digitalmonkey 929 Posted September 24, 2010 Author Share Posted September 24, 2010 Got kinda lucky then, heh.I planned on taking Stamkos with the pick I used on McRae, but someone lese could have grabbed him I guess. Link to post Share on other sites
Zach6668 513 Posted September 24, 2010 Share Posted September 24, 2010 Ah, didn't see that. I would imagine Bob probably goes Stamkos over Duchene, but they you probably get Duchene anyways. Fun to look back on drafts like this. Link to post Share on other sites

Babying 613 Posted September 25, 2010 Share Posted September 25, 2010 Dale thanks for posting this. Definitely really fun looking at this.I remember this clearly. I wanted Backstrom and took Erik Johnson out of default. Still rather have Backstrom. I was zeroing in on Stamkos and Duchense but with the late pick in the 2nd round, I took Doughty.BTW, I started with absolutely nothing. Only draft picks and money. Link to post Share on other sites
MapleLeafpoker 1,462 Posted September 25, 2010 Share Posted September 25, 2010 A pure expansion team only had money to spend and bad draft picks. You had some assets. You are far far far better off getting any team than an expansion team that has nothing.Its not about having something vs not having anything. Its the discrepancy between the teams. If it didnt mess up the rest of the teams and the subsequent free agent auction, I would have preferred we play like true expansion teams, and get just money+picks. But the way it happened, there was a huge difference on the assets new owners got, based on nothing other than randomness.Again, this isnt sour grapes, Im happy I had to start where I did. I wouldnt want a powerhouse team, no fun to win that way. I like burning down the whoever they were, and rebuilding a Whalers franchise.Im just saying I disagree with it, and it seems inherently unfair. Especially when you consider Dale got nothing as a true expansion. Imagine Bob if YOU left the pool. Someone gets to take over that? Link to post Share on other sites

digitalmonkey 929 Posted October 8, 2010 Author Share Posted October 8, 2010 Gothic snapped up a couple of players off waivers today.F Stefan Meyer CGY - Ivanans (sp?) got his bell rung bigtime last night. Meyer might get more opportunity.D Brendan Mikkelson ANA - Mikkelson was originally drafted by the Gothic. He has some untapped offensive skills (ala Zbynek Michalek) in my opinion and Anaheim may give everyone a chance at the PP point. Unfortunately, I didn't have time to get him into today's lineup.

Unfortunately, I didn't have time to get him into today's lineup.That's part of the reason I think getting Lydman for 50 cents was a steal for me. Other than Lubomir the Ducks really don't have a lot of offense from their D and once he's seeing straight Lydman will get some PP time. Link to post Share on other sites

Good deal.and I think you guys are undervaluing Sbisa+Fowler's O game. Link to post Share on other sites
