I value college stats a lot when picking prospects (see: Keller and Boeser picks) and I definitely wanted Connor badly.

Yeah Boeser and Keller were high on my list. I think all three will be studs. Keller was the US's best player after Gaudreau at the WC.

If I could poo poo on my team for a moment I think the problem is it has a lot of guys right at 29-31 who should still be good but are about to start sliding/arguably have started sliding (Letang, Schneider, Hjalmarsson, Stralman, Sobotka, Radulov), then ~JAGR~, one hopefully fixable Strome, and then three Sophomores who I think will be impact NHL players (Connor, Honka, Meier -- well Connor and Honka for sure, hopefully Meier based on his junior numbers and small sample size massive shot generation last year). It really only has two guys who are right in their primes (Seguin, Forsberg). I don't think those older guys will fall off a cliff, but certainly as they lose a step the Connors and Honkas would have to pick up the slack.

In NHL terms they would have to forfeit cash (revenue sharing for instance), draft picks, and eventually games:

quote:

(i) Impose a fine of up to $5 million in the case of a Circumvention by a Club or Club Actor, but in no circumstances shall such fine be less than $1 million against any Club or Club Actor if such party is found to have violated Article 50 of this Agreement. If such a fine is assessed against a Club (except in the case of a financial reporting violation), that Club's Payroll Room shall also be reduced by such amount for the following League Year, and if such reduction of the Club's Payroll Room renders the Club out of compliance with the Payroll Range (i.e., the Club does not have sufficient Payroll Room to accommodate its Player commitments comprising Club Salary) for such following League Year, then the Club must take such steps as are necessary (e.g., Assignment, Buy-Out, Waivers, etc.) and as are permitted by this Agreement to ensure that the Club will be in compliance with Article 50 of this Agreement upon
commencement of the following League Year;

(ii) Impose a fine against a Player of up to the lesser of $1 million or twentyfive (25%) percent of a Player's Paragraph 1 Salary in the case of a Circumvention by a Player or Player Actor, but in no circumstances shall such fine be below the lesser of $250,000 or twenty-five (25%) percent of the Player's Paragraph 1 Salary. Notwithstanding the $1 million limitation set forth above, any additional amounts by which the Player has been unjustly enriched due to the Circumvention shall be ordered to be disgorged;

(iii) Direct a Club to forfeit draft picks (the number, placement, and League Year of which shall be determined in the Commissioner's sole discretion);

(iv) Declare a forfeiture of any NHL Game(s) determined to have been affected by a Circumvention;

(v) Direct a Club to disclose and report to the Independent Accountants all information required by this Agreement, including, without limitation, by the provisions of Article 50;

(vi) Void any SPC, or any extension of an SPC, between any Player and any Club when both the Player or Player Actor and the Club or Club Actor are found to have committed such a violation with respect to such SPC or extension; and

(vii) Suspend any Club employee, Player, or Certified Agent involved in such a violation for a period of time determined in the sole discretion of the Commissioner, the System Arbitrator, or the NHLPA, respectively.

There are enough bad contracts out there for him to hit the floor though.

Everything that could have gone wrong for him last season did. My first line is worth 22m+ by itself which has lead me to be a little cheap on my other players. Since SOMEBODY keeps taking all the ELCs I've been left to gamble on old guys hoping they can have bounce-back seasons.

Yes, they're both available.

Anyways, since there's been a run on coaches I'll give the Kings one. This is actually a weird one to try and figure out, but I'll give them Ken Hitchcock since he has the best Pt% in his career amongst the remaining hired coaches that have actually coached over 100 games.
