ZERO PLAYER 1 - ON OFFICEPOOLS MY PLAYER DIDNT SHOW UP ON RECORD....MUST HAVE BEEN A PRETTY BAD PLAYER LOL
ZERO PLAYER 2

now this is my team at the end of 15/16 and I believe if I have a strong draft coming up here pretty soon that I will be a very good contender to win the championship. There are still many good FA's and prospects I'm hoping to snatch. I finished 7/15 but if I had a defenceman that got me 30 pts or so I would have came 5th.

WE DO A MANDATORY DROP 5 BEFORE EVERY SEASON AND HAVE ALL FREE AGENTS + 2016 DRAFTEES AVAILABLE TO BE PICKED

Sidney Crosby
Nathan MacKinnon
Steven Stamkos
Jordan Eberle
Corey Perry
Jakub Voracek
Alexander Radulov
TJ Oshie
Andrew Ladd
Jason Spezza
Nick Foligno
Ryan Strome
Tanner Pearson
Mikko Rantanen
Jimmy Vesey
Pavel Buchnevich
Ilya Kovalchuk - DROP
Brandon Pirri - DROP

DEFENCE
John Carlson
Kevin Shattenkirk
Anthony Deangelo - DROP
Jared Spurgeon - DROP
Brandon Montour - DROP

GOALIE
Braden Holtby

I know I have a couple holes I have to fill before I win a championship is get some help on defence since we count 4 defence towards our points. I have the 9th overall selection and there are some good guys left like (all 2016 draftees, aho, k connor, boeser, ect ect). But at the draft I'm going to look to move a good forward for a defenceman. See what happens.

Which version would you like us to compare it too?

taken on its own merits and not comparing what you had in either season previous you have some really nice pieces now

the 12/13 season to now lol. man i made some horrible HORRIBLE trades. I never been in these leagues before and thats why I ended up joining this site. I remember my infamous Alex Ovechkin, Dustin Brown, Marian Gaborik for Jonathan Huberdeau, Sean Couturier, Dougie Hamilton trade LOL. Then later that year I traded Carey Price for Mark Scheifele. Man how stupid. Won't be making stupid trades like that again as much as I do like trading lol

You have come a long way since those days to have the team you do now. Nice job in the long run and learning from your mistakes

[als_revenge]

I remember those earlier trades too. Wow, were they bad.

But you've come a long way. It actually looks like this team has a strategy. And you are not just blindly trading for youth, or trying to collect 10 goalies from one NHL franchise.

Keep up your focus and discipline, and with a little luck, maybe you'll be in the money some day.

Good job.

[StuntMan12]

Took me long enough. I could have made better drafting decisions even a year or two ago but these last 2 drafts (2015 pre season draft and 2015 mid season draft) were good to me and the McDavid trade helped me out quite a bit

I traded

Connor McDavid
Jonathan Drouin
Colin Miller

for

Evgeny Kuznetsov
Erik Karlsson
Jordan Eberle

Then I flipped Kuznetsov for Stamkos
Then I flipped Karlsson for Crosby

[StuntMan12]

who do i take if all these guys are available at #9 Overall


how would you rank them
Matt Murray
Clayton Keller
Joe Colborne
JG Pageau
Jakob Silferberg
Andrei Vasilevsky
Connor Brown
Andreas Athanasiou
Sebastian Aho
Kyle Connor
Oliver Bjorkstrand
