Dobber Hockey Capped writer Alex Maclean joins Peter for a record length episode. On this epic show Alex and Peter go over who they would protect from expansion draft for each 30 teams.
We used the CapFriendly Seattle Expansion Draft Simulator for this exercise.
Then they each take turns picking from each others lists, one player from each team and why they pick each player and who was also in contention.
Who drafted better?
