For my actual pick I'll take Sam Gagner and hope he can put up another few 40 point seasons.

OK so making this pick in a bit of a hurry since Im on my way to work. Gimme Marko Dano. He puts up decent numbers when the dumb teams he gets traded to actually give him ice time, plus he can play either wing which helps me shuffle people around.

Making the cap floor is easy. You sign your child to an NHL deal and pay them max contact for one year.

I'll take Brian Dumoulin since he's signed for a while and is a solid defensive d with an ok exit pass.

I know you're exaggerating but I don't think the PA or the league would let that sort of thing go through because it would gently caress with escrow or something wouldn't it?

I'm pretty sure it's legal. Don't need rules to stop completely ridiculous moves.

That said there have been a handful of owner kids as borderline NHLers before I think, so it's not totally impossible.

Honestly though making the cap floor and hitting my gimmick isn't impossible. Pronger is still on the books isn't he? I'll just take guys who are done playing to fill out the last couple dollars.

Pronger isn't, but there are 8 guys I can think about that are just permanent LTIR players now.

Yeah, I've got far too many defencemen already. Give Zach Parise.

He's getting old and paid but should be good for 20/50 for a few more years.

He probably forces me to shift a centre up to wing as I don't really want him bogging Nylander down and Zach is too good to play on my 3rd line. So, my lineup looks something like this for the time being:

Benn - Nylander- Zbad
Parise - Brassard-
- - -

De Haan - Green
- Ghost

I have a fair amount of forwards already but as a Canucks fan I am obscenely biased and part of what influenced this pick is that Verviticus, another Canucks fan, has two picks between this one and my next pick.

Although having to select a goalie this early is physically painful, I have to compromise and pick James Reimer, who is more or less adequate.
