Ok, we have 4 days to wait to find out what is going on with Price, etc. I thought we could have a little fun while waiting and play a game.
Cap Friendly has updated their Expansion Draft Sim to include protected players of all teams.

Draft your team and post it here.
Some rules:
While Francis has said owners have given him the authority to be a max cap team, he wants to prioritize cap space. No doubt he wants to do what Yzerman has been doing in Detroit and get teams pay to take on contracts. I think he'll save about $10m in cap space, but for now we'll keep it at $8m.
1. Max Cap of $73m.
2. You get 1 point for every selection you get right. For instance, Tampa Bay has Foote, Gourde, Palat and Killorn available. If you get that selection right, you get a point.
3. You get 2 points for every pick & flip you get right. For instance, DeMelo was left unprotected by Jets. I feel like he's an obvious pick & flip.
4. You get 3 points for every contract signing you get right within $250k. For instance, Driedger seems to be an obvious one. If you guess he gets a contract of $4m x 4 years and he signs for $3.75m x 3 years you get 3 points.
5. Max final roster of 24 players, including 3 goalies (you can have less, but must have 3 goalies). Minimum is 21 (12 F, 6D, 3G). You will draft 30, but they can't all be on the roster.
Player with most points gets to horde it over the rest of us.
Should look something like this:
Team:
G:
D:
C:
W:
Pick & Flips:
Signings:
AHL (if any)
It's also a good place just to discuss roster selection in general. You don't have to draft to join.
