We all like top notch players and winning teams and having recently began enjoying the strategy of waiver wire league, I am putting together a waiver wire league with a twist for my first league.
League - NHL32678
Below you will find 50 of the worst NHL records since 1960. Pick a team and manage it to raise the Cup!
The waiver wire will be available for one player pick per calendar day. With one exception, If your "Bad Team" wins one of its 2 games on a calendar day you cannot use the waiver wire the next day.

I am still working on some details any input would be appreciated if you want a team let me know!

Polly72

I'll join. Love the idea. Ottawa 95-96 for me. A lot of teams on this list won't have enough players to fill out a roster - so, you might want to make a list of six bad forwards and six bad Dmen and a couple of bad goalies that teams can use to fill out their rosters. Just a thought.

I love this and am in for sure. Will there be a salary cap?

I will take the 82-83 Hartford Whalers

Ok so these dozen will be to pick from if players are missing. I will make a list and paste it in here.

How is a cap of $175 sound ?

Here is a list of the finest of the worst you can use these players to fill holes in your teams roster if you are missing players, but be warned although these players have 60% of their games their goal production is 1 or less with 5 or less points and a D of 25 or less.

If the cap is $175 million, I'll jump in with the 90-91 Nords

12-13 Nashville Predators

I like lower caps, but if you were thinking of going $175 million, how about in between at say $100 million? Injuries maybe at max 2 and average minor leaguers?

Need a Goalie? Here are the ones you can choose from to complete your "Best of the Worst" Roster if needed. Don't expect a Vezina!

Pass. Don't like the idea of 1 win. Knowing my luck, I'd end up with 4 picks for the season

Clones?

Injuries / Suspensions?

Trades?

My team is drafted and in!

Sorry guys for seeming to disappear, I had some life issues that left me uninterested with Whatifsports among other things!
