Hey guys, so I have an idea here. Let's make it somewhat of a competition. You must assemble your best team possible out of all of the players in the NHL. Sound easy? Well you must follow these rules:
1) NHL roster rules apply - 12 forwards, 6 defenseman, 1 utility player (either an extra forward or defenseman) and 2 goalies.
2) You MUST NOT go over the current NHL cap. The current cap is 56.8 million dollars. All salaries are to be based off of the 09/10 season, meaning guys like Toews and Kane are still in entry level contracts. If you need to check any player's salary, a great site is http://www.nhlnumbers.com/
3). Everyone has a stacked team if they include all rookies who are still making entry level deals. Therefore, you can ONLY have a maximum of 3 players still in their entry level contract.
4) Will you focus on a more defensively minded team, or will it be all offense all the time. Be creative, and show how smart you are.
5) Have fun with it. If anything, this should show us just how tough an NHL roster is to assemble.
When you post your team, please make the format as such:
quote:
RW (salary) - C (salary) - LW (salary)
RW (salary) - C (salary) - LW (salary)
RW (salary) - C (salary) - LW (salary)
RW (salary) - C (salary) - LW (salary)
D (salary) - D (salary)
D (salary) - D (salary)
D (salary) - D (salary)
Utility (salary)
Goalie (salary)
Goalie (salary)
Let's see who can assemble the best team of us all.

Here is my team. It fits the style of play I like to not only play, but it is a good mix of everything I think it would take to win the Cup.
quote:
Ovechkin (9) - Toews (0.850) - Kane - (0.875)
Parise (3) - Richards (5.6) - Iginla (7)
Carcillo (0.938) - Callahan (2.2) - Langenbrunner (2.8)
Lucic (0.685) - Malholtra (0.700) - Laperriere (1.3)
Byfuglien (3)
Salary = 37.95
Seabrook (3.5) - Keith (1.9)
Sopel (2.5) - Regehr (3.5)
D. Murray (2.5) - Gorges (1)
= 14.9 mil
Hiller (1.3)
Garon (1.2)
= 2.5
Total Salary = 55.35 mil
Total Cap Space = 1.45 mil
This team delivers the exact type of team I would love to not only play with, but watch. They are hard-hitting, fast, rugged, defensively sound, have scoring prowess, are strong down the middle, I mean they are everything.
My three entry-level guys are Lucic, Kane, and Toews. But I just absolutely love this team. My top line are skilled, fast and can score, yet have the creativity and work ethic to make plays happen. They are the line that, if a goal is needed, they will get that goal.
The 2nd line is a tough as nails line, with the ability to put the biscuit in the net. They are great 2-way players as well, so I can see this line scoring as well as shutting down the opposition.
The 3rd line is absolutely killer. This line wins games. Carcillo is the spark, and Langenbrunner and Callahan is the fuse. Ryan Callahan is my 3rd favourite player in the NHL, and in my opinion the most underrated by far. This guy is a beat defensively, yet has the hands and the ability to a playmaker or scorer. He is Mike Richards 2.0. Langenbrunner is a good 2 way guy, and Carcillo is just a pest. He will get under your skin and prevent you from playing your game. It is just an unstoppable - and underrated - line.
My fourth line is another shutdown line is another line who will get down and dirty. Laperriere and Lucic are beasts, and they will check and grind you to a pulp. They block shots, force turnovers, and win games. Big Time.
In fact, most of my team here has a huge physical component to it. Richards, Callahan, Langenbrunner, Iginla and Malholtra are all solid 2 way forwards. This team is good at winning faceoffs, and can easily handle any and all situations.
The defense is not flashy, but they get the job done. Seabrook, Keith, and Sopel are all amazing, as evidenced by the playoffs this year. Little things done by Douglas Murray, Robin Regehr and Josh Gorges will be the difference though. And, if need be, Dustin Byfuglien can play as either a 13th forward or a 7th defenseman.
In net, it is all about consistency and skill. Hiller can make the big save if need be, but most of all, his consistency is umatched. Garon has been good on occasion, and he would be a very suitable backup. With that team in front of them, they will easily be counted on to just not lose games.
So that is my team, and I think it is pretty great. Think you can top it?
Well let's see. |

