was part of an 3 team expansion draft- there were 12 original teams...9 of the teams kept 10 players each and the 3 teams players that we are replacin, along w/ the rest of the players in the league (includin prospects) were put into a pool in which we could draft from- its a h2h...standard yahoo scorin system (g/ast/ppp/+/-/pims/gwg- w/gaa/sv%/gaa)-it was a 10 player draft (as we keep 10 players) and now along w/ all 12 teams there will be a 8 player draft- anyway, heres my 10 player draft...opinions appreciated- i think i did fairly well and can be fairly competitive (i actually think my team is better then half the league as it is)

n backstrom
e staal
s gomez
m savard
r nash
r smyth
a radulov
a hemsky
k lehtonen
m legace

obviously i have to concentrate on dmen in the regular draft- and theres some pretty good ones left- so i think i can cover myself pretty good there- anyway opinions appreciated

Looks like a very strong expansion team to me, and with Staal, Backstrom and Radulov you will only get stronger. Plus Hemsky could be dynamite if the Oil ever get someone to play with him. Great work.

That\'s really good for an expansion draft. It\'s pretty good regardless of whether its expansion or not. you got solid goaltending in legace and lehtonen and very good offense. And with Radulov, E. Staal, and Backstrom you should be a powerful team in years to come, especially if Hemsky gets a sniper to play with.

All in all, very well done.

Wow that team is looking good. Good luck in filling out the rest of the roster.

my bad cause expansion really isnt the right word- cause they werent expandin they were replacin 3 dead teams- there really was a lot of talent...certainly enough for the 3 teams- 1 team however drafted older guys like ray whitney, pavol demitra, brian rolston and p boucher- which was odd to me but helped my draft - also im not sure its a league of \&quot;puck heads\&quot; dont know much bout the rest of the guys in the league but i think i got over on the other 2 i drafted w/- but thanks

Wow, I was going to say that your team looks very good for an expansion team.

I joined a pool last year as 1 of 4 expansion teams. We were allowed to pick 4 players from the other teams\' unprotected players...and believe me when I say that there wasn\'t much worth picking. I ended up with Jason Allison, Nick Boynton, Henrik Tallinder and Francois Bouillon...lol.

We also had 5 draft picks like the already established teams. I managed to swing a few deals and ended up with guys like Matthew Lombardi, Darcy Tucker, Todd White, Kyle Calder, Tyler Arnason, Guillaume Latendresse, Rob Schremp, Steve Eminger, Milan Jurcina, Ladislav Smid and Zbynek Michalek. I also picked up a few more picks along the way and drafted fairly well with Bryan Little, Steven Stamkos, Troy Brouwer, Kevin Klein, Matt Niskanen, Robbie Earl, Danny Irmen, plus.

I guess I\'m just trying to say how jealous of your team I was when I thought it was an expansion team.

Good luck...your team looks solid.
