We only get Adrian Aucoin in free agency.
our roster looks like this:
Goalies: Robert Esche 27 years old and he currently says the board would be wrong to dismiss me(i was unaware my job was in trouble although they didn't like some of my moves). He is our #1 guy. I think he is underated as he is never in the top 10 goalies but i think he is better than a couple of the guys named.
Roman Malek 27 years old could start for some teams but will be a backup here
Antero Nittymaki 25 years old and is at least a #2 alot of teams want him i would like to keep him and trade Malek.
Chris Houle 22 years old looks pretty decent although he is a career backup currently has a 10 glove rating (his lowest) and that would worry me.
Defense:
Joni Pitkanen 21 years old and our #1 defenseman. The kid is a stud.
Derek Morris 26 years old will be on the right side on the first pairing he is very good.
Evgeny Korolev 26 years old and looks solid all around.
Eric Brewer 26 years old will be with Korolev on the 2nd pairing he is solid up and down.
Dennis Seidenberg 23 years old could be on the 2nd pairing but his stamina is only 13 and i don't want him too tired out there.
Adrian Aucoin 32 years old will be out there with Seidenberg he is very good and would not be a 5th/6th defenseman on many teams.
we have a bunch of players who can fill in Deron Quint 29 years old and Simon Brown 28 years old can play both sides and will be on the main roster
Down at the Phantoms we have a couple veterans in Andy Delmore 28 years old and Jean-luc Grand-Pierre 28 years old, and a couple young guys Freddy Meyer 24 years old and Randy Jones 23 years old. All 4 of these guys could give us minutes on the big club and we would be ok. We also have Sasha Goc who is 26 and could be a player for us at some point during the season.
I did draft 5 guys who my scouts thought could be at least core players for us some of them look pretty good so our future looks pretty solid. I also have 2 other prospects that if i signed would probally never leave the Phantoms.
Left wingers
Simon Gagne 25 years old and our best player. He is one of the top rated left wingers and a key player for us. Will lead the team in points if he stays healthy.
Daniell Pallie 21 years old and looks very good. My scout recommanded him and i gave up a bit for him but now i am very happy to have him he looks solid scoring and defending i am expecting a big season from him.
Erik Cole 26 years old and the perfect checking line left wing. I love him as a player. He is no slouch scoring either. Highly recommend trying to get him in every game (i do).
Josh Green 27 years old. He is an average player but i don't expect much of him from the 4th line. If i can find a penalty killing specialist he could end up in the Phantoms lineup.
Boyd Kane 27 year old left wing who looks almost exactly like Green played in 2 games last season and got a goal.
Riley Cote 23 years old. He will probally spend his career with the Phantoms but isn't any worse than Green or Kane.
Tristan Grant 21 years old former 9th round pick he doesn't look ready to play and not sure he ever will be ready.
I drafted 2 left wingers that could be core players in the future no real need to rush them at this point.
Centers:
Free agent signing Jason Allison 30 years old will be our #1 guy for now may trade him at some point.
Jeff Carter 20 year old first round pick from 2 years ago expecting huge things from this guy and projects to be our #1 center of the future.
Derek Roy 22 years old that my scout loved. He looks better than he did last season and really came on and averaged over a point a game for us when he played earned himself a spot as our checking line center.
Mike Richards 20 years old first round pick from 2 years ago looks to be ready to contribute will be on the fourth line.
Patrick Sharp 23 years old and finds himself without a place in the lineup. I really like this kid and he played well for us. If i an move Allison i will in a second to get this kid back on the 3rd or 4th line.
Down at the Phantoms we have Milan Kopecky 24 years old and could step up for us but is stuck in a numbers game right now.
Josh Holden 27 years old could step in as a 4th line center if needed but currently is 7th on the depth chart.
Ben Stafford 26 years old has could very well contribute to the cause but i doubt will even get a chance being the 8th guy.
I did draft 4 centers in this past seasons draft Cody Bass is one of them and currently our top rated prospect.
Right Wingers:
Sami Kapanen is a personal favorite player of mine his heart is 2nd to none. 31 years old i am decieding to keep him around for a while as he was one of our best players last season.
Mark Parrish 28 years old and is expect to put up at least 60 points this year again. Solid player all around.
Jean-Pierre Dumont 27 years old and good checking line player i am expecting an improvement on his 29 point total from last season may have a short leash this season as i am very dissapointed in him so far.
Branko Radivojevic 24 years old and looks very good could be taking Dumont place before long only gave us 17 points from the 4th line in 72 games last season but was a +7.
Eric Melochne 29 years old down on the Phantoms has a star next to his name (along with Nittimaki and Jean-luc Grand-Pierre) he is a an average at best guy i don't care for his skillset his good physical and mental skills don't hide he lack of technical ability for me.(he can't score and is a defensive liability)
we draft 4 right wingers including our first round pick Nicklas Bergfors. Devin Setoguchi who was one of my 2nd round picks is wanted by other teams already. The future looks pretty bright here.
I may be making some movement in the wavier draft but i am not sure though.