Thank you sir, you are correct. I forgot to take into account Rinne because he was a goaltender, and because he is 26. It was my error, so thank you for helping me to correct it,
My team is now complient with both the rules and the cap. |

Pasty
i just realized my entire team in Canadian hahaha not intentional waht so ever,, all 4 of my forward lines do everything they score they hit and they play a north south game with the exception of Cammalleri, they all have proven themselves clutch in playoffs and or tournoment play and well kosto will take a beating for anyone on the team ,, i do think Boynton is a mistake though how could his cap hit be only .210 anyway i took him but i think it must be a typo.... my d is perfect my goaltending is suspect but im betting on steve mason developping into a stud and Garon being imo one of the top back ups in the league,,, imo this team beats what leafs fan and flying v have put together in a 7 games series

Actually, you guys both read the website incorrectly. You don't look at the cap hit column (the one in grey), you look at the column titled 09/10 salary, because that is the amount to be made. The cap hit column is to show how much a team played a specific player for that year (eg Demers was only on the team for 99 days, so he was only paid 99 days worth of his NHL contract, which is .200. His actual salary is .523 mil.
So both you and Pasty have teams which would be over the cap. |

Surprised you'd take Carcillo on a playoff team... your roster seems pretty good past this guy, but honestly, I don't think he's a gamer when it's all on the line.
I don't love your goaltending, but then again, look who's backstopping these finals while Brodeur, Luongo, Fleury and Nabokov all made early exits... maybe this spells the beginning of the end for the "build from the net out" mentality? |

just weighing in on current teams since i'm way too lazy to make one myself.
Jumbo and Guest are both over the cap and probably should redo their rosters, which leaves leafsfan,pasty and flying v.
In my opinion all three teams are pretty even up front, with leafsfan maybe earning a slight advantage cuz of ovechkin.
on the back end, i think patsy and flying v both have put together bluelines with v maybe getting the advantage just cuz of niedemeyer.
in goal i give the advantage hands down to flying v, with the leagues best goaliw along with a solid up and comer in hiller.
so all-around i think i'll give edge to flying,with leafsfan putting up the second best roster and pasty a close third.
just my 2 cents |

I meant that you are over because you had read the salaries wrong. Jason Demers' salary is .523 mil, not .200 mil. You also have Jody Shelly's contract incorrect. Duncan Keith should be 1.9 mil, and Lapierre should be at .800.
That is how you are over the cap, it isnt your fault, you just read the players salaries incorrectly. |

Well, here is my 09/10 team, as per rules above (I hope!):
Ovechkin (9) Crosby (9) Kane (0.875) = 18.875
Parise (3) Stamkos (0.875) Byfuglien (3) = 6.875
Burrows (2) Pavelski (1.725) Dustin Brown( 2.45) = 6.175
Glencross (1.2) Belanger(1.75) Laperriere(1.3) = 4.25
Doughty(0.875) Keith(1.9) = 2.77
Douglas Murray (2.5) Giordano (1) = 3.5
Smid(1.3) Gorges(1) = 2.3
Strudwick (0.7)
Halak(0.85) Harding (1.1) = 1.95
Total Salary = $47.4mil
Now, next year, once all the extensions kick in, I would be in trouble, since I would only have $9.4mil to hand out. Other than that, I think I have a pretty good team, and could afford upgrades in any positions if salaries stayed the same. |

well now this is a good one but no team really only carries that 19 skaters so its more three goalies seven d and 14 forwards so try that it might be more difficult but more realistic
Kovalchuk 6.4 Backstrom 2.4 Kessel 5.4
Parise 3.1 Toews 2.8 Nash 5.4
Afinogenov .8 Laich 2.1 Ladd 1.6
Ott 1.4 Kesler 1.8 Fiddler 1.1
Rypien .6 Chipchura .5
35.4M
Volchenkov 2.5 Smid 1.3
Giordano .9 Robidas 1.5
Keith 1.5 Green 5.3
Foster .6
13.6M
Rask 3.2
Anderson 1,8
Niittymakki .6
5.6M
Total 54.6 Million
no one else noticed Rask had better numbers that miller hmmm...or that backstrom arrived and the caps suddenly became a playoff team maybe he helped ovechkin succeed top four in socring doesnt happen just because you paly with ovechkin i mean look at mike knuble he had an alright year but he didnt have 100+ points
And polish express that is not quite true as the cap hit for your rookies is much higher than your thing states because stamkos and kane are 3.7ish and doughty is 3.5 so not so far from the cap more like half a million to hand out next year
bring back the franchise player or the team will leave like the last one |

