1994/1995 Pre Season & Draft

This is a full 84 game season. Free Agency is in effect and their is no salaray cap.

Straight away there are some major free agents available. -Bourque-Chelios-Gilmour and Hartsburg

In the restricted fa pool there is just a depth of talent Jagr Roy Selanne Yzerman Brodeur Kariya and Sundin! Teams have monoey to spend let the feeding frenzy begin!

Trades Islander get Duchesne(29) but give up Tkachuk(22) to Pitt
Stars trade Stumpel(21) for Verbeek(30) and a 2nd rnd pick
Calgary get Greg Adams(30) for Adam Foote(22)-dumb trade

Draft

Have the 25th pick, Chara Savard and Iginla are available.

I however trade Olausson for that pick for Elias.

1-Chara-Florida
2-Iginla-Anaheim
3-Savard-Quebec
4-Redden-Tampe Bay
8-Briere-Chicago
21-Berrard-NYI

a bland draft. My my current team, is set for the next few years, Only question is when Kovalev, Satan, Demotra Elias and Koivu join. I will most likely trade some for some defenders as only Visnovsky in prospect pool. Question of finance will come up soon, But for the time being i am standing stock still.

Free Agents-
Lemieux now has Bourque on his blue line will it make a difference! Calgary get so much stronger with Chelios and Brodeur, the loss of Adam Foote slightly negated but he was much younger.

Bourque-Edmonton
Chelios-Calgary
Gilmour-San Jose
Hartsburg-Boston
Roy-Penguins
Brodeur-Calgary

All rfa stay with their original team, as Islanders don't lose Selanne or Sundin, i try to offer sheet Gonchar but Montreal easily matches it. I have everyone signed for next year except Cam Neely who at 29 wanted 8 years and no movement, we couldn't come to an agreement, so will try again at Christmas.

Islanders make a fairly sensible trade, gary suter 30, for Steen 34.
THEN A GIANT TRADE

Lindros goes to Edmonton with Lemieux, for Luc Robitaille Don't know what Phily are thinking are 7 years between them, but man did Edmonton make some moves this summer!
