Jesus when I was expansion GM the two best players I got in expansion draft was Hamza Ahmed and Michael Westen. They combined for 576 games, 126 points and a - 34. 

Being an expansion GM isn't supposed to be easy. The league isn't supposed to hold your hand. If you throw your name into the ring to become an expansion GM you are doing it because you want the challenge.

AND I never drafted higher than 4th Overall in regular draft.  Tough shit rookie GMs. Deal with it.

The league has changed so much since the previous expansions, teams are so much better and deeper now than they were back then so those situations aren't comparable. Nowadays you can have like twice as many TPE than the last placed teams in Season 5 or Season 10 and still are by far the worst team in the SHL. Hell look at the two teams with the fewest points right now, New England and West Kendall, they still have four or five 1000+ TPE players each! Back around the last expansion this would've made you the best team in the league, but in today's SHL you finish last with a roster like that. We could give expansion teams rosters full of 500-600 TPE-players (which I think most people would find too much) and they would still be absolutely horrible.