uhh its because we are not useing the cap hit we are useing the salary for 09 or 10 for example nash`s cap hit 09 10 is actually 7 not 5.4 i made that same mistake

Here goes, I think I did it right:
Forwards (35.865M)
L. Eriksson (1.7) - S. Crosby (8.7) - P. Kane (0.875)
R. Bourque (1.4) - J. Toews (0.850) - D. Byfuglien (3)
T. Holmstrom (2.25) - S. Stamkos (3.725) - M. St Louis (4)
A. Ladd (1.65) - J. Staal (4) - M. Knuble (2.8)
B. Eager (0.965)
Defense (15.225M)
D. Keith (1.9) - B. Seabrook (3.5)
D. Doughty (0.875) - Volchenkov (3.2)
T. Poti (3.5) - H. Gill (2.25)
Goalies (2.35M)
T. Rask (0.850)
C. Anderson (1.5)
So, assuming I followed the rules right and didn't bugger my math I have a total salary of 53.44M
The arena wall in chicago should be credited with a goal. |

i dont quite understand all of it but the jist is if you take say ilya kovalchuk his cap hip is not representative of his actual salary since his cap hit is extremly low because he has only been a devil for a quarter of the season i think

but that is total hit the salary is the payment that year but salary would be different
they use an average of the value of contract over the term i believe not like other leagues which use the salary you make that year so your cap hit will either go up or down after each year where the nhl just uses the average it is the answer to those front loaded deals
bring back the franchise player or the team will leave like the last one |

I did it this way so that it is based off of their contract for the entire year, as opposed to only a portion. This way it is more fair, and more accurate.
Pasty got it right, and if you look at the Thrashers salary page they would still have Ilya Kovalchuk listed on their cap hit, since they did pay him to start the year. He will be greyed out though. |

D. Doughty (0.875) - Volchenkov (3.2)
T. Poti (3.5) - H. Gill (2.25)
Goalies (2.35M)
T. Rask (0.850)
C. Anderson (1.5)
So, assuming I followed the rules right and didn't bugger my math I have a total salary of 53.44M
The arena wall in chicago should be credited with a goal.
pretty sure the rules were 3 entrly level players, not five. stamkos makes .875 per year
Its not worth winning if you cant win big! |

Fixed. I think.

Team Irvine
- - - - - - - - - -
Forwards:
Martin St. Luis (5.250) - Sidney Crosby (8.7) - Rich Nash (5.4)
Patrick Kane (3.725) - Jonathon Toews (2.8) - Wojek Wolski (2.8)
M. Afinaganov (0.800) - Nicklas Backstrom (2.4) - Ville Leino (0.531)
Todd Bertuzzi (1.5) - Ian Laperriere (1.167) - Jussi Jokinen (1.7)
4 Forward lines combined = $36.773
Defense:
Duncan Keith (1.475) - Drew Doughty (3.475)
Zbynek Michalek (1.250) - Tyler Myers (1.300)
PK Subban (0.875) - Niklas Hjalmarsson (0.643)
Defense Total: $9.018
Starting Goalie: Ryan Miller (6.250)
Backup Goalie: Jonas Hiller (1.300)
Goalie Total: $7.550
Total: 53.341
*** NOTICE: I used ACTUAL Cap Hits for each players contracts. Not their salary for the year. This includes guys under entry level deals, driving their Cap Hit much higher (with the new deal they signed). Example: Toews & Kane. Thus nullifying them as rookies for me. Also, some D are not under entry-level deals, they just make low salaries.
Also, I'm sure I could fix up the back end and forwards a little bit, with some more research. So, I may edit this at a later date when I have more time.

