If Philly got an expansion team and you could draft one player out from every team to get them started, who would you be grabbing?

So there are two directions I can go with this. There's "who would I personally want to see" and "who do I think would make the best team." I'm going to go with the latter to the best of my ability, with the caveat that this is entirely unrealistic, as in actual expansion drafts, teams can protect their best players.

LW - Emily Clark (OTT). Was tempted to pick up Watts here, but Clarky grew up a Flyers fan and I feel like she'd be a fan favorite. Chippy, chirpy, and talented.

C - Taylor Heise (MIN). Yeah.

RW - Izzy Daniel (TOR). Don't be fooled by her college counting stats, she was dragging the husk of a Cornell team that couldn't score. Put her on the top line with some elite talent and she's going to feel like Goku.

LD - Ella Shelton (NYS). Picking a New York player was tough for me, because they only seem to click as a full unit. I think Shelton has a lot of upside to her, and she's still really young.

RD - Erin Ambrose (MTL). Definition of a workhorse. Will give you 30 minutes a game. She shouldn't have to, but she does.

G - Aerin Frankel (BOS). She's one of the youngest franchise goalies on a generally older Boston team. Knight/Keller are both exciting but on the wrong side of their peak.

Uma to Shika - 氷

- reinsuba

- reincarnation paro: post ayamatsu, modern AU (set in RW)

- rein remembers the events but subaru doesn't

- perfect-n-popular 3rd year student rein & 1st year orphaned near-shut-in subaru

- the story's plot starts with rein saves subaru from the people who nearly killed him

- rein is very wary of this subaru but chooses to be close with him because he wants to keep tabs on subaru

- rein notices that this subaru is a kind person, unlike the one he met from his past life

- subaru seems innocent but he actually did a crime to save his adopted siblings (elsa and meili) from authorities; he also feels there's darkness within him

- rein and subaru became very close friends

-- they're always together (subaru tends to stay on reinhard's home)

- however this changes when one day before rein's birthday, subaru met felt for the first time while he's making a birthday cake for both meili and rein

- he told this encounter to rein

- unfortunately, since felt is one of the important people in rein's past life and was killed because of past subaru's actions; he became furious and hurt subaru

- confused and hurt (and felt rejected), subaru decided to spend his time in a park. there, he saw emilia for the first time in this timeline

- past memories flooded within him and the past subaru resurfaced; he still retains the memories and feelings of present subaru, especially that unrequited love ;;

- he still wanted to end rein's life

- rein noticed that it's likely subaru came back again and he wished they could fix their relationship but he already sensed there's something wrong

- subaru greeted him and then--

- stabbed rein with a knife on the abdomen

- subaru expressed how much he wished that he was saved by rein just like the one in this world

- rein apologized (?) to him but he still won't forgive him and he stands for the people who were hurt and died by subaru's actions

- rein asks subaru if he feels satisfaction and happiness when he finally kills rein

- rein wondered why despite the fact that he promised himself that he will end this world's subaru's life, he can't bring himself to do so

- he saw other sides of subaru and realized that he enjoyed his time with subaru o<< despite a part of him hates it

- realizing that subaru taught him to enjoy his life more; however he realized that he's getting more stupid because of subaru

- finally, rein confessed his biggest sin - falling in love with subaru

- those words shook subaru's core and asks rein if that confession is for the subaru of that world.

- in the end, subaru saw the cake he made for reinhard's birthday and was overwhelmed with emotions, he......

Troy’s coaching was so confusing. Gardiner was one of the best players in the first period and then barely played after. He put the usual third line back together which was good but that meant moving Gardiner. Watts and Gardiner both didn’t get nearly enough time. The fourth line was not good, I don’t know what’s happening with Jenner but tbh Gosling may be playing better. I would honestly like to see Gardiner with Turnbull and Clark again and have Watts play with Poulin and Stacey. (With Nurse likely out) Have fillier center the second line with Maltais and maybe Jenner and then Gosling Serdachny O’Neill fourth line

yeah this sounds messy. but as much as i like to be a troy hater, there's a chance he's not coaching this game to win so much as figure out what he should do for worlds [granted he should be able to do both at the same time].

