't one of the most skilled players ever. |

I completely disagree with this argument. :)
He (they) may be one the most skilled players ever, he may have incredible potential.. but this does not make they anywhere near a GOAT player. Only a potential GOAT player.
IMO of course. |

One who appreciates high end audio equipment and the music it reveals.
Most don't realize there are brands other than the mass market garbage. |

| And some like me don't care what brand it is as long as it's affordable and sounds ok. |

If anyone wants to respond to this, the best place would be the GOAT discussion thread in the Hockey History forum.
Your post in the User Poll about this was a good point--since members here are from different generations, the players they select will reflect that for the most part. We younger members don't know all the greats from the 60s or 70s off the tops of our heads, but we know who's on fire right now, and of our time, they are the greatest. Maybe we should've had an Over 25 GOAT draft and an under 25 GOAT draft, lol. |
