The future of the NHL (EHM 2007)

On August 30th, 2007, due to the economic times and the NHL's failure at attracting fans to the southern markets, Gary Bettman came up with an idea to have a "fantasy draft" where each team would re-pick their teams with NHL players and prospects. He decided that to get media attention and so each team would get a chance to draft a superstar. Meaning that people would notice and want to watch hockey.

As well the Florida Panthers fired their GM and hired an unknown person named Ryan Williams. (I will be playing as them)

The first round of the Draft went like this:
1) Boston Bruins:Phil Kessel
2)Detroit Red Wings:Sidney Crosby
3)Chicago Blackhawks:Alex Ovechkin
4)Carolina Hurricanes:Eric Staal
5)Anaheim Ducks:Marc Staal
6)New York Islanders:Joe Thornton
7)LA Kings:Evgeni Malkin
8)Edmonton Oilers:Jaromir Jagr
9)Pittsburgh Penguins:Ilya Kovalchuk
10)Montreal Canadians:Bryan Little
11)San Jose Sharks:Peter Forsberg
12)Calgary Flames:Andrew Ladd

14)Buffalo Sabres:Todd Paul (Jonathan Toews)
15)Minnesota Wild:Wojtek Wolski
16)Ottawa Senators:Scott Niedermayer
17)St. Louis Blues:Marian Gaborik
18)Toronto Maple Leafs:Martin Brodeur
19)Dallas Stars:Rob Schremp
20)Colorado Avalanche:Miikka Kiprusoff
21)Vancouver Canucks:Jarome Iginla
22)Philadelphia Flyers:Nicklas Lidstrom
23)Atlanta Thrashers:Richard Adams (Erik Johnson)
24)Nashville Predators:Rick Nash
25)New York Rangers:Jason Spezza
26)Florida Panthers:Patrik Elias
27)New Jersey Devils:Patrice Bergeron
28)Phoenix Coyotes:Roberto Luongo
29)Tampa Bay Lightning:Vincent Lecavalier
30)Washington Capitals:Ben Maxwell

The rest of Florida's picks:
2)Cam Ward
3)Ben Shutron
4)Rob Blake
5)John Madden
6)Raymond Macias
7)Steve Sullivan
8)Marek Svatos
9)Constantin Braun
10)Brett Clark
11)Ryan Kesler
12)Brad Cotton
13)John Grahame
14)Francis Bouillon
15)Scott Jackson
16)Marco Sturm
17)Kirk Maltby
18)Joey Gaustad (Nigel Williams)
19)Andrei Kostitsyn
20)Matt Cooke
21)B.J. Crombeen
22)Jon Klemm
23)Jason Wiemer

26)Jeff Ryan (T.J. Miller)
27)Stephane Veilleux
28)Roman Derlyuk

Re: The future of the NHL (EHM 2007)

Goalies

1)Cam Ward
Team:Florida
Height:6'1 Weight:189lbs
Age:22
Hometown:Sherwood Park, AB, CAN

Cam is a very dominant young goaltender he led Carolina to a Stanley Cup last season. He should be our goaltender for a long time.

2)John Grahame
Team:Florida
Height:6'2 Weight:218
Age:30
Hometownenver,CO,USA

John is a very reliable back-up goaltender. He is not really suited for the lead role though, so if Cam were to be injured we better hope he is hot.

3)David Shantz
Team:Florida (ECHL)
Height:6'1 Weight:209
Age:20
Hometown:Hamilton, ONT,CAN

The former 2nd round draft pick in 2004 will be playing mostly in the AHL unless injures occur. He was a decent goalie in the OHL, and is still quite young.

4)Mike Rouleau
Team:Bowling Green (NCAA)
Height:6'1" Weight:175lbs
Age:20
Hometown:Westboro, MA, USA

The former 7th round pick of the Flames will probably never see NHL action, as quite frankly he does not have the skill or potential. He may make a good AHL or ECHL goalie though.

Pier-Olivier Pelletier
Team: Drummondville (QMJHL)
Height:6'2" Weight:183lbs
Age:19
Hometown:St. Louis, SK, CAN

A former 2nd round pick of the Flyers in 2005. He does not seem to have much potential for the NHL.

Re: The future of the NHL (EHM 2007)

Defensemen

1)Rob Blake
Team:Florida
Height:6'4" Weight:224lbs
Age:36
Hometown:Simcoe, ONT, CAN

Rob Blake will be our key defensemen on a very weak group of defensemen. He is very physical and possesses a wicked shot. Thought he is 36 we would love to get a couple more years out of him.