jenner did get knocked at a game feb 1 so there's a chance she's still working through that

team canada has too many left wingers. so instead of the mtl problem where you're forcing a righty to play left, now you have to force lefties to play right [a useful skill but not great for roster construction] Out of 14 forwards, you have 5 right handed shots. so you put more lefties at center [allegedly]. that's why fillier is on RW [she shoots right] even though she has C capabilities

what you are saying:

watts-poulin-stacey LLR maltais-fillier-jenner LRR gardiner-turnbull-clark LRL gosling-o'neill-serdachny LLR rattray L

i'd like to see gardiner skate with poulin [troy won't do this but he should] and I think the original 3rd line should stick together. so then you put jenner up top but she's not 100%? or you put fillier up top and force maltais to C [who is 39 of 65 this season] [fillier is 34 of 55, so almost the same %]

gardiner-poulin-fillier watts-maltais-serdachny clark-turnbull-stacey gosling-o'neill-jenner rattray

this lineup has all righties playing RW and all lefties playing LW

if he wanted to he could swap lines 2 and 3 for politics i guess but this is the best of canadian hockey so really what's the point

caveat of course being i did not watch most of the game and i really only watch mtl in pwhl

[sergeifyodorov]

hello hello!

Leafs have clinched, Habs have not.

TOR regulation W:

TOR clinches home-ice advantage (FLA and OTT cannot pass them (FLA due to tiebreaker, OTT in points)

Eastern wild-card playoff race is unchanged

TOR OT/SO W:

Nothing happens to TOR (if FLA wins out in regulation they could pass due to RW tiebreaker)

NYR and DET are eliminated, but CBJ remains in playoff contention and MTL do not clinch (MTL still controls destiny)

MTL OT/SO W:

Nothing happens to TOR

NYR and DET are eliminated, but CBJ remains in playoff contention (MTL stlil controls destiny)

MTL regulation W:

Nothing happens to TOR

MTL clinch, NYR, DET, and CBJ eliminated

NYR and DET will be eliminated with any MTL point, as they both max out at 87 points and would have to get in via RW tiebreaker. CBJ has a little more leeway, but not much -- they hold the RW tiebreaker if they win out in regulation, but this would also require MTL gain no more than two points from the next three games (one of which is against Chicago, so lol and lmao).

Is anyone up on the Habs or Leafs that can catch me up on playoff implications of their game tonight?

[strawberryblondebutch]

Per the toronto goal tending ask, a potential solution (depending on trade factors) could be trying to get chuli from montreal. Fans would love it, chuli could easily start. A hypothetical but unlikely potential trade could be for nurse. She hasn't quite figured it out in toronto, might be fun to see her on a different team. I dunno obviously probably not gonna happen for multiple reasons.

Nurse has a marquee contract with her hometown team. Afaik (most contract details are shrouded in secrecy besides term, which makes it... really hard to discuss trade talks) there aren't any no-trade clauses in the league, but she's effectively an immovable.

Chuli would need a big name to come back to MTL, seeing that she's gotten a good chunk of playing time to get ARD off her feet (Desbiens, while still elite, is now on the wrong side of 30 as a highly-mobile goalie, and you have to give her time off to preserve what makes her so good and dynamic).

It's not a good look to move on from the incumbent Patty Kaz winner, but if Izzy Daniel isn't going to see top-six minutes for the Sceptres (who also appear to be telling her not to shoot the puck... why for, beats me), she'd be an attractive trade piece for... just about any team. Seriously. I'd take her anywhere. Montreal might be a good fit, as it reunites her with KO (they played one season together at Cornell) and gives the Victoire another option at RW so Dubois isn't playing off-wing with Stacey out.

(OC) Frenchifying the Canadiens (An Alternate Reality)

