96/97 NHL Pre Season and Draft
No major fre agents, Kasatonov and Murphy are both over 35 and are only major names in there. Richer contract is coming up and he is 30, but i am going to trade him at the Draft as Elias and Hejduk are ready. I also have Koivu on the team, but he is not better than anyone else. Nedved probably the player to go. I will get some future draft picks as this team is good for a few years.
Draft:
Such is the low scoring of the dead puck era, feels a shock that there's some unavailable players here in Thornton & Hossa. Theres some good players in this draft.
1-Thornton-FLA
2-Luongo-TB
3-Marleau-SJ
4-Morrow-STL
5-Gomez-NJ-Two more players going to their original teams!
6-B. Campbell-Pitt
7-Hossa-Col
8-Tanguay-Anaheim
9-Trade Richer and my 23rd pick for Ottawa 9th and Edmonton's pick they had, and their number 1 pick for next year
Nagy-NY Rangers
21-Maxim Afinogenov
Nedved goes to Toronto for 97 and 98 1st rnd picks, givin up my 98 1st and 2nd. Now have 4 1st rnd picks next year with Phoenix Ottawa and Toronto, and then just Toronto's next year. Zetterberg, Richards, Gagne and some excellent goalies as well. Talking of which JIm Carey will have to go next year so Vokoun can come in. None of my goalies look that impressive, but Khabibulin has excellent stats and is my number 1 despite Carey being ranked better.
