i have a few questions:

1.Does the cap go up every year just like the NHL?

2.When making our extra picks do we only get to pick players under 1.5 million?

3.Do our "extrra players" count against the normal cap?

i'm back for the night from hockey. 2 goals tonight and a 5-1 win!


thanks for making my pick Angelo! I'm extremley happy to have Jussi Jokinen instead of Ryan Callahan on my 4th line. Mark my words Jussi is going to have a huge year, because Barry Melrose put him at Center and whenever Stamkos gets pressured he will be put into that 2nd line spot. Also he kills in the shootout!

theres so many good players available.. i think we should draft until we have 30 players and atleast one more round of the entry draft

i think we are doing 2 more rounds of entry draft which is fair...and i agree we should do a 30 player team, that way we can replace the expensive guys next year

 

[agent2421]

eek I think we shouldn't draft too many players. We have to get everything done by October 3rd and by that I mean post it all on pickuphockey.

We should only do what's necessary and if we want players later we can get them,

 

[Angelo25]

ok what about.. stop the drafting but your allowed to fill in your roster until you reach 30 player roster

we could always just do another draft next season or during with the left overs or something

not with boston... maybe in his rookie season but he's always been a centre.. im sure of this because boston plays a system where they rely on their centre to pressure the point man and the centre position is the rover.. and they need someone like savard or bergeron or even in a lesser extent krejci to play rover since all three are quick and instinctive players... savard imo is still a defensive liability but it seems to work for them

 

[odishabs]

in 2 hockey news magazines they have bergeron playing with zhamnov and some guy named valicevic?

valecevic-zhamnov-bergeron

im not sure if it was bc of injury or w/e the problem was but yea i think it was his rook year.

i dont think Malkin plays LW or Pavelski plays RW lol

 

[Angelo25]

i dont think Malkin plays LW or Pavelski plays RW lol

are you sure about that?

Malkin plays LW with Sid in the beginning of the season last year before sid was injured and occasionally plays LW in the pp and Pavelski played RW when he was playing with Marleau last year and Thornton when cheechoo was injured.

not there original positions but im just messin around, im not sure about Filpulla as a LW also but oh well lol

 

[Hale The Villain]

Just a quick question that has probably been asked 5,000,000 times but how many spares are we drafting? Five?

 

[Hale The Villain]

Another question: If I draft another defenseman, could I switch him in for Erik Johnson since he is injured? But he has a 3.7M cap hit, but would an injured player count as a spare?
