rwilson99 said:San Jose actually won the lotter in 98. TBL GM Phil Esposito threw in the option to switch picks with San Jose as part of a deal that sent Brian Marchment to the west coast.
In other words... Phil stole Vinny Lecavlier.

Heatley has returned to action and has performed quite well. He had 3G and 1A in one game this weekend.DeuceUNO said:and Heatley still trying to remove Daniel Briere's shot from his eye socket...
Add this year's point totals to last season's point total - or add the points from this 30-game season to next season's point total at the halfway point (January 1, 2006 perhaps) and hold two drafts in 2006 - - one for the class of 2005 and one for the class of 2006 . . . . that should help with the "tanking" issue.neelynugs said:interesting chat with john davidson last night on ESPN radio- he made mention of the rangers "tanking a 30 game season to get crosby" as being a reality the league really needs to address...the problems of getting work visas, and that bettman and goodenow likely need 3 days in a room to get anything accomplished. hopefully that begins today and ends with a deal on saturday

crossxcheck said:you talk about some intense competition...30 teams duking it out for crosby. wow.
although in reality awarding #1 overall to the team that wins most likely creates an even larger talent gap.
