I've reached Aug 1 of Season 4! The draft went well, and we signed several draftees from this year and last. Of note is that we have not signed draftees (from season 2 and 3, respectively) Ron Hextall and John Vanbiesbrouck. We also had previously signed Marty Turco. Perhaps two out of those three might be useful in a trade to obtain another draft selection.

As expected, we did lose Hull and Selanne to free agency. Selanne signed for just over $4 mil a season with the Winnipeg 20s, but Hull's move confuses me. He signed for $1.1 mil with the Toronto 60s on a two-way deal, then was promptly assigned to the minors. If he'd stayed with us, he was likely going to be playing on the 4th line, but he'd be in the ATHL at least.

I was hoping to sign John LeClair, someone we had lost via a trade earlier, but he wouldn't sign a two-way deal. I'd say right now our 90s squad looks to be the second-best team on paper, trailing only our developing rival, the London 10s.

Super Mario is still here and the Great One is still with the 80s, so it'll be a great showdown whenever they do play, and a great scoring race!
