Habs World Order (NHL11 BAGM)
 

I'm going to use the Montreal Canadiens of a fantasy draft with a twist.
Difficulty: Superstar
Period Length: 10 minutes
Custom Sliders

Gary Bettman: I've spoken to all of the representatives here, at the World Hockey Summit, and we all feel that the sport needs to grow globally, not just here in North America. That is hard to do when all of a country's best players are playing overseas. IIHF President Rene Fasel and I are going to start working together to create the IIHF Superleague. It will contain 15 former NHL teams and 15 teams from across Europe. All of the teams participating will follow. Thank you.

Sounds like an interesting idea. Going to be weird to play some games in NHL rinks and others in International rinks.

Re: Habs World Order (NHL11 BAGM)
 

This should be interesting for sure. If you're asking for help to run it, I'm not sure lol.

But what I would do in a fantasy draft is I pick a theme, so I either pick all Russians, all Americans, all Power Forwards and Defensive D-men, whatever.

May be off topic but yeah lol that's my input.

Re: Habs World Order (NHL11 BAGM)
 

I really just tried to go for all the young players I could. I've got 5 rookies in my starting lineups.

Re: Habs World Order (NHL11 BAGM)
 

That's always good. One time I picked Skinner, Seguin, Hall, etc.

By year 3 you have 90 overall players playing for 1 mil :)

Re: Habs World Order (NHL11 BAGM)
 

I'm sad to see no Senators in this league....but otherwise an interesting concept. Should be fun to watch everything play out.

Re: Habs World Order (NHL11 BAGM)
 

Sorry, I wanted to get all of the older teams I could and since the Sens are from the 90s I thought they'd be the Canadien team to drop. I dropped my own favorite teams, New Jersey and Nashville, in the sake of reality.

"In order to ensure an even playing field, all of the owners and the players association have agreed to void all contracts from the member European teams, the 15 current, the 15 folded NHL teams, and the minor league and junior rights to player. To build rosters we will have a draft of all of the voided contracts, the order of which will be decided by the means of a lottery to be held next week. Thank You."- Gary Bettman
