👏 Congrats King Boseman on your purchase of the Seattle Kraken. We had a great discussion with you and know you will guide the newest FNHL team to a competitive start! You can feel free to name your minor league affiliate team. You are all tagged up with Kraken colors on your profile.

  I plant to have fun with expansion and hopefully let others have some fun too in the process. Expansion is great for any league that can keep things organized because it gets busy. So far so good here in FNHL. 

Edmonton Oilers trades away
Pierre-Olivier Joseph
2022 Draft Pick, Round 1 (Edmonton Oilers)

Boston Bruins trades away
Philippe Myers
2022 Draft Pick, Round 3 (Boston Bruins)

I think Joseph and Myers have about the same ceiling, but Myers has proven a little in the NHL.  I upgrade a pick in 22 to make up that difference.

Thanks Boseman!

EDM confirms. I prefer building with 6'5" Myers to Joseph and want Phils grit on my new look Oilers. Tough parting with POJ who's a great prospect and likely has a better offensive ceiling especially in PIT.

King,

Can you say a bit more about your train of thought in this deal?   They're in the same position with very similar production in the last two seasons, with very similar contracts, but they're in very different parts of the age curve.

Thanks,

Sure. You're worried this is skewed because Olli is 26yo and Alec is 33yo.
I and many Pens fans (add Hawks management & fans) have never believed much in Maatta. If you watch him play versus Martinez, you would also choose Alec given his 2way skill and reliability. If Olli was going to pop, it would've happened in PIT and less likely to happen with a rebuilding LAK.

For fantasy, Alec looks like he was a natural with VGK and produced strong PointPerGame #s and was trusted with big minutes, look at his Playoff stats. Add Pietrangelo to the mix and Martinez could see a solid fantasy uptick for a couple of years.

If the Martinez experiment fails, he walks to FA in 2021 and I use 2.2 million to sign a replacement of my choice.

Dedreger, can I ask you what your primary concern was so I understand your mindset as TC member?

Thanks Blkhwkfn and Wundermaan! 

Oh man, other than redraft leagues, it's such a rare opportunity to get a chance to create your own team in a mature established league. I relish the chance to be a franchise/league disruptor after decades in fantasy hockey. It's my hope this coming Seattle expansion draft will create opportunities for a number of teams to improve or protect their assets. Looking forward to building a competitive franchise.

Thanks for welcoming me to Franchise NHL and to the commissioners PPG and PigsRule for giving me this opportunity with the expansion Kraken. Seattle is open for business!

Cheers everyone! 

I'll go with majority. Seems simple enough to contain it all to the offseason.
