Hi all!

I am going to be starting a new franchise on FHM5 with the newest team of the NHL, the Seattle Totems! The Totems will be joining the pacific division while the Arizona Coyotes make their move to the central division to start the 2018-2019 NHL season.

Let's get ready we have an expansion draft to finish up so let's hop right on in to it!

The roster we assembled after the expansion draft is as follows.

G - J. Saros
G - T. Griess
G - T. Jarry
G - E. Comrie
LD - D. Heatherington
LD - C. Djoos
LD - M. Del Zotto
LD - B. McNabb
LD - J. Ryan
LD - J. McCabe
RD - J. Subban
RD - C. Bigras
RD - J. Spurgeon
RD - T. Myers
RD - P. Nemeth
RD - B. Orpik
LW - A. Duclair
LW - M. Bunting
LW - R. Panik
LW - M. Johansson
LW - C. Coyle
LW - B. Boyle
LW - V. Kamenev
C - M. Amadio
C - C. Soderberg
C - D. Stephan
C - V. Filppula
C - P. Bellemare
C - J. Dickinson
RW - J. Williams
RW - J. Eberle
RW - T. Lewis
RW - R. Reaves
RW - R. Hartman
RW - N. Scherback

Scherback, Amadio, Kamenev, Bunting, Duclair, Bigras, Subban, Heatherington, Djoos, Jarry and Comrie would all find their way down to our AHL affiliate the New York Fire to start the season.

Our inaugural season jumped off just as we expected it would. Decent. We drafted a team that would put some butts in the seats but ultimately we knew the climb was going to be tough to not end up in the bottom 5 of the league. Our goalie tandem of Greiss/Saros really kept us at about .500 all the way up until the trade deadline. Trade deadline day came and we knew what we had to do. There were some older players that were casualties of the expansion draft that we knew deserved a chance to go play for a contender and that would still fetch some decent returns for. We had to be careful to make sure we stayed above the cap floor though. The trades we made on deadline day were as follows.

SEA trades J. Williams to CBJ for a 3rd and 4th round pick in 2019

SEA trades M. Johansson to BOS for a 3rd and 4th round pick in 2019

SEA trades B. Boyle to STL for a 2nd round draft pick in 2019.

SEA trades M. Del Zotto and a 4th round pick in 2019 to CGY for J. Neal and a 1st round draft pick in 2019.

So we obviously were sellers on deadline day and were very happy with the results. We had plenty of room for Neal and his albatross contract and we were happy with getting CGY's 1st this year.

Needless to say after the deadline the wheels continued to fall off and we finished with a 34-43-5 record, good for last in the pacific and 5th worst in the league. Nobody enjoys losing but we knew what we were in for to start the season and we had some great draft picks heading into the draft.