(This is the squeakquel threequel to Moneyballing the Senators and Covertly Tanking the Wild)It's August 2019. Marc Bergevin and Trevor Timmins are sitting in the Montreal Canadiens' war room when the phone rings. It's Geoff Molson, the team president and co-owner.Hey guys, it's Geoff. I'm gonna cut a long story short - the province's Minister for Sports has apparently stumbled on some... compromising information about this organization. For legal reasons I'm not gonna get into it, but it implicates all of us in the front office. The good news is that he says he's not going to put it out there for the sake of the franchise and the city. The bad news is that he has one demand, and I don't think we'll be able to get out of it. He's a bit of a nationalist, you know? Very vive la Québec francophone and all that. He says the worst thing that ever happened to les Habs was when they started letting Ontarians and Americans on the team, and that he stopped watching when they made Saku Koivu captain. He told me he'll shred all the dirt he has on us if we make the Canadiens a 100% Québecois team by October. I know that puts you in a tough situation guys, but good luck guys!Bergevin and Timmins look at eachother in shock."Well at least this will save us a shit-ton on amateur scouting""This isn't funny Trevor, what the hell are we going to do? I guess I'll start sending out feelers and hopefully we'll be ready by opening night. If we rush this we'll lose every trade and look like imbéciles""No, Marc, we have to get all of this done now. Tonight. You think we'll lose these trades if we hurry? If McKenzie somehow gets wind of this and tweets it out we're gonna be icing a fucking QMJHL team this year. We need to do this all at once before anyone figures out what's going on.""Merde you're fucking right.""Think about it though Marc. If you brought a Cup to Montreal with a bunch of Anglos and Americans on the ice you'd be a hero, sure. But if you get les Canadiens une Coupe with all French guys they'll add your biceps to the fucking fleur de lis. Let's just do it and be légendes, frère.""Alright.

The Canadiens' front office pulled off all of these trades simultaneously, and not a single other GM realized what was going on. Sure they guessed that the Habs were targeting their French players (what else is new?) but they were as shocked as anyone when they started getting frantic texts as soon as they had submitted the deals to the league.Hockey media is a mess. TSN has interrupted their coverage of Canadian U20 Cricket regionals and dispatched the Bellicopter to retrieve Bobby Margarita from the Muskoka wilderness; analytics bloggers are frantically assembling heat maps and charts to make some sense of the madness; podcasters are recording 6-hour episodes.Bergevin and Timmins are asleep, and will be until the afternoon. They'll wake up to a copy of Le Devoir and the Montreal Gazette on the front porch of the Bell Centre with competing editorials:Montreal Gazette - August 11 2019"What the Hell did Bergevin Just Do?"MONTREAL, QC - NHL teams aren't put together in a day - it takes years of scouting, developing, trading, and signing to put together a team that can compete for the Stanley Cup. To succeed, managers have to be able to set aside their biases - for certain types of players, for action, and for nationality - and make rational, measured decisions.Apparently nobody told Marc Bergevin that.On Saturday night, Bergevin blew up a team that finished as close to a playoff spot as is humanly possible. Usually in hockey "blowing up a team" means trading a few core pieces; in this case it meant a rabid simultaneous onslaught of 13 trades replacing 90% of the roster and a large chunk of the prospect cupboard. And why? So that the insecurity of nationalist Francophones can be resurrected on the Bell Centre (excuse me, Centre Bell) ice, and the worst nostalgic tendencies of our society can play out below the retired number banners of Doug Harvey, Larry Robinson, and Bernie Geoffrion.Maybe this team will be a Cup contender, maybe they won't be. But the message that Marc Bergevin has sent to the thousands of children who watch the Montreal Canadiens (many of whose Weber or Price jerseys are now suddenly out of date) is one of exclusion and tribalism. And he, and Geoff Molson, and every element of our province responsible for this idiocy should be ashamed.Le Devoir - 11 Août 2019"Bergevin: le sauveur du hockey québécois"MONTRÉAL, QC - Avant jeudi soir, le mandat du directeur général des Canadiens, Marc Bergevin, était controversé. Pour chaque échange intelligente, il en avait un autre qui était horrible. Mais maintenant, il n’ya aucun doute: Marc Bergevin est un héros.Les Canadiens de Montréal participeront à une coupe Stanley ce printemps, et ce, avec une formation entièrement née et élevée au Québec pour la première fois en près de cent ans. Les enfants de la belle province seront inspirés, et le hockey québécois retrouvera enfin sa place sacrée au sommet. Une nouvelle génération de fierté française, de renouveau national et de domination du hockey est à portée de main. Et il n'y a aucun doute sur qui est responsable. Vive Bergevin!​How did it turn out in the end? Let's just say that the Fleurgevin was hanging in every classroom in the province by the summer.Hope you enjoyed, if you have any ideas for a future thing like this let me know!
