All-Time Mock Hockey Draft - please help?

[Mookie]

We recently completed an all time hockey draft made up of 10 teams with 16 players each. Each team has 3 lines of forwards, 3 pairs of defensemen, and 2 goalies. We have already ranked them internally, and now we are looking for some outside feedback. If you’re willing to help us, please look at the 10 teams, with the team city name at the top of the column, and rank them below from 1-10.

Thanks so much in advance for any help you can provide!

Okay, I'll give it a shot:

1. Team Annapolis
2. Team Orlando
3. Team Tampa Bay
4. Team Buffalo
5. Team St. John's
6. Team Miami
7. Team Chicago
8. Team Boston
9. Team Milan
10. Team Montreal

Not enough toughness - any late 80s Norris team would kill any of them.

Appreciate the help lol

That being said I’d take Orlando if I had to chose but I’d be better at critiquing an all time referee/linesmen draft.

Can you please rank the other 9 teams so we can count in our vote? Orlando will be very sad if your 1st place vote doesn’t count for them.

With Orr on 2 legs

I mean, how do you get the puck away from Orr and Lidstrom?

I didn't get through them all yet, but the top two are definitely Orlando and Annapolis.
Annapolis's defense will be hard to score against and Orlando will outpace any team scoring and that third line would shut down most top lines.

I am amazed someone got Orr and Lindstrom.

Not too mention a top line of Ovechkin, Yzerman, and Maurice Richard. When you have Jean Beliveau on your 2nd line and Marcel Dionne on your 3rd line, you're not losing many games

Thanks for the feedback. So the reason that happened (Orr and Lidstrom) is because of what I didn’t share - this hockey draft was part of a much larger 5 sport draft (also basketball, baseball, football, and soccer) where all 5 sports were drafted simultaneously. So GMs tended to focus more on certain sports, leaving a lot of value in the sports they were not focused on for other GMs to capitalize on. If you’d like, I can show you the entire draft to show you what I mean. We do it once per year - it’s called the Mega Draft and it’s a ton of fun. In a normal one sport hockey draft, zero chance Orr and Lidstrom get paired

Wow I missed the 3rd line all together on that team. They are scoring a TON of goals and not allowing many in. The fact Giordano and Kelly would only have to play 5-10 minutes because their top 4 would essentially stop most offenses all playing well over 25 minutes a game.

Yeah, Peter Bondra remains one of the most underrated superstars in NHL history.
