OT: Create a Line-up with 35 million

[Anglesmith]

Why wouldn't you have just kept Gio for the extra .02 milli? Still would have been under the cap. I suppose it's not really my place to say; maybe you like Josi better.. anyways, this is way harder than it looks, 35 mil is not a lot of room to be creative with, especially with only one ELC.

He wanted Backs and Brodes, that's why.

Ahh, maximum two players from one team. Riiight.

I had Gio, but you can only have 2 players per team. I picked Brodie and, Backlund. If it was 3 I'd put Gio back in.

EDIT: What he said.

 

[kirant]

Hopefully this is right.

I even managed to sneak Toews in there .

I really like my lineup. The top 6 actually has top 6 players, the middle has a lot of meat with good offense on it too, the bottom line is a very defensive line. Extra skater is a utility/team guy in Gionta (the not-so-good one).

Defense has 3 top pairing D in the top 4, DeKeyser's a solid middle guy with a ton of upside, Bottom pair is a hulk with an offensive Dman; pp specialist. Extra D is a middle pair guy who's actually pretty underrated (probably for being the worse of the two dudes named Benn on the team).

NHL all-star type goalie starting, and a very solid backup.

Hard mode: you must use David Clarkson, Alex Semin or Brooks Orpik.

 

[CraigsList]

I'll try doing hard mode.. This time I won't cheat .. forgot about the 2 players max from my previous one.

 

[Volica]

I think this would be a bit more interesting moving up to 45 million, with 35 you're mostly just taking bargain bin contracts.

 

[Ace Rimmer]

Hard mode: you must use David Clarkson, Alex Semin or Brooks Orpik.

Only if I can buy out their contracts.

 

[Backlund]

Hard mode: you must use David Clarkson, Alex Semin or Brooks Orpik.

I was able to fit all three.

With Bob Hartley as coach that lineup might actually do ok.

You cheated, It was supposed to be a 22 man roster

Not a flames fan, but i was cruising through and thought i'd have an attempt used the ELC on MacKinnon and tried to pick players with good character and two way play. I think it'd be a playoff team for sure.
