Since the First Goal of The Game threads was popular and many participated, how about naming your 2 biggest surprises of this off season. Can do this in many ways, so not saying this is the best by any means. How about making this particular thread "the next 3 weeks, these are 2 things I see happening". These 2 predictions you make, must happen by July 7. This gives you 1 week into free agency. (not that the Kings may sign any free agents)
Your 2 picks can be anything and not earth shattering. It can be 'Bernier dealt for a #1 pick'. You can name the team he goes to, or not. I do not know of a way to create a valid point system. Maybe on July 7, we can then vote who had the most incredible / accurate predictions. That may then include that someone called an exact trade; team and return.
You can even make 1 prediction, instead of 2, but you can take 2 stabs at this and not be penalized if you call 1 thing and the other does not happen. Make it as risky as you want; "Richards bought out". wtf? If you just call Bernier being dealt, and not name a team
or return, you will probably be right! So, probably be specific about that one. Pick at least a team, or a return "blue chip prospect" would be vague, but still possibly worth something if the Kings get a blue chip prospect and not a #1 pick, for instance. (Since that would be a good call and it may be near impossible to name the actual player)
I welcome feedback to create any other rules or point system. This is not about me...just think this would be fun. I will wait to make my picks, until there is feedback here. We can even come up with something collectively and delete this thread and begin a new thread.
Anyone want to do this?
