End of the draft.

Here is an activity, for the team you are going to cheer for, in my case probably the Founders' Franchise (Vancouver is a possibility), make your team lineup.

Sofar you have 30-31 players to use, here is what you need:

4 Forward Lines
3 Defense Pairings
2 Goaltenders

Hamel - Gamache - Dusablon
Darche - Stock - Bélanger

6 more rounds have been added, we are up to 28. Can anyone give me the list of players (8) that were protected prior to the draft? I will add them in, in red.

I'll be cherring for Québec and Dallas. This Québec Lineup looks fine to me, Gagné-Ribs-Richer will be a real threat to watch if they signs with the team.

Dallas Americans:
Pavel Rosa - Eric Lindros - Brett Hull
Scott Gomez - Kip Miller - Shane Willis
Craig Johnson - Steve Kelly - Blake Sloan
Casey Hankinson - Gavin Morgan - Matthew Herr

*Mike Green

Ron Hainsey - Chris Armstrong
Bryan Muir - Ross Lupaschuk
Andrew Hutchinson - Derrick Walser
*Matt Kinch, Nick Naumenko, Peter Vandermeer

Tim Thomas


Scott Barney should be on that 2nd line.

I am likely going to be cheering for the Founders' Franchise, as they may be in Vancouver. Assuming all players want to play and are allowed to play, here is the lineup, in my opinion.

Founders Franchise

Scottie Upshall - Zach Parise - Todd Bertuzzi
Scott Pellerin - Shaun Van Allen - David Morisset
Randy Powe - Doug Gilmour - Mike Glumac
Mike Picard - Kirk Muller - Sean Pronger

Lyle Odelein - Tommy Albelin
Jiri Slegr - Chris Therien
Jamie Pushor - Jim Vandermeer

Corey Schwab
Fred Braithwaite

Kevin Miller, C
Jarrod Skalde, C
DJ Smith, D
Mike Wilfon, D
Mathieu Chouinard, G
Ray Schultz, D
Steve Gainey, LW
Kevin Dallman, D
Steve McLaren, D
Jeff Paul, D

I still doubt this whole thing will ever happen but i'll root for Florida.
This is the team i'd ice with the players Florida drafted.

Sean Avery - Brad Richards - Martin St. Louis
Jason Williams - Jason Wiemer - Niko Dimitrakos
Trent Whitfield - Brett McLean - Craig Adams
Andre Roy - Ben Clymer - Brad Tapper

Bob Boughner - Jamie Rivers
Rick Berry - Karel Pilar
Brandon Smith - Rob Davison

Jean-Sebastien Aubin
Steve Shields

Zac Bierk G
Darren Rumble D
Matt Walker D
Paul Elliot D
Riku Hahl C
Mikhail Kuleshov LW
Gord Dwyer LW
Bill Lindsay LW
Tyler Bouck RW
Steven Webb RW
Bill Muckalt RW

Not a bad team, solid top 2 lines.
And hey St. Louis did actually say he'd consider playing in the WHA if there's a lockout.

Poor teams though, if there is a season they will be lucky to get 25% of the players.

Though I understand some of the Halifax franchaise's standpoint, focusing mainly on drafting player likely to play and that have connection to the East Coast of Canada, I still think they missed out on something else:
Former Moosehead players like Brandon Reid and Ramzi Abid would definitely be a draw.

19bruins19, I agree, a whole ton of these players will not even consider playing, but that is why the 16-17 year old draft is held tomorrow.

Hamilton Franchise Roster

here we go, the Hamilton Roster in the WHA


Mike Ryder - Cliff Ronning - Paul Kariya
Trent Hunter - Sergei Zholtok - Jan Hlavac
Anson Carter - Rob Zamuner - Theoren Fleury
Mike Keane - Tom Fitzgerald - Pascal Rheaume

extras: Travis Brigley, Rob Ray, Jim Dowd, Dave Lowry, Michal Grosek, Don McLean, Farrell, Jim Cummins



Defensemen:

Scott Ferguson - Andreas Lilja
Brad Norton - Nolan Baumgartner
Bryan Marchment - Bobby Allen

extras: John Gruden, Mark Bergevin

Goaltenders:

Felix Potvin
Dan Blackburn
Byron Dafoe


Analysis:

Forwards are old, but still have some speed, defense is lousy, especially when you consider Andreas Lilja is the #1 defenseman on the team. Goaltending could surprise a lot of people, especially of Blackburn signs and plays well.

BUT if the WHA is going to play this is the type of team that will be playing. No Thornton's or Kovalchuks.
