Did you create an entire Nordiques team without a single player from Quebec?

You know they would probably riot in Quebec City if that was the case?

Isles would leave Bailey unprotected and if not selected he is not costing 2 2nds to move. Panik only costs 250k buried and doesn’t hurt the cap.

Me and you had very very diffrent teams
My 33rd one is much more conservative

Canes protected Skjei against Seattle, they will do it again here.

Detroit's not dealing Fulcher and a 7th to move Osterle, We don't need him he's easily replaceable. It's just Jordan Osterle not 3 pieces.

Hawks would protect kurashev

Toews, Kane, Cat, Strome, Dach, Raddysh, Kurashev
Jones, Murphy, Mcabe

Notably unprotected: Kubalik, C Jones, Lafferty, Katchouk

Maybe you can even get toews to waive a NMC to protect Kubalik

For Buffalo the question would be whether they would protect Bryson over Fitzgerald. I think there are some who would say they wouldn’t. Bryson has played more NHL games, but it is questionable whether he is more valuable. In any event I suppose whichever of the two is unprotected would be the guy getting chosen.

Kinda doubt the bruins would expose their third leading goal scorer.

I can't see the NHL expanding and as much as I would like the Quebec in the league, it's not abn economic viable franchise...so it the dream ends there

only examining the roster: I'd put Dadonov on line1 with Kadri. Two very skilled forwards who would compliment each other like Naz and Burakovsky. Bailey on a nice, veteran line2. Overall, I like this better than what SEA did.
