[Nos - Sharks]

Silly! But fun. I think I'm at a disadvantage because of when I entered the league but I'll throw a vote Derrick's way. Solid team all around without many glaring holes. Sound fantasy hockey mind. I'm honoured to be on the list at all.

Oh, and I don't understand how Plekanec is a notable draftee but isn't a notable pick up for me!

[Mark - Bruins]

What? No Boston as a nominee? I'm outraged!

Since I can't vote for myself, I think it should go to Nos specifically because he took over a team he didn't draft and turned it into a playoff champion by making some HUGE deals and a few nice FA pickups.

He took over a team that was already money and had innate value. Even if he didnt like the team, he had the tools to shape it. The same cannot be said for everyone.

[Nos - Sharks]

Ha, not going to get into it but I would have drafted a better team than I received.
