Another off season and more managers to replace. We have 3 teams that need new managers this season. I think we will pool the players from the 3 teams and let the new GM's do a mini draft to create their starting rosters. The league wide draft will be later in the summer for all FA's.
Some of the top players available for the 'mini draft' (with contract length after their name):
Nicolas Backstrom (WSH) 1
Corey Crawford 2
Henrik Sedin 1
Gabe Landeskog 4
Sidney Crosby 1
Alex Pietrangelo 2
Brad Marchand 4
Antti Niemi 3
Some of the top players for the league wide FA draft:
Corey Perry
Erik Karlsson
Marc-Andre Fleury
Anze Kopitar
Patrick Marleau
Jeff Carter
Bobby Ryan
Daniel Sedin
Tyler Seguin
Michael Del Zotto
Evgeni Malkin
Drew Doughty
Rick Nash
Jonathan Toews
Mike Green
You can see that since this is the 4th year in the league the longer contracts are starting to expire and the stars are becoming FA's. Next year will be the end of the 5 year contracts (the longest we could give out in year 1) and will see even bigger stars available.
