Hey guys,
Sorry I haven't posted anything since the season ended. Didn't even brag over the first undefeated season in NEHL history!!! Although in a shortened season...
Anyways, there was kind of a war in my country so things got a bit busy...
First step this offseason is to find out who will be coming back. Kraken and Penguins have already let us know they won't be returning. Please let me know if you're returning or not.
Also, if anyone could help out finding new owners for the Kraken and Penguins that would be greatly appreciated. Life has been insanely busy this past year and I'm doing my best to keep things going here, but the more help I can get, the better.
Regarding the draft, as usual we will be pairing up the bottom 10 teams (Wombats and I get picks 11 and 12) with the bottom 10 NHL teams. Then everything goes according to the NHL's Draft Lottery. The team matchups are in the next post in this thread. Just one thing, the NHL's Kraken are ranked 3rd in the lottery, even though they have the same odds as the 4th team. So for our matchup, the NHL's Kraken will be paired up with our 3rd worst team, not 4th. There was some confusion with this when Vegas joined the NHL.
Also, I renewed the league on Fantrax for next season. As we all know, there's a flat cap in the NHL, so our cap will also stay the same.
Trading is closed until we have a full 12 owners. Free agency will be closed until the free agency draft in July.
Returning:
Montreal Pirates
Quebec Nordiques
Pittsburgh Penguins - No
Castle Rock Rage - Yes
Inglewood Jacks
Winnipeg Jets - Yes
Seattle Kraken - No
Helderberg Mountaineers - Yes
San Jose Sharks - Yes
Vancouver Canucks - Yes
Westsyde Wombats - Yes
Crease Kings - Yes
