This is a fantastic article about the *really* early days of the league - was fascinated to learn some of these details!
I think there is a bit of glossing over what was truly a good Chicago Coyotes team in terms of users, we just did not get it done on the field - bovovovo was obviously a presence in the league before hand but myself, speculadora, and AzhekAhriman (who became a member of HO for a bit) were all new users on that team. Arguably the only other big-name new users from that class were SuperSquare04 (to Portland) and PaytonM34 (to Tijuana), so I'd call that a draft success for the Coyotes.
