An NHL 11 Production:

The Lone Star State - A Dallas Stars Franchise

First time trying to do a Hockey 'chise, but with NHL 11 being pretty addictive since I bought it, I decided to start a franchise. I feel like the Dallas Stars are an up-and-coming team in the NHL, and I feel like with what their doing in real life, I want to accomplish that as well.

I was really fooling around with the idea for a bit now, but I'v decided to... DO A FANTASY DRAFT! Haha, yeah I know, stupid. But I kind of wanted to a change, and what's better than getting a whole new different team. So basically... Crosby, Ovechkin, those guys won't be on the same team, hopefully. I'm gonna stop talking now, and in a few minutes post the results of the Draft Order.

Adios!

So... I got the 19th pick. Not thrilled about it, but I'm basically right in the middle of the pack. Looks like I might not get a true superstar, but I'll be looking for some good talent. Hopefully pick up a few young, A-B potential players (Taylor Hall comes to mind). So, yeah... next update should be the draft results (just the first round for all the teams), and then just the Dallas Stars draft results.

Fantasy draft eh, well good luck...

UPDATE: Scrapping the whole 'Fantasy Draft' thing, and going back to a normal season. Realized it's better to just gut it out through the season, and rebuild in the off-season. I mean, haha, I won't count out the playoffs, but Dallas defense isn't that great. Anyway, I'll play the first game tonight and post.

[Dynasty]

yeah i don't blame you, I have done a couple fantasy drafts and it kills the the lfavour of the chise for me.
