Leafs Fantasy Draft Dynasty

[bthomp05]

Have about 12 games to go but I thought some people might find this interesting:

1) Datsyuk, rated 90 and plays for the Devils, leads the league with 102 pts - Hall, leading scorer for the Leafs, is 14 pts back.

2) Ovechkin, rated 94 and plays for LA, leads the league with 46 goals - Hall, leading goal scorer for the Leafs, is 7 goals back.

3) Two way tie for the President's Trophy, both Western teams, as the Canucks and Sharks battle it out with 100 pts - Leafs are 9 pts back.

Sharks should be dominating with their line up lol.

Nice to see hall giving it, what is his overall now?

You'd think, but every year the Sharks bow out in the 1st round, ha-ha..... Both Hall and Getzlaf are rated 92 at this point.

2015 Done, Time for the Playoffs


The Leafs finished the 2015 season with a 48-26-8 record (104 pts) which placed them 4th in the East and 5th in the NHL (Sabres crowned king with 114pts). Not as good as the last two season (109, 117) but still another stellar performance to put them north of 100 pts.

With a 4th place finish the Leafs will take on P.Kane and his Penguins in the 1st round of the playoffs.

I know, he really has matured since I drafted him - 1st season 61 pts, now 99. I truely believe next year he will break the 100 pt barrier.

I'm estatic Dynasty, this team is running on all cylinders now. I am getting offense from all my lines and my d-core is a finely tunned machine - Here's to Cup three, hopefully.

Rupert (78B [B-, A-, A-] drafted 1st (4th) in 2012, 6'0 182lbs 20yrs left handed) has progressed well over the last three years (1 in the minors, 2 on the baby Leafs) and like Hagos (74B- [B-, B-. B-] drafted 2nd (31) in 2012, 6'2" 190 lbs 21yrs right handed) I don't know what I am going to do next year. Pull a Philly and put them on the Leaf's 3rd line or have them spend another year on the Marlies. What do you think (This question is also open to others as well)?

PLAYER MANAGEMENT


Cap Situation
With a projected salary cap of $70.300M and already $46.555M committed for next year, the Leafs will have about $23.745M to spend on 14 retainees or UFAs.

Though on a quick scan of the roster it will probably cost the Leafs close to $12.000M just to resign Getzlaf (a minor pay increase to $7.000m from $6.710M) and Niederreiter (expect jump from $2.540M to $4.000M), and expect another $3.000M to be ear marked for resigning prospect PFW Hagos and future Manny replacement Grenier. So really only $8.745M is available, should be interesting.

Youth Look
The Leafs have 18 players in the minors that have B- or higher potential with every position from center to goalie covered. Years of draft pick accumulation and honest drafting have left this team stocked and prepared for the future.

And with atleast three players (Rupert, Hagos, A Gudbranson) poised for gradulation the Leafs development team has done an excellent job.

Draft
With 6 picks in the first two rounds (3x1st, 3x2nd) of the upcoming draft the Leafs can rest assured they will select atleast 2 great prospects.

And on thier short list are the following: a top 6 sniper (possible replacement for Rupert or Puempel - most likely from Europe or Russia), a bottom 6 PWF winger (need scoring grit for the future, thanks Dynasty for the idea) and a TGH 5/6 defensemen (would be nice to home grow one).

Leafs
Blue - UFA
Red -RFA

Hall - Seguin - Paajarvi
Lucic - Getzlaf - Niederreiter
Kunitz - Heberdeau - Zibanejad
Donally - Malhotra - Saad
Ext: Kopecky

Looks like your team is progressing well. I don't think you'll have too much difficulty resigning everyone.

Continuing to put a fantastic product on the ice, keep it up. Looks like your Stanley Cup contender should be set for years to come.
