Expansion sucks. No, really, the expansion draft is terrible in that your team loses players for nothing. Those players have some value to the team and that they just get plucked from the team without any kind of compensation, aside from the check the owner receives as part of expansion. Expansion is good for league because it means it’s growing and growing into markets it once wasn’t before. However, the player pool will be watered down with having to fill yet another team, which means that the overall talent in the NHL will slide for the next few years.
Devising an Expansion Draft Strategy is no fun at all.
