7.) Probably Thompson.. Maybe throw some money at him
8.) I could see Kovalchuk being traded if we're not looking good by the TDL
9.) I think the expansion teams will be in the bottom 3 along with Davos. In the case of expansion its hard to get going right out of the gate with lower TPE. In Davos's case... its Davos
10.) Helsinki, Toronto, Riga
11.) Idk 42-26-4
12.) Kovalchuk, Frostbeard (He's a playmaker though) Or Myself.. Solely based on TPE
