Philadelphia Flyers Be a GM (Fantasy Draft)
#1

I will be doing a fantasy draft version and a non-fantasy draft version of the Philadelphia Flyers. During the fantasy draft, after three randomizations, my first pick is 11th overall. Salary cap is on, but CPU fixed my team after we ended up above the cap.

Here is my lineup:

T. Hall (84) - J. Tavares (85) - M. St. Louis (87)
J. Voracek (82) - M. Lombardi (82) - C. Kunitz (83)
T. Selanne (82) - V. Prospal (80) - P. Sullivan (79)
D. King (68) - M. Handricks (73) - P. Kaleta (72)

K. Timonen (84) - S. Gonchar (83)
L. Visnovsky (82) - S. Salo (82)
J. Gardiner (81) - M. Zidlicky (80)

N. Backstrom (87)
N. Khabibulin (77)

Top Potential:
T. Hall ****1/2
J. Tavares ****1/2
J. Voracek ****1/2
Prospects
J. Huberdeau ****1/2 69
S. Baertschi ****1/2 68
B. Gormley ****1/2 67
M. Granlund ****1/2 67
E. Etem ****1/2 66
N. Yakupov ****1/2 62
A. Galchenyuk ****1/2 60
R. Murray ****1/2 60
R. Faksa ****1/2 57
G. Reinhart ****1/2 57
M. Gernat **** 56
M. Rielly ****1/2 55
Goalies:
M. Subban ****1/2 56
J. Campbell ****1/2 65

My whole fourth line was free agents, but everyone else was drafted. I have so many top-tier prospects knowing that I'm going to have to trade some away for picks and lower-tier prospects. Good to have the cupboard full though in case some don't pan out.

:lol: Most of those 'spects won't pan out.

I love doing fantasy drafts, but the one thing I don't like is you have to have the salary cap off. Because of this, free agency and extending contracts isn't a challenge. Just give anybody whatever they want.

I have the salary cap on though. Should be fun until these guys hit UFA

Just got done with my first season. I don't feel the need to do month by month updates, especially in the first few years because I won't be trading much to at all.

2012-2013:

Overall Record: 53-21-8

Top Performers:
K. Timonen: 5G/36A/41P
M. Hendricks: 11G/9A/20P
N. Backstrom: 24W/9L/1OTL, 1.57 GAA, .942 SV%
N. Khabibulin: 29W/12L/3OTL, 2.05 GAA, .928 SV%

Biggest Letdowns:
J. Tavares: 29G/29A/58P
J. Voracek: 17G/13A/30P

Retirees:
S. Gonchar
V. Prospal
S. Sullivan
M. Zidlicky

Gonchar and Sullivan are surprises out of this. I expected to have both of them for another year or two, but oh well. The other two are easily replaceable.

2013 Offseason:

Trades:
PHI trades M. St. Louis and S. Salo to CHI for 2nd overall pick

Draft:
2nd Overall: Nathan Mackinnon ****1/2
25th Overall: Juuso Ikonen ***1/2
55th Overall: Arturi Lehkonen ***1/2
75th Overall: Ty Bilcke ***1/2
Auto-draft from there

Resignings:
K. Timonen: 1 year/4.5M
L. Visnovsky: 1 year/3.7M
T. Selanne: 1 year/2M
N. Backstrom: 3 year/6.5M
N. Khabibulin: 1 year/1.2M

Will update later with Prospect Ratings and Free Agent Signings

Minnesota is offering me P. Berglund, 25 year old first line C with **** (yellow) for L. Visnovsky and Khabibulin. I don't have the immediate defensive or goaltender depth to make the move, but it saves cap and I get younger. Do I do it?

Do it, too many upsides for you. Plus, you got almost every good defensive prospect, so go fur it

Go for it, and liek BK said, let your young guys develop. Berglund is sick.

Take that cap room and then use it to get better, Visnovsky and Khabi aren't that great.

On Calgary I barely made the minimum cap the first couple years, but in FA when I felt I could contend I signed Toews for 5 seasons at 11.5 per. Then two years later I signed Subban for 6 mil or so. Then traded for Keith at 9 million :lol: Then traded for Kovalchuk and his 9 mil this season (gave up Backlund and his 6 of course) and I'm like .3 under the cap :lol:

Thing is that my first line is full. He'd be playing second line and I'd lose a PP defenseman and my backup tendy, who performed really well last year
