haha But I probably have the youngest team in the league. A lot of teams will have tough decisions to make (looking at all you teams with 2 goalies).

Idk...The Bolts are pretty young.
Avg age 25.3 (among 30 NHLers)

Average age includes a 30 year old Bishop and 33 year old Niemi as our netminders. Minus those 2 dinosaurs we are even younger. Not too bad.

Did some HW here. 9 of my 10 protected skaters are all but locks. Fight between Byron, Yak, Kap and Hansen for that last spot. A trade could change things, though.

Now that I think about it, I will probably use the 7f/3d setup. I forgot I even had 3 D worth protecting. Pretty much whole team will be protected.

No worries,  I can only draft one guy, so I only need one.
One man's trash is another man's treasure. Besides I've got no issues with protecting your guys within the rules.

I would only have an issue with guys "cheating" the process. I didn't pay $100 (the highest fee in FNHL history) to be cheated out of the expansion process.

Guys can panic and make trades, and worry and be up all night if they choose. Guys can have almost an entire roster protected. None of that fazes :LV: ...it's the same process faced in real life.

The idea of anyone colluding to cheat the legal process of expansion...now that would get to me. Short of that, do what you do.  :iatp:

Exactly

FNHL GMs are the best I know of anywhere for hockey. I expect you geniuses to make them  :soapbox: (damyou) :soapbox: roster moves.

I wouldn't have a whole lot eligible in Tampa neither.  :rofl:
