The Detroit Red Wings went on to win the Stanley Cup going 16-2 in the playoffs completing their generational season. They had the most goals scored and least goals against on route to a 59-18-7 record.
They defeated Quebec in the 1994 SCF's which I'm taking full credit for their appearance as they were night and day a better team with Geoff Courtnall on their roster.
As for my Canucks, I am mildly satisfied with the season I just had and cautiously optimistic that my future is bright. Having Linden, Bure, Nedved, Demitra and Foote all on the same team and all under 25 is a special thing to have but it comes with a few concerns going forward.
1. Bure heading into his last year of contract
At 800,000 he is one of the best players to have in the game but only playing in 24 regular season games for me last year makes me wonder how much I'll have to pay him next offseason. For one, it will be more than 800,000 because of inflation but also his above point per game production rate is bittersweet. If he would to get injured more in the future it would prove to be a bad contract and I don't want to be over paying him.
2. Goaltending situation could get ugly
Kirk McLean is a folk lour hero in real life for the Vancouver Canucks but Kay Whitmore is proving to be way better bang for my buck. McLean posted a 26-29-8 record this year with a 3.16 GAA. In comparison, Whitmore was 9-7-1 this year with a 2.82 GAA. Whitmore's stats are slightly better but is it that much better to listen to offers for Mclean? He is making 745,000 while Whitmore is making 105,000
3. The Draft
I'm picking 13th in this years draft and I'm anxious to build my farm system back up after trading four prospects in the Demitra trade. Their a half a dozen franchise players in the 1994 draft but I think they will all be taken before pick 13. Will be also curious to see how fast the goalies go.
Here is what the draft should have been basked on stats:
