Expansion Draft Discussion and Speculation

[timwebb1212]

and i duno if tim really seriously considered armia.. but armia is a very good piece too tbh and he was given some shtoi this year

No, yeah, I actually did. He's for sure got a good future

[Matthew]

Hallelujah!

[timwebb1212]

OK we're all done here. Feel free to continue to disect/scrutinize/second-guess my decisions.

[Matthew]

Prob better than I could have done. Good job, tim.

[Loki]

Went a different way than most of us expected but only time will tell how the decisions panned out. Looking forward to seeing how your team evolves from here Tim

yep thanks

Solid team...figured you would put together a strong defense. Certainly can't keep all those guys. Curious to see your post draft moves.

Just from stockpiling picks...you're going to have a great chance to stock your prospect pool quickly.

[timwebb1212]

No rush, but the following teams have not sent me their expansion player on FT:

NYR (Schenn)
MTL (Orlov)
FLA (Soderberg)
CHI (Lewis)

After re-looking at this team, I think once tim contracts the 10 extra skaters and picks he has into better pieces he will finish 2nd in the Pacific behind only LA. He is SO dominant in a few categories, and is well rounded in other categories thru out the lineup to win in those against most teams, and steal w's from other top teams too on occasion.

Thanks, I hope so

Despite Tim's likely dominance in peripheral categories, LA, CGY, Van, and even Edm should destroy him in scoring categories. All have superior goaltending options too.

Vcr has a lot of offensive holes in his lineup while tim has 30p throughout his. Then when you take into consideration tim has 10 NHL roster pieces he can condense into more offense + top picks he is planning to trade fir offense, I think he will not be far off cgy offense either.

I don't share your optimism. I don't think he has the pieces needed to acquire a high end scorer let alone 2 or 3.

[Robin Hood]

Meh, Trevor Lewis lost...No biggie.

[Handsome&FairMike]

Very much share these feelings. Also the age of the "30-pointers", but hey, Tim seems keen, maybe he can prove us wrong.

[Loki]

Yeah my worry about Tim's team is that he didn't pick some of the pieces which would have been easier for him to move after the draft. May not find too much trade value for older periphs guys. That said he still has a better roster than me so I'm sure he'll make it work
