Team: 2023-24 Custom Team

Initial Creation Date: Apr. 2, 2024

Published: Apr. 2, 2024

Salary Cap Mode: Basic

Graf sweepstakes...where we stand

-- At least 25 offers
-- Down to 6 teams three weeks ago
-- Bruins are out, Canucks are out, Preds may be out
-- Likely a team in East
-- Some have said non-playoff team in East
-- Wants to be in/near Northeast
-- There is a West team in mix


Just my speculation....

Frontrunners in the mix...
-- NYR (per multiple sources, Drury scouted in person earlier this month)
-- PIT (Dubas attended Mar 30 game; Friedman linked; Q'Pac reporter list)

May still be in mix (have scouted since Graf cut down to six teams)
-- ARI (Armstrong attended Mar 30 game)
-- MIN (per Russo, on Q'Pac reporter list)
-- NJD (Fitzgerald attended Mar 30 game)
-- NSH (Trotz & Kealty were at game Feb 23, on Q'Pac reporter list; out per beat reporter)
-- WAS (per Q'Pac reporter list)

Teams that were in, appear to be out
-- BOS (now out per Mark Divver)
-- CAR (Scout Feb 23, GM prev game, coaches son played at QPac)
-- COL (per Seravalli)
-- CHI (per beat reporters)
-- EDM (per Seravalli)
-- FLA (Scout Feb 23, on Q'Pac reporter list)
-- NYI (Scout Feb 23)
-- OTT (Scout Feb 23)
-- SJS (per Servavalli)
-- TOR (per multiple sources)
-- VAN now out (per Rick Dhaliwal)


-------

All together, my best guess is that the six teams are
-- PIT
-- NYR
-- NJD
-- WAS
-- One more Eastern conference team
-- One western team out of ARI, MIN, NSH
