1997/1998 Draft and Pre Season
No big free agents here, Ruotsalinen is a 3 star player.
I get Sanderson, Palffy, Ozolinsh & Vokoun to sign for 3.4 years all less for 1.5 million. Linden and B'Amour askf for 4.5, but get them both for 3.85 for 7 years. Brind'amour need a NTC to sign as did Palffy, but that 'll work. Still leave me 7 million of budget for nexy year.
Draft, Unavailable to me are Lecavalier, and the Sedin twins, Zetterberg and Richards are available though projected to be 4th and 8th. I have a lot of picks this draft, Toronto, Phoenix, Ottawa and my own. Ottawa finished 22nd, Toronto 17th and Phoenix 12th, meaning i have the 5th, 11th and 15th pick of this draft!
1-D. Sedin-Anaheim
2-H. Sedin-Tampa Bay
3-Zetterberg-Florida
4-Lecavalier-Ottawa(97 1 and 97 3 to get this from SJ!)
5-B. Richards-NYR
6- M. Fischer-Colorado
7-Ribeiro-Washington
8-R. Miller-Chicago
9-Ryder-Boston
10-Gagne Penguins
There not much here maybe Brygalov, but i don't need him so i look to trade away Jim Carey and my remaining picks.
Trade him to Colorado for their 98 1st and 99st, whilst i give them Toronto 1st Rnd this year. Hopefully they'll be rubbish in a couple years time Trade my last two picks for Penguins 1st 1998. I have Tor, Pit and Col 1st rnd next year, and Dal Col and mine in 99. Dallas were 5th last year everyone else was between 15th and 19th. So hopefully at least one will turn into a top 5 pick. Ruotslainen, shockingly joins our rivlas the Devils!
