Interesting list.

 

I really don't like the divisions and wonder how easy a time the league would have getting the Wings to go back out west when they finally moved east after decades of lobbying.   But, if we're going with Quebec as the 30th team and since this is completely pretend, I guess it's the only way to go with this scenario.

 

But Phoenix just got new ownership and a new name, etc.  They're not getting contracted.

 

As for the expansion draft, if it's as before I would think each team gets to choose who is exposed.   Since he would absolutely be left exposed, can I interest you in taking Vinny Lecavalier from the Flyers instead of Schultz?

Also as i forgot to mention in my last post the reason why i went with the divisions that i did with the 6 divisions and 5 in each was because you have quebec in the northeast with montreal, toronto and Ottawa which would make a huge 4 way rival, i could not see Quebec being much of a rival to those teams with all of the division games with them being in the south east... Winnipeg being moved to Northwest would mean Colorado to Pacific and then it would ultimately mean that either Quebec or Boston would have to go to southeast and the other goes northeast..

ruxpin... I was just doing it as a bit of a idea to see what the roster would look like... I mean thats what i think the divisions would look if it went back to the 6 divisions 5 per type thing... As far as the other post said about the whole phoenix thing... I just used them folding the team and having Quebec go as a discussion purpose.. I did it a quick way of picking players as i basically picked players from the 3rd/4th liners and then the bottom pairing of fan guessed lines from hfboards.com.. If i remember correctly when columbus and minnesota came into the league 2000 there wasnt much top line players selected from that draft earlier... however i thank you guys for ur input on the post

since my post has to do with expansion i thought i would post it here... say for decision sake Quebec replaced Phoenix as a 30th team however as a expansion team and going back to the 6 division 5 teams..

I am thinking of putting Quebec back into nhl but i want to do a expansion draft and have a hard time coming up with a expansion draft team.. Pretty much all of other teams left overs.. Phoenix would become invalid as Quebec would be the 30th team. All phoenix players go to ufa.. If i am wrong with any of these picks please let me know so i can make a realistic nhl expansion team.

My picks are basically gone through all 30 team forums on HF and took players from other teams 3-4 forward lines or 3rd pairing or extra D or forwards or back up goalies to make up my expansion team..

Since you can only do 30 teams in nhl i have decided to go with the following divisions:

Atlantic: Same
Northeast: Quebec, Montreal, Toronto, Ottawa, Buffalo
Southeast: boston, florida, washington, carolina, tampa
