1999/2000 Expansion, Draft& Pre Season

Expansion Draft

We have the 2nd expansion draft of 3 i believe this year, with this one being Atlanta, then Columbus and Minnesota join next year. my staff need refreshing as getting old.

Unprotected-Legace-Ozolinsh-Visnovsky-Hejduk, Sanderson, Kovalev.

Lose Legace. Roster moves. Richards is ready for 1st team game time. Kovalev will be traded. Ozolinsh is being traded as to be replaced by Mark Streit. Di Pietro will be back up at 18 years old. We have 15 million to speed on contracts next year with only Yashin to sign, so no issues. 1.8 for 3 years is more than resonable to me!

Trades
-Dumb trade by Anaheim Heatey 18yo for Fl 27yo Knutsen
Florida looking scary all of a sudden With Datsyuk, Chara, Heatley Regehr Zetterberg. They just need a goalie now.

Draft
next year is the key one, with Kovalchuk and Spezza. This year is Lundqvist, Gaborik and not much else. We have 5th, 21, 26 and 28. I'm going to trade Kovalev and Ozolinsh, to try and get picks for next year.

1-Lundqvist-Atlanta
2-Cammalleri-NJ
3-Hartnell-Nashville
4-Vermette-Nashville
5-Gaborik-Rangers
And with that i trade ozolinsh and det rnd 1 to Van for 00 & 01 draft picks. Kovalev and my 2 remaining 1st rnd picks this year for their 00&01 draft picks. Rienhard Davis signed as back up goalie, as DiPietro not ready.

Florida get their GT in Fernandez from Nashville, but have to give up Chara. Not the worst trade, but they'll miss Chara. Also trade my 02 1sdt rnd and 2 4th, for Det 1st in that year. I'm really betting on Det to plummet once Gretzky goes as all their team is old and only D. Boyle in D is good under 30. He was traded for Amonte.
