TheGoalNet Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 Love the expansion draft, such a cool process Disappointing the NHL wasn't able to keep the insiders silent for 24 hours Also, disappointed by their goalie selection 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think all in all it was a successful day and the franchise and the city presented really well. I do love Gary Bettman referring to the arena as Climate Change Arena. I spit my beer out laughing.

Jordan Eberle also in his on stage interview said something like "it's exciting try to bring the Cup to a city that has never had one before." Mr. Eberle, poor move my new friend. Poor move. Do some reading on the plane, my man. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chile57 Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 @seagoal I hope the signing of Grubs doesn't send you on a tailspin - how you feeling about it? Seems they should have been set with Driedger/Vanecek but I'm no NHL GM. Somebody's got to get moved at this point - right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I'm Driedger right now it probably stings but a 1a 1b split with those 2 could be fantastic, or, Driedger would be a killer back-up. I personally have no feelings about Vanecek, I've barely heard of him. Word is Washington wants him back. We shall see. We still need an AHL goalie so he might be the guy there. He is good, no doubt. I have truly never heard of our other goalie Daccord so whatever happens to him, I'm pretty meh. My hope today was Mrazek or Halak thinking Grubauer was staying in Colorado. This takes the cake, for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chile57 Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 In that case - all aces for both our teams... at least for now. Stevie Y fleeced the Canes for Ned and you got your dream 1A/1B combo. Cheers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MTH Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 The 1991 SJ Sharks Expansion Draft was by far, the best. 1. There were only 21 teams in the NHL then, so teams lost a few guys. 2. SJ was able to pilfer the North Stars because the SJ owners ripped off the fans of Cleveland and merged with the North Stars decades before. The NHL then allowed the SJ owner to take his half of the team with him. WTF? They took 24 players from the North Stars. 3. Teal. 4. Hall of Famers, Goons and veterans. Shane Churla was a top pick. Bryan Heyward. Link Gaetz, Tim Kerr, Craig Coxe, and Guy Lafleur. Lafleur was already in the Hall of Fame and had returned to play. 5. It wasn't just an expansion draft. No. It was an "Dispersal and Expansion Draft". Let that sink in. A Dispersal. A dumping of players. 6. After the Sharks picked the North Stars apart. The North Stars then drafted players to repair their team. What a crap show! 7. So. Many. Mullets. 8. While many players drafted never played for the Sharks, they still had the chance and took them. Only to make more deals for other players. 9. Artus Irbe. 10. The last point. The Sharks sucked! They won all of 17 games that season. Their MVP was Jeff Hackett. Journeyman goalie. Jeff Hackett earned the most playing time, going 11–27–1 with a 3.82 GAA and .892 save percentage in 42 games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the teal unis were EPIC, along with some HOF mulletude. I may get there, but they had the market cornered on GREAT mullets. Also, Reechi who looked like Geddy Lee with no teeth. That should catapult your team into HOF status. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
