Coaches aren't as important as the roster, remember this.

Jack Capuano is, and not in a good way.

Oh no, now I can't fire a coin toss of a performance from my fake coach in leading my talent. (Wait I can, coaches are the least of a worry for a team)

If your team is bad, then an in season change barely would make much of a change. There are radical outliers, but on average the strength of roster dictates the season.

Jack Capuano is an outlier

Your face reminds me of a bleak future
Despite the absence of hope
I give you this sacrifice




For my final pick to get me over the salary floor, I guess I'll take Brooks Laich.




I REALLY HOPE YOU "LAICH" MY TEAM HAHAHAHAHA :suicide:

Kreider - Koivu - Nyquist
Pearson - McDavid - Burakovsky
Raffl - Järnkrok - Boyes
Bellemare - Laughton - Purcell
Mitchell, Laich

I'm gonna make my last pick, wait a bit for others to make their picks, and do the same thing as tbone. I'll give it a bit though, let us run through the previous iteration of teams first.

Also: for those interested in more hockey, there's a keeper league I'd like to start. Information is here: http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3716594&pagenumber=1&perpage=40 We'd need to get started fairly soon to be done before season start.

Some idiot took Wingels in like round 6.

I used to laugh at people rushing to make their pick and grabbing someone 2 or 3 rounds too early. Then I go and do the same thing only I manage to grab one like 6 rounds too early. :suicide:

Zetterberg - Backstrom - Hagelin
Johansson - Abdelkader - Franzen
Baertschi - Fisher - Nystrom
Glass - Matthias - Fast

Prospects: Tuch - Svechnikov

Ekman-Larsson - Kronwall
Hjalmarsson - Savard
Ouellet - Marchenko
Gudas

Lack
Howard

Coach: AV

HOLY poo poo WHAT A BAD TEAM!

I like my defense a lot, especially when Ouellet and Marchenko start to really mature. I like my tandem, I think it's a solid 1A/1B type thing. AV's an amazing coach. But my forwards are so loving abysmal. Made even worse by the fact that it actually does seem like Franzen should not ever play hockey again. I'm gonna have to play the rear end off that first line just to get anywhere and even if I do, it probably won't amount to much.

I didn't really do my due diligence on my forwards and it cost me. Oh well. Better luck next year.

I might try to do a quick n dirty sim with these teams in NHl16 at some point if I can figure out a faster way of doing custom rosters.

Also my team will be really bad.
