I'm turning this thread into a contest.

...whoever puts together the best 23-man roster that fits under the 2011/2012 salary cap (no impending UFA's/RFA's that are cheap now, i.e. Erik Karlsson at 1.3mil) wins.

Here's mine.

You just had to put together line combos for this thread, even though it has nothing to do with it.



I would choose a healthy Crosby over anyone, but as it stands now, I'd take Stamkos.

[Bannedforlife]

I bet that team would win a bunch of President's trophies.

lol, come on. lot of size on that team. 4th line of lucic-getzlaf-perry is big and mean. all the wingers, aside from giroux, are big (malkin's the next smallest at 6-3 205). weber, suter, doughty, keith and even letang are all gritty on defense too.

I know its fun to imagine a team full of superstars, but can you imagine the egos in that dressing room?

[DangleDangleBeach]

just for the hell of it... im making a team to play your "globetrotters" sorry to hijack your thread just seemed fun. i understand yours was merely on franchise players... but whatever you left off i used on my squad (whether you would start a team with them or not was not something i was worrying about.)

iginla-datsyuk-st louis
sedin-sedin-gaborik
zberg-staal-kane
benn-backstrom-b richards
seguin

chara-lidstrom
boyle-yandle
pietrangelo-myers
pronger (if alive)

rinne
miller


hossa, sharp, thornton, callahan, pavelski, mrichards, nug, hall, eberle, subban, kesler, hossa, eriksson, fleury, price all honorable indeed!

Someone put these two teams together in NHL 12 and see who wins.

I'm really not thinking into it that much. Just picking the best players under 30.

[ozone923]

Zetterberg. Win.

[irishock]

These All-Star lines won't work very well.



Bert-Pavel-Parise
Johan-Zetts-Filppula
Cleary-Helm-Miller
Homer-Abdel-Nyquist

Lidstrom-White
Kronwall-Suter
Ericsson-Quincey

Howard
MacDonald


This team wins the cup.

thats what i am talking about for an all-star game...over/under 25 years old. (or 24 years old)

i think that would put some kick in the "lame game"

kids bringin it...old guys wont stand for it.

talk about braggin rights.

[Crymson]

The payroll would probably approach $150m.

one of the best ideas i've ever heard on a message board.

thanks...i tried to contact Bob Mackenzie to get the idea circulating....but...i failed.

i think it would be a great new twist and give the game some life.
