The Perfect NHL Team

RoyceDa59 · Post #1 » by **RoyceDa59** » Mon Apr 28, 2008 7:00 am

Construct a 20 man team consisting of NHL players that would complete the perfect NHL team.

1st line: Ovechkin / Crosby / Iginla (sniper, playmaker, checker)
2nd line: Zetterberg / Datsyuk / Malkin (sniper, playmaker, size)
3rd line: Heatley / Lecavalier / St Louis (sniper, size, playmaker)
4th line: Stillman / M. Richards / Doan (playmaker, grinder, checker)

1st pair: Lidstrom / Chara (playmaker, size)
2nd pair: Pronger / Gonchar (size, playmaker)
3nd pair: Phaneuf / Niedermayer (size, playmaker)

Goalie 1: Martin Brodeur (Positional)
Goalie 2: Evgeni Nabokov (Athletic)

Coach: Jacques Lemaire (Tough defense)

Thoughts? What players do you think would come together to form the perfect NHL team?

Yeah I realize I left some pretty big names out. Yzerman, Kariya, Lemieux,Fedorov, Mogilny, Shanahan, the Beezer. Goes to show you how stacked the 90's were.

Umm guys, Wayne Gretzky? He played until 1999 and posted 4 seasons with more than 100 points in that decade; 142 in '90; 163 in '91; 121 in '92; and 130 in '94, with another 97 in '97. He may deserve a spot on the 90's team.

Who?

I left Gretzky off purposely. I tried to be a bit modest with my team.
But yeah, that guy was pretty good.
