I like your team, but man you're asking a lot from Reinhart or Bennett if you think they can be a 2nd line centre in the NHL at 18 years old. Your team is the definition of built for the future though, that prospect depth would the best in the last 10+ years.

Yeah it's sketchy as hell no doubt. Hopefully the wingers would augment the young centers and score a bunch and Rinne/Elliott would tear it up and let them contend for a playoff spot. But if not another high pick is cool and the future looks pretty sweet. Even the guys who already good (Benn/Landeskog/EKane/Ryan/Couturier) still have a bunch of great years left. Main problem would be resigning Bobby Ryan but he's from Jersey so ~hopefully~

I'm basically out of ideas. Jon Gillies for me and Mark Visentin for VJeff. Both goalie prospects, Gillies is doing well in college and Visentin putting some mediocre numbers but in front of a terribad AHL team, so he might break out. Or something.

Since NHL 15 doesn't have the good multiplayer this year I didn't buy it. That's two years in a row. It must be good for something - if it can sim something like this one of you should get on it so I can start celebrating my virtual Stanley Cup victory.

McDonagh - Robidas
Wiercioch - Pokka/Pulock
Allen

Lehner
Hutchinson

AHL/Junior

NRitchie - Wennberg - Mantha
Pokka/Pulock - Severson

Binnington
Gillies

That was the poo poo I put together. I am relying on Kadri and Kuznetsov to tear it up. Good luck to me.

Dillon signed, Robidas should play in the season opener, Pokka got traded to the Hawks and is going to the minors while Pulock will too because the Isles got Leddy and Boychuk. The Sens are dumb and scratching Wiercioch; Allen is 50-50 to play since the Ducks signed Stoner for no reason. Lehner will probably get 30-40 games as Anderson will start the season opener. Kontiola got cut from the fuckin' Leafs and is probably loving off to the KHL soon enough. Hutchinson had a bad camp but is still the Jets' best goaltender in all likelihood.

In positive news, Severson actually made the Devils' opening night roster and Wennberg could start with the Jackets too. Not bad.
