After you choose the best possible Picks it is necessary to trade and build a Team for Season One.
Trades during the Entry Draft are necessary ! We got down from Number 3 Pick to Number 6 in the Draft Lottery.
From our Scouts thoughts we see only a Top 6 Player from NCAA Player Right Wing Orlando Manlow, so we will try to Trade Pick Number One.

Re: Kitchener Rangers NHL 21 Expansion Team

Defensive Defenseman Andrei Gonchar.
The Avalanche selected from the Byram Trade Elite Player Andrei Gonchar the Number 5 Pick from the Draft Ranking. Expected Number 6 Pick Right Wing Orlando Manlow was drafted by the Ottawa Senators. Not a bad Draft choice !

Free Agent Signings

At the Moment the NHL, AHL Team looks like this .......

DeBrusk- Carter- Josh Anderson
Namestnikov - Turris - Grigorenko
Blais - Roslovic - Donato ( D. Brown )
Milano - Hayton ( Spezza ) - Joey Anderson

? - Schultz
Bean - Dobson
Byram - J. Braun ( M. Anderson )

Demko, Jarry

AHL Team

Quenneville - Eakin - Tomasino
Fjällby - Chlapik - ?
Eriksson - McShane - ?
? - Fonstad - ?

Laitamäki - Honka
B. Smith - Foote
? - ?

Hill, ?

So what we need is a Goalie, some Wingers, minimum 2 Defender for the AHL Team and one Top 2 Defender for the NHL.
