Gauging interest

[cnshockey]

I heard fantasy - are you talking 32 teams starting from scratch? or current 30 teams with 2 expansions - 2 expansions building their team similar to when real NHL teams started......

and I think the one living nearest to LA gets LA
Sorry Andy, you live closer to the Sharks than I do......

If I'm San Jose, I'm trading EVERYONE, relocating the team to San Diego and calling them the California North Stars (CNS Hockey)

I refuse to be SJ though. If this is by choice and Chris gets the Kings, I'm taking Sens or Avs.

my initial thought was 2 expansion franchises building their teams like a real expansion franchise; but a Super Draft would be extremely, extremely cool (but would take forever).

I have alot of ideas for this right now.

Thats fine... this is what would make it fun!

btw, I probably would not take the Sabre GM spot... I already have a team in mind that I would want.

Here is my thoughts on the Conference/Divisional setup on this 32 Team League

EAST
North
Buffalo
Boston
Montreal
Toronto
Ottawa
Pittsburgh
Columbus
Philadelphia

South
Rangers
Islanders
Devils
Atlanta
Carolina
Tampa
Florida
Washington

WEST
North
Detroit
Minnesota
Chicago
Calgary
Edmonton
Nashville
Vancouver
Expansion Team #1 (Winnipeg?)

South
Dallas
Phoenix
Los Angeles
Anaheim
San Jose
Colorado
St. Louis
Expansion Team #2 (Kansas City?)


Other options do exist

1) Move Columbus into the Northwest and move the Winnipeg team to Hamilton or Quebec.

2) Make the teams in both North Divisions a Conference and both South Divisions a conference (This would put all 6 current Canadian teams in the same Conference!)

3) Go with no divisional structure, just 16 teams in a Conference.



I think there is some interest for this. Any more input?

Actually give me the expansion in Winnipeg.

Unless you move the 2nd expansion to Seattle, which would do so much better for a real franchise. Then, I'd take that one

Or we could do a SCF fantasy league on Yahoo, ESPN or something like that? Either way, I'm in.

I'd say super draft, just draft the 18 skaters + 2 goalies, than a few back-ups for injuries. And also make it where we have to stay under the cap, and we can trade draft picks. I can help as well. I have some free-time.

im very interested

I'd be interested depending on how it is set up. Like the expansion teams would be at a huge disadvantage in this set up? Lots of question marks still.

I've been waiting for this to happen, can't wait. Hopefully you can start out as a CHL player, play your junior career and then get drafted to the NHL
