But seen the only team left to cheer for me is Pittsburgh and I'm not a huge fan of them. Just thought with this game might cheer some up but let's say you can go back to any draft (but only 1) from 01-11 and rework the draft so Vancouver picks better which draft would try to fix so our team right now would be the best.
Some small rules (just to make it more interesting):
For the first 3 Rounds - You can only pick a player picked within 10 picks of our draft pick
From the 4th Round and on within 30 picks.
Also try and fit in with Capgeek just for fun but again some Rules
We will preclude our draft picks that were traded just to make it more fun especially seen someone will do the 07 Draft and we could still acquire Ehroff for other prospects than the great Patrick White.
For your Roster make it a 22/23 Man roster (as we would for any roster for next season)
We should allow some trades to our roster as we are already looking (ie. Luongo, Edler, etc.)
So I will begin:
2008 Draft
10th - Erik Karlsson
41st - Justin Schultz
131st - Matt Martin
161st - Teemu Hartikainen
191st - Anders Lindback
And for my roster:
Trades -
Luongo and our 1st for DiPietro (compliance buyout) and Niederreiter.
Bieksa for Helm.
2 UFA signings (Smithson at 1 million) and Regin at 800 thousand.
