I missed this the first time, but this is perhaps the best thing ever. It took me a minute to figure out that this was Fetisov and Jagr. I'm impressed that you bothered to fully enunciate "Vyatcheslav", seventies.

But 'Vyatches' and 'The gaseous' sound nothing alike

And Salming, Firsov, and Henri Richard all had humorous results as well, that betrayed my excellent pronunciation!
The Chara one was particularly awesome, as it actually used a different players name and made him east Indian!
Bah, the draft I won is always going to be the tainted one, eh? Like winning the cup in a lockout year.
Too much bickering beforehand leading to a reluctant shift of power... Absentee rookie GMs, missed clocks, teams taken over, ill advised add/drops, a handful of ridiculous assistant coaches, the Montreal forum ghosts drafted, bloated to 40 teams for apparently the one time in history... plus we got sabred by a zamboni islander.

That was awesome in retrospective.
What is the shift of power you're talking about though? (I wasn't there before 2011 so I don't know what you're talking about).
I'm not trying to badmouth Nalyd by any means, but it is interesting to look back at that trade we made where people thought that I got the worse end of it:
To Nalyd:
36 - Nighbor
96- H. Smith
157-Flaman
Pick 356
To Fireworks:
60- C. Conacher
69- T. Kennedy
133- Hod Stuart (picked by Dreamkur)
Pick 380
Sorry for the delay fellas just got out of work. Since Jafar took my guy I'll go a different direction.
Pittsburgh selects LW, Sweeney Schriner
He led the league in scoring twice as a member of the lowly New York Americans and was an excellent puckhandler. I don't know much more other than the joke he made about not backchecking and am interested to learn more.

His wikipedia article is very comprehensive and has links to good articles in google archives. I thought he was the BPA at 165, but decided to go in a different direction...

VanIslander was the dictator of the ATD board going into 2011, and like any good dictator, he ran things incredibly efficiently, but wanted them done his way. There was something of an uprising when he tried to change the trading rules without allowing what was considered enough input, and VI quit the draft. And then his two then-undetected puppet accounts quit, leading us to think there was a major problem. Eventually all his accounts came back in as participants, but there was a leadership vacuum. Seventieslord basically took up the "commish" role for the 2011 draft on the fly.

Long story short, the pre draft talks for 2011 were the beginning of the very open and democratic system we now have. The old regime wanted to dictate rules, and a few of us said "let's vote on it", old regime jumped ship and left a power vacuum, then it was recommended that I become a mod, which I did because someone here has to be able to edit the OP... at the very least.

He actually used his fake accounts to create the illusion that the fact he was leaving the draft had some heavy consequences (like GMs quitting (even though they returned after))?
