Ideally as a new draftee  I would be taken by an expansion team and this is why. When you are joining a established franchise you arrive with very little expectation.  They already have their star players, established lines and you will need to wait your turn before you can get a proper slot in their lineup.  With a expansion team you will need to push yourself and fight for a spot in a lineup, and while the team might not succeed in the first couple seasons it creates a team dynamic and every team will envy and leads to success in the future.  Hockey is not a single player sport like Baseball or Basketball.  Instead it puts a ton more emphasis on team play and teamwork.  As a result having a incredibly tight nit group of guys who play their hearts out every game provides infinitely more value than a city with perhaps a worse hockey culture.  In conclusion while I will be thrilled to be taken by any team I feel that perhaps being taken by a expansion team might provide myself with more opportunities than I would have otherwise gotten.
