Bring Back The Bruise Bros 1,029 Report post Posted August 6, 2010 Ok so its wicked late and I was thinking about what my "dream team" would look like. So here's a little challenge: Say the salary cap is $52 Million. Any free agents salaries must be reasonable. Come up with your "dream team", but the twist is to do so without any Wings players that are currently on the roster. I thought and thought and this is what I came up with: Forwards: Ryan Getzlaf-5M Ryan Kesler-5M Ryan Malone-4.5M Ryane Clowe-3.5M James Neal-3M Steve Downie-3M Mason Raymond-2.75M Brandon Dubinsky-1.85M Owen Nolan-1M B.J. Crombeen-675K Nate Thompson-625K Rick Rypien-525K Steve MacIntyre-500K Andrew Peters-500K Defensemen: Shea Weber-4.5M Brent Seabrook-4M Kent Huskins-1.7M Mark Giordano-850K Brendan Witt-500K Jim Vandermeer-500K Goaltenders: Cam Ward-3.5M Steve Mason-850K (I believe) Neal-Getzlaf-Malone Clowe-Kesler-Downie Raymond-Dubinsky-Nolan MacIntyre-Rypien-Crombeen Peters/Thompson S.Weber-Seabrook Giordano-Huskins Witt-Vandermeer C.Ward S.Mason According to my math (Not the most reliable) this team would be good under the cap. Give it a try! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Datsyerberger 279 Report post Posted August 6, 2010 Rather than try to cram as many young superstar players on short term bargain contracts as possible on here, I'm going to try to put together a team that's both long term realistic and built for winning a cup now. This means a mix of players both young and seasoned on solid contracts, maybe a couple more aging veterans, a couple young stars on short term contracts that'll be ready for payday once the current high paid vets retire.. you know, the way a real team could look. Screw the $52m cap by the way, that just encourages said single year bunch o' superstars on ELCs teams. Henrik Zetterberg - Pavel Datsyuk - Alexandre Burrows Johan Franzen - Ryan Getzlaf - Dustin Brown Nikolai Kulemin - Jay McClement - Mark Recchi Taylor Pyatt - Darren Helm - Cal Clutterbuck Rick Rypien Nicklas Lidstrom - Drew Doughty Niklas Kronwall - Anton Volchenkov Mike Weaver - PK Subban Jonathan Ericsson Jaroslav Halak Martin Biron Comes in at 58.675 @ a 22 man roster Built to be usable both for a cup run and a good future build. For example, the following year Lidstrom and Recchi come off the books and Doughty gets a payday Z - Dats - Burrows Mule - Getzlaf - Brown Kulemin - McClement - Pyatt - Helm - Clutterbuck Rypien Kronwall - Doughty Volchenkov - Subban Weaver - Ericsson Halak ~$1m backup goalie Assuming Rypien gets about 1m/yr and Doughty gets ~6, that still leaves about 3.5 to sign a backup dman or two and a solid 1 year rental for the 3rd line (or better, you move Clutterbuck up a line, play youngins on the 4th line and make a good deadline move with the spare capspace). The year after that isn't much different. Then one after that one a handful of big names get some pay upgrades, but by that point you have people ready to advance lines and prospects moving up. Still have the same core. Those top 2 lines would roll people, great roleplayers in the bottom 6, and the defense is beastly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