2)Brett Clark
Team:Florida
Height:6'1" Weight:195lbs
Age:29
Hometown:Wapella, SK, CAN

The talent kind of drops off after Rob Blake. Though is a pretty decent defensemen we definitely need better ones. He finally made the NHL for full-time duty last year.

3)Francis Bouillon
Team:Florida
Height:5'8" Weight:191
Age:30
Hometown:New York, NY, USA

A very undersized defensemen, but very determined. But he is still very good. Not really what I want for a top 4 defensemen though. He is better suited for third pairing.

4)Jon Klemm

Team:Florida
Height:6'2" Weight:198lbs
Age:36
Hometown:Cranbrook, BC, CAN

At 36 he is near the end of his career. And his production is falling rapidly. Hopefully he won't be a liability.

5)Bryce Salvador
Team:Florida
Height:6'2" Weight:213lbs
Age:30
Hometown:Brandon, MB, CAN

Bryce is suited for a defensive or shut-down role on the team. He is not very offensively talented.

6)Dan McGillis

Team:Florida
Height:6'2" Weight:229lbs
Age:34
Hometown:Hawkesbury, ON, CAN

If my defense had any depth at all, he would not be playing on my team. But since I don't he will be playing limited minutes, as quite frankly he should be playing in the AHL.

7)Martin Tuma
Team:Florida (ECHL)
Height:6'4" Weight:209
Age:20
Hometown:Most, CZE

Martin will be playing in the AHL mostly this season. He is our former 5th round draft pick in 2003. I imagine he should play in the AHL for a while.

8)Ben Shutron
Team:Kingston (OHL)
Height:6'1" Weight:183
Age:18
Hometown:Orleans, ONT, CAN

Ben is our top defensive prospect. He was a 4th round draft pick last year by Chicago. I will keep him in the OHL until he is 20.

9)Raymond Macias

Team:Kamloops (WHL)
Height:6'1" Weight:196lbs
Age:19
Hometown:Long Beach,CA,USA

Raymond is a former 4th round pick of Colorado. He will probably play in the AHL next season.

10)Scott Jackson

Team:Seattle (WHL)
Height:6'4" Weight:205
Age:19
Hometown:Salmon Arm,BC,CAN

A former 2nd round pick of the Blues. When he is finished in the WHL in two years, he will play in the AHL.

11)Joey Gaustad

Team:Wisconsin (NCAA)
Height:6'6" Weight:222lbs
Age:18
Hometown:Wayne,NJ,USA

Joey is a former 2nd round pick of the Avalanche. I will be keeping him in college for the next three years.

12)Brad Bradley

Team:Maine (NCAA)
Height:6'7" Weight:209lbs
Age:18
Hometown:Quebec City,QC,CAN

At 6'7" he is very tall. He is a former 2nd round pick of the Blackhawks. He will be staying in college.

Re: The future of the NHL (EHM 2007)

Left Wings

1)Patrik Elias
Team:Florida
Height:6'1" Weight:194lbs
Age:30
Hometown:Trebic, CZE

Patrik will be our first line center. He is a former all-star so he is very talented. We will be looking for him to score many of our goals.

2)Steve Sullivan
Team:Florida
Height:5'9" Weight:154
Age:32
Hometown:Timmins,ON,CAN

Steve can also play right wing. He is small but very fast. But also very injury prone. I will be hoping he stays healthy as he will score lots of our goals.

3)Marco Sturm
Team:Florida
Height:6'0" Weight:194lbs
Age:27
Hometowningolfing,GER

Marco can also play center. He will be looked on to score us some goals.

4)Kirk Maltby
Team:Florida
Height:6'0" WEIGHT:189lbs
Age:33
Hometown:Guelph,ONT,CAN

Kirk is a defensive specialist. I won't be expecting to many goals from him as he is suited for a bottom four position.

5)Stephane Veilleux
Team:Florida
Height:6'1 Weight:185lbs
Age:24
Hometown:Beauceville,QC,CAN

Stephane will be playing in both the NHL and the AHL this season as he will be fighting for a chance to play in the NHL this season. He is still young at only 24.

6)Brad Larson

Team:Florida
Height:6'0" Weight:189lbs
Age:29
Hometown:Nakusp,BC,CAN

Brad will be playing in the AHL mostly this season. As left wing has alot of depth.

