1993/94 Draft and Expansion Draft

Chicago sent Shanahan to the Islanders for James Patrick. Weird trade as Islanders don't need forwards but do need def. However Shanahan is younger, and Bossy is 36 and not the player her way. Gives them a fearsome young top 6, of Tkachuk Selanne Mogilny Rolston Shanahan and Sundin!
Playoff rule change to my favourite which is seeding per conference bar division winners.

Not sure what the rules are for the expansion draft, as there are 2, and first one most of my team isn't even elligble and they can all be protected. So many good goalies in this expansion draft that Curits Joseph isn't even picked! He should have been though, Dafoe and Potvin are decent goalies to have!

Main Amateur Draft

I have Hartford 13th overall pick and i also have mine. I do however have an excess of players.

Def
Pronger not ready, but Niedermayer is and Steve Duchesnse is odd man out

GK
Only have 4 goalies on the book. Carey will be traded another year.

Off
Koavlev is promoted, Koivu Demitra and Satan in reserve. Damphousse is out.

Draft: Kiprusoff, Elias are superstars of the draft. Some good D, with Boyle and Jovanovski and Visnovsky. We are entering dead puck era, this is probably another era where i can easily dominate, especially when Gretzky retires.

I trade for 2 Penguins Pics-which is probably a mistake as i have lots of strong teams in my division now. Washington NYI and Pitt all have strong teams now. Leaves me with 9th 12 and 13th pick

1-Souray-Fla
2-Doan-Ana
3-Jovanovski-Ott
4-O'Neill-Stl
5-Elias-Tampa
6-Boyle-Mon
7-Sykota-San Jose
8-Smyth-Van
9-Vishnovsky-Rangers
10-Kiprusoff-Que
11-Theodore-Que
12-Hejduk Rangers
13-Vokoun Rangers

16 Drury-LAK

I wanted Kiprusoff-Elias-Boyle, and i got Vokoun-Hejduk-Vishnovksy.
Not a bad draft, but could have been better. I may well look to tade for those three players once they sign NHL contracts.

The third draft is all about Anaheim and Florida giving back some players to the 3 recents nhl teams, San Jose Ottawa and Tampa bay after the 2 drafts. Those terams get two players each

Florida choose to let Potvin go back available which is just crazy! Would have kept him over Healy but hey ho
