So in this, my third PtG, game I really set out to get the "Nationalism" achievement by field an entirely Canadian Oilers team.
But while trying to off-load Andrey Sekera I dared to dream of Nathan MacKinnon and the idea of a team of Macs was born.
Now I ended up paying dearly for MacKinnon as the Avs wasn't satisfied with a straight swap with Sekera (?), so I added Jesse Puljujärvi and my 2017 first round pick. So with that in mind I intent to keep tabs on how everyone involved in that deal shakes out. With MacKinnon on board to complement McDavid I went back to Denver to get Cody McLeod - again, it got quite expensive as I was deeply committed and lacked the patience to put together a decent trade.
Anyways, here's my transactions and my opening night roster:
*"The Team of all the Macs" is a reference to my favorite football team Liverpool FC, who early on in the 1890's were largely dependent on Scottish players
