Can you say Rookie? Its really the only word to really describe what went down today. Early this morning, after GM Khoo submitted the list of players taken in the Expansion Draft, a collective dropping of jaws was seen across the league. "What can I say?" Khoo was quoted as saying. "I misinterpreted the rules and should have gotten clarification from the league before making an idiot of myself. My bad."
Shortly after the list came out, YDP GM Howard Wong was seen quickly making a phone call saying something along the lines of "What are you doing? You're embarrassing me here." The two were later seen running a joint practice session between the Mind Melds and the Penetrators at an undisclosed location in Edmonton. Early speculation was that there was a trade imminent but it was quickly shot down by both parties.Khoo was granted a reprieve by RHL chief Paul Myers and had a chance to resubmit the list later in the day since none of the paperwork had been processed. A huge *SIGH* could be heard by the Trekker faithful as they wanted no part of anyone named Bure since it resembled the name of character that worked on DS9 that later turned out to be a traitor.
A formal announcement of results from the Expansion draft is expected in the next few days.

Gotta love that picture :), I'm glad everything worked out. Lucky for both of us that you were online and I had the day off. Neither of us needed to be embarrassed by the initial submission :) I wrote in my blog last night and you were mentioned too :D
Don't know how to interpret your comment dude, but basically there was a couple of things:
1) I received the demands Monday evening.
2) According the rules I thought that rated players stay rated as long as they have a contract in the RHL, regardless of if they are in the NHL or not.
3) I did not, and still don't know, the exact amoung of money I'll start with.
What this resulted in me making decisions based on my understanding of rated players back then... and so I ended up picking many unrated players.
Again, sorry for the mix-up.
Richard, basically Victor made his selections based on the RHL16 ratings instead of the RHL17 ratings.
Hey, it's only been 10 days since my last post. Not bad, considering my track record. ;)
I'm just not as creative as all you JK Rowlings out there (sorry, bad example, but anyone who's a trekker has gotta love Harry Potter!).
BTW, love the photo...
