Jason Allison wasn't so much mean as angry and bitter about how loving slowly he skated.

Demko is probably ahead of Juloevi for the time being. Still, those three are genuinely top tier prospects so there's nothing to be ashamed of. The rest of that depth though...

I have the cap space to take him and still be capable of making a big move at the deadline, so let's take Jonathan Bernier to be my backup instead.

JVR - Thornton - Radulov
Vesey - Bonino - Iginla
Baertschi - Barzal - Burrows
Martin - Gordon - Grabner
Shinkaruk

Karlsson - Vlasic
Gardiner - Franson
Tryamkin - Carrick
Corrado

Allen
Bernier
Montoya

Guy Boucher

I think it turned out alright. My biggest concern aside from all the question marks on offense is the sheer amount of players on my team becoming UFA at the end of this season.

yeah once we got very late in the draft I only had a few guys around the league who I really wanted and they always got scooped up right before my pick so I just went with guys who I knew the best out of laziness. I should've had one more Islander but I thought people forgot Matt Barzal existed and that he would get back around to me one round but he got taken in that window.

final squad looks like


Marchand - Tavares - Ehlers
Cammalleri - Brassard - Kucherov
MacArthur - Ribiero - Lee
Komarov - Cizikas - Condra

Streit - Tanev
Benn - Petry
Mayfield - Pulock

Halak
Berube

Coach Hitchcock

AHL/KHL: Sorokin, Bean, Bellows



should have some exciting games with this squad win or lose

Right now I'm bummed out about Demko being taken the pick before mine and I'm not 100% confident in picking Vesey as early as I did, but the person behind me wanted him so I guess it was now or never on him.

I didn't really have a plan going into the draft but when Karlsson was available at my first pick I thought, "Wouldn't it be fun to do a gimmick where the Oilers are the best defensive team in the league" and that kinda dictated my draft strategy from then on.

Who on my team is an albatross/possession black hole that I don't know about? Parise has a bad contract because of the length, but it's the only bad contract I can see, and it's not like Parise still won't be really good for several more seasons. Pirri isn't great but he had a down year and if he signs somewhere he'll come up with 15+ goals and help my powerplay. My fourth line is three guys with awesome fancies, including one of the best young shutdown forwards in the league. Cole/Postma aren't too good but they're serviceable considering they're 6th/7th D, especially Postma, who is fast and has had good fancies his entire career in limited playing time.

My issue with your team is not that they don't all play a good possession game, it's that, aside from Simmonds and I guess Parise, you've forgotten that hockey teams have to score goals too. You're going to have a lot of 2-1 games, and not a good power play.
