1986/1987 Season
Season starts off terribly, with 3 defeats in four. It might end up that my draft pick is the best one i have at this rate! 10 games in and we are 4-5-1. Turgeon has a career day verses the Islanders for 3 goals and 4 assists. We are on course to concede 400 goals in a season! Dan Quin is dropped after 1 point in 14 games, try to trade him for Bondra, but thats not even an option.
At half way stage we have 49 points, Unger has replaced Quinn, who after 20 ames out took over from Steve Thomas. The Devils are 20 points clear of us, their defence is why they are top. Our defence is a leaky sieve. Lemieux has 98 points Gretzky 79, but Bullard at Stl has 88! Goulet has 53 goals for Vancouver. Detroit are last in their division 6 points but with 3 games in hand. Chicago has two draft picsk theirs and Buf's, i trade them for Quebec, who are last in their divison but improving quick with Yzerman and Gilmour, 2 2 star prospects and the Bos pick, who are top of their division. That might give me 2 top 8 picks hopefully if Quebec improve.
Since we dumped Quinn from top lines duties, we are flying again, we are now 4 wins behind them with 27 games to go. Devils lost 6 games in January, whilst we lost 2, Have a change of top spot again, but who knows. Quin wlll be traded for drafts picks at next years draft. The 87 canada cup comes at the right time for the Devils. Lets see if we can catch them , or if the break gives them the timne to regroup.
End of Season, we get to within one of the Devils, but a 6-3 loss to pittsburgh with 2 games to go, means i ennd 2nd in the conference. However Minnesota go on a sensatinal tear to win the presidents trophy!
Lemieux gets art Ross with 218, Gretzky only 3rd in a poor Detroit team again. Oilers have almost 3 60 goal scorers again, Hull only te 53 this year. Bullard an excellent 166 for 2nd. Goulet top scorer with 88.
Cloutier pulled us out of trouble, but silver lining my trades came off, as Quebec finished 11th, Chicago 7th, but Buffalo 18th and Washington 17th. This gives me an excellent chance at Modano and Lidstrom. 18 100 point scorers and 17 50 goal scores
