The Not So Fantasy Draft

[donghabs98]

Fantasy drafts usually mean pick the best player available but the point of this draft is to pick the most overpaid useless players there is in the NHL.

The Objective

-Make a team of the most overpaid/useless players in the NHL

There are two awards you can win

The Slap Shot Trophy which goes to the toughest team aka the team made out of Goons

The Scott Gomez Trophy which goes to the team made out of overpaid players.

I'm still trying to come up with new rules and such but is there any interest in this idea?

David Clarkson.

 

[Top 6 Spaling]

IMO it should be called "The Toronto Maple Leafs game" but other that than I like it

 

[LarKing]

This is dumb whoever drafts Clarkson wins

 

[donghabs98]

This is dumb whoever drafts Clarkson wins

That is the point!

If anyone has any suggestions on how to improve this idea feel free to suggest.

Kyle Quincey.

 

[LarKing]

Kyle Quincey is a far better dman than Brooks Orpik. As mediocre as he is, he's not nearly as bad as most wings fans would have you believe.

 

[How Ya Drouin]

I actually endorse this idea and pick Inglis.

 

[hi]

I'm in

 

[Addison Rae]

Nazem Kadri



I win

 

[LT]

I'm down.

 

[How Ya Drouin]

I'm down.

I'm taking Jamie Benn, don't worry.

Deryk England

How about having a cap floor and giving an award to the team that is least likely to make the playoffs?

The Worst GM Trophy.

Imagine assembling a $60 million squad of 20 players that will NOT make the playoffs.

THIS I would be in for!!!!

 

[JayP812]

Glen Sather would be awesome at this game.

 

[The Produce Man]

The Gabby Cup for the worst rebuilder squad? The team that yields the most disappointment wins.

Stay away from my Gilbert Brule!

 

[LarKing]

Just take Kane and Toews then like one other player and you're at 60M. Then you're DQ'd for not having a full roster. Easy.

Did someone say John Scott?

 

[Boreal01]

I'd be down for something like this.

 

[VanIslander]

DEFUNCT NHL (Hartford, Quebec, Atlanta, Oakland, Cleveland) and non-cup (Florida, Nashville, Columbus, San Jose, St. Louis, Washington) or cup drought (Toronto) team names encouraged!

 

[Nuge93]

Jonathan Cheechoo?

I think this is a great idea. Build the worst possible team with a minimum cap requirement.

I think this is a great idea. Build the worst possible team with a minimum cap requirement.

Yes, you MUST spend a certain amount on salaries (NHL cap floor is now about $52 million I believe - bump it up to $60 to make it more interesting!).

Can you draft a nonplayoff team and spend at least x million at the cap floor?

That is exactly what tanking clubs are trying to do to win the McDavid/Ekblad sweepstakes (The team with the worst record in the NHL will get at least the 2nd overall pick).

Let's do it.

The Tank Draft

 

[CoachBadkitten]

This does sound pretty cool actually.
