Brian in Boston Posted July 17, 2004 Share Posted July 17, 2004 The new WHA's inaugural Fantasy Draft ... uh, I mean Professional Draft... is underway. Results can be found at:http://www.worldhockeyassociation.net/Hmmm... I wonder where the "Founders' franchise" is planning to set-up shop? Could this be the team that has supposedly engaged in on-again/off-again negotiations with arena management in Cincinnati? And given that the WHA reportedly broke off negotiations towrads the purchase of the Orlando Seals yet again, where is the Florida franchise going to be based? Is this the Miami-based team that had originally been announced?Talk about high-stakes fantasy sports.Brian in Boston Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkrdevil Posted July 17, 2004 Share Posted July 17, 2004 10. Dallas Scott Gomez C New Jersey (NHL) Great pick-up there. Scott Gomez filed for Salary Arbitration, meaning he will have a contract with the Devils next year and will probably sign a long term contract with them before the hearing. I'm sure these other idiot teams drafted other players who did it instead of players they may actually get sign. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Notch Novelty Posted July 17, 2004 Share Posted July 17, 2004 A lot of guys drafted in the USFL didn't play a game in the league. Dan Marino for example, 1st Overall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jkrdevil Posted July 17, 2004 Share Posted July 17, 2004 Here's another dumb pick by the founders franchise....123. Founders' franchise Zach Parisé C North Dakota (NCAA) He signed with the Devils last year before the playoffs. I belive he signed a 3 year deal. At least the others were going to be free agents. This guy isn't even a free agent, he's under contract.The is a joke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brass Posted July 17, 2004 Share Posted July 17, 2004 Halifax took Travis Green 2nd overall? What this a randomized draft? Why would you do that when talent like Heatley, Thornton, and Kovalchuk is swarming around? On 4/10/2017 at 3:05 PM, Rollins Man said: what the hell is ccslc?

GeneralW91 Posted July 17, 2004 Share Posted July 17, 2004 Noone went for Crosby. If they drafted players under contract, why wouldnt they draft somone who wasnt really interested in the league? www.ABAsite.tk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

schlim Posted July 18, 2004 Share Posted July 18, 2004 I think it would have been to see a team draft Mario Lemieux. Then he could own a team, be a striking player, and lead another team in scoring in a rival league all at the same time. While he's at it, perhaps he could even buy a WHA team and do everythng.

Well, he wouldn't be a striking player since the players aren't going on strike, they are happy with the way things are now. It would be the owners locking the players out. It's still funny because Lemieux would be locking himself out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
