Winger Jesper Fast is leading the team with 6 points through the first four games, and linemate Yani Gourde leads the team with two goals.

Started one as the Seattle Spartans. Curious as to what trades you made after the expansion draft? I did mine and because the best players available seem to be D-men, I ended up moving back enough of those prize fighters (Ekholm, Dumolin, Larsson, Martinez, etc.) to end up with 5 1st round picks in 2019. Kinda felt like cheating though since I didn't end up with bodies. Just curious to know how others handle this.