7)Dick Axelsson

Teamjurgardon (SEL)
Height:6'2" Weight:176lbs
Age:19
Hometown:Stolkholm,SWE

Dick should be not much of a force in the SEL, I will try to bring him to the AHL in two years.

8)Constantin Braun
Team:Berlin Juniors (Ger Jr)
Height:6'3" Weight:198lbs
Age:18
Hometown:Lampertheim, GER

A former 6th round draft pick of the Kings. He is the captain of the German U-20 team.

Re: The future of the NHL (EHM 2007)

Centers

1)John Madden
Team:Florida
Height:5'11" Weight:189lbs
Age:31
Hometown:Barrie,ONT,CAN

John is not my ideal first line center, but he will have to do. He may do good in a scoring environment though, unlike NJ.

2)Jason Weimer
Team:Florida
Height:6'1" Weight:222lbs
Age:30
Hometown:Kimberley,BC,CAN

Jason is also not my ideal 2nd line center as he is an enforcer.

3)Marcel Goc
Team:Florida
Height:6'1' Wight:189lbs
Age:23
Hometown:Calw,GER

Marcel will probably be the 2nd line center. He seems pretty good for a 23 year old.

4)Denis Arkhipov
Team:Florida
Height:6'3" Weight:213
Age:27
Hometown:Kazan,RUS

He is returning to the NHL after two years in Russia. He will be fighting for a spot in training camp.

5)Scott Nichol
Team:Florida
Height:5'8" Weight:171lbs
Age:31
Hometown:Edmonton,AB,CAN

Scott is a grinding center. He will be fighting for a spot on the team, as we have a lot of mediocre center.

6)John Pohl
Team:Florida
Height:6'0" Weight:189;bs
Age:27
Hometown:Rochester,MN,USA

John will be playing in the AHL if he does not win a spot on the team.

7)Kyle Brodziak
Team:Florida
Height:6'2" Weight:191lbs
Age:22
Hometown:St. Paul,AB,CAN

At 22 it is probably best for him to play in the AHL, nevertheless he will be fighting for a spot on the big club.

8)Petteri Nokelainen
Team:Florida
Height:6'0 Weight:176lbs
Age:20
Hometown:Imatra,FIN

He will be playing in the AHL this season as he is not ready for the NHL, but hopefully he will be playing for us one day.

9)Brad Cotton

Team:Mississauga
Height:6'0" Weight:189lbs
Age:19
Hometown:Kahnawake,QC,CAN

The former 4th round pick of the Sens. Brad will be playing in the OHL for the next two seasons.

10)Denis Stasyuk
Team:Novokuznetsk (RUS)
Height:6'3 Weight:180
Age:20
Hometown:Angarsk,RUS

Our former 6th round pick in 2003. He will be playing in Russia, I'm not sure he wants to come to North America.

Re: The future of the NHL (EHM 2007)

Right Wings

1)Marek Svatos

Team:Florida
Height:5'9" Weight:169lbs
Age:24
Hometown:Kosice,SVK

Marek is a great young player. He came from nowhere last year and scored 30 goals in his rookie season.

2)Matt Cooke
Team:Florida
Height:5'11" Weight:202lbs
Age:27
Hometown:Belleville,ONT,CAN

Matt is a shut-down kind of player. He is more suited for a bottom four role.

3)Georges Laraque

Team:Florida
Height:6'3" Weight:238lbs
Age:29
Hometown:Montreal,QC,CAN

Georges is an enforcer. He should be our main enforcer.

4)Andrei Kostitsyn
Team:Florida
Height:6'0" Weight:198lbs
Age:21
Hometown:Novopolotsk,BLR

Andrei is a good young player. He should be playing both bottom and top line minutes, or maybe AHL.

5)Ryan Kesler
Team:Florida
Height:6'2' Weight:194lbs
Age:21
Hometown:Livonia,MI,USA

Ryan should be fighting for a spot with Kostitsyn. As he is just as good and has the same potential.

6)Grant Marshall

Team:Florida
Height:6'1" Weight:198lbs
Age:33
Hometown:Mississauga,ONT,CAN

Grant will be the odd one out and probably play in the AHL. He is a defensive specialist.

7)B.J. Crombeen

Team:Pori (FIN)
Height:6'2' Weight:211lbs
Age:20
Hometown:Newmarket,ONT,CAN (Where I live)

B.J will be playing in Pori. I will try to get him to come back to Canada, as we need some players in the AHL.