irvine those arent with extensions the cap hit is so high because of bonus based on performance and draft position hence kane made 3.7 not .875 and not 6 million
bring back the franchise player or the team will leave like the last one |

Pasty, your goalies are your weak spot. Steve Mason is an unproven talent, and although this year, the fianlists' goalies were Niemi and Leighton/Boucher, this is not EA's NHL10 where a high potential in Mason will eventually pay dividends.
Yes, I know Mason has a better than .900 save percentage over 2 years and in 119 games in the NHL, and I don't think he is a bad goalie, but I think that if you have mason as your starter, get a better goalie than Garon to backup, then I would stand behind your team(I have the same problem with Halak/Harding). Maybe you could use a better second line left wing than Bill Guerin.
My top 3 lines beat your top 3 hands down: i have the league's best in Crosby and Ovechkin, the cup winning scorer in Kane, one of the youngest ever to score 50 in Stamkos, a player oft overlooked in Parise(way better that your 2nd line winger, Guerin) Byfuglien who displayed his physical play in the finals, and then a second line center on any other team in Pavelski, a great pk guy in Burrows(not to mention annoying), and LA kings captain Dustin Brown. And I could still afford Toews.
I think the best team is Irvine's.... rock solid goaltending, experience and youth in d, as well as prolific scoring 2 lines, 2nd line quality on the third, and 3rd line quality on the 4th.
Your d is better than mine though, pasty. So do not declare |

I think my team would beat anyone's here, just because of the two-way players I have. And I can score, while having one of the most stingiest and toughest defenses to beat.
Irvine's team is good, but I think mine could easily take his. After his top 6 the rest kinds fizzle out. I mean, Maxim Afinogenov had a nice bounce back year, and Ville Leino suprised a lot of people in the playoffs, but I wouldn't put scorers, and mediocre scorers, on my 3rd line. The 4th line lacks any definition, and Big Bert is older and definitely benefited this year from playing top 6 minutes. But if that 4th line is set to take on defensive roles, apart from Laperriere, yikes!
Mine will take any team here, without question! |

Since when is Nicklas Backstrom(Caps Center) a "mediocre" scorer? He is simply overlooked or dismissed because of playing with Ovechkin, and yes, it pads his stats, but he is still a first line centre on many teams.
But realistically, Leafsfan, if you were to put together such an offensively gifted group as Irvine listed, when would you be worried about defensive roles? Toews is one of the best in that dept., as is Crosby. You could always grab a player like you did with Malhotra instead of Betuzzi.
Have to say, though, I love your d, leafsan, except for Regehr. I think you can get some cheaper, younger alternatives with similar abilties for under 3.5mil.
Plus, leafsfan, your team would dissolve immediately, as you would not be able to sign Kane, Toews, and Lucic to deals with the cap space you had left.
In 7 games, though, I agree with you that your team would probably win. |

Besides Backstrom, of course, but realistically a team should not be focused on having a scoring 3rd line. That is why I don't think the team would work there. You do want some scoring, but defense should come first. The team I created, however, is both solid defensively and offensively, which means that I get what a 3rd line should be PLUS secondary scoring.
If I was trying to build a team for the future, however, this would be a much different tam. You are correct that this team would dissolve very quickly. I made this team as a one time thing, I didn't plan to build a long lasting team for this game.
But in one season, or in the playoffs, this team would beat any team and capture a Cup. |

I'd also like you to remember, that I included all bonuses for players, etc... making salaries much, much higher on guys like Toews, Kane, etc...
If I removed bonuses and all other factors in the salaries, like most of you did, i'd have 10-12 Million dollars in freed up salary. I could fill any holes I needed to, come trade deadline.
As for being defensive on the 3rd/4th lines... i'll take sub-par defensive players, with a couple of guys who play a good defensive game, that score like 2nd line players on both 3 and 4 line slots.
Also, Bertuzzi, Lapierre, Jokinen & Leino all play pretty solid two-way games. The only two who lack, are Backstrom & Afinagenov. But, i'll take the added offense they are going to create, with 4 other guys who can cover the back side of things for them.
Tons of extra offense on 3/4, with enough guys for the defensive side.
