TSN Expansion Draft Simulator


Recommended Posts

Fun tool from TSN about GMing an expansion team (they assume who will be exposed).  I am not sure putting it here or in Armchair GM would be most correct.

Would be interesting to see how people pick and the expert opinions.

 

I picked my team based around max defencemen, with the aim of trading most of them to teams who will be short a top 4.  Thereby picking up some better forwards and some high picks for the future.  Link to my selections below.

First thing I noticed, there's a "Jaycob Megna" with Anaheim (yes, it is Jayson's brother). I had no idea there was more than one. Maybe George will take both Megna's and try to start his own Sedin line. Megnary? Doesn't have the same ring to it.

Offense looks to be weak with a strong defensive core

Some interesting picks. Your team is not valid, you have to pick one player from each team. It's hard to make it all work, 20 under contract, minimum 14 forwards, 9 defence and 3 Goalies, and stay under the cap.

That is strange, it must be buggy as it showed all my picks when so did it.  The tool kept failing but I figured it may have just been too much traffic.

 

Will have to try it again.

 

it is hard and really showed that they are going to have to pick unsigned RFAs or a few UFAs to keep things under the cap.

Just fooling around with it... though it was a "valid team" apparently. 

 

Vegas could walk with pretty good D at least.  I had a bunch of others as well (two monsters in Oleksiak and Sustr... then Schenn, Reinhardt and Dahlbeck)

 

Vanek - Stepan - Oshie

Perron - Perreault - Ryan

Grigorenko - Hanzal - Rodin

King - Kruger - SmithPelley

it diddnt say the total.  97% of the cap I think.

 

I diddnt equate for Shipy's salary though.  easy fix.  luv that bottom 6.

This team is going to be a playoff team right away. No elite forwards or defencemen but more depth than any team in the league. When you've got 2nd and 3rd liners playing on 1st and 4th lines, and 2nd pairing defencemen playing on 1st and 3rd pairings, you can really roll all 4 lines. I've got a feeling McPhee will try to make some trades to get some elite talent, and he'll be able to with the depth he'll acquire through the expansion draft.

I've done it a bunch of times and it's pretty fun! I'm not doing it critically, just picking players and seeing what that leaves me with. I'm not going for the best team, just A team.I could do this all day and may add more just for fun.
