OT: Rangers Soduku

[Thirty One]

What's the best answer? Use all digits 0-9, with no repeats.

I've got:
J. Tanner Miller (47) - Jean Ratelle (19) - Jaromir Jagr (68)
Brian Leetch (2) - Barry Beck (5)
Henrik Lundqvist (30)

The secret to this game is that 1 player has to be 10 20 or 30. This is true for a lot of teams probably, but definitely for the Rangers. From there exactly two players can have two-digit numbers. So in the end three of your players have to have a one-digit number, which really narrows your choices.

Here's a version where all players are in their primes:

Luc Robitaille (20) - Phil Esposito (5) - Jaromir Jagr (68)
Bill Gadsby (4) - Tim Horton (3)
Jacques Plante (1)

You don’t have 7. You need to replace Bill Gadsby with Joel Bouchard.

also missing 9...needs to replace both dmen with Matt Gilroy (97) and Jason strudwick (34)

 

[Adam Fox Time]

Oops, I made a mistake even after writing those rules. Here's an alternate version.

Esa Tikkanen (10) - Phil Esposito (5) - Alex Kovalev (27)
Doug Harvey (2) - Tim Horton (3)
Terry Sawchuk (30)

Another challenge is that you want to make the single-digit numbers >= 5 if possible because once you get above the 30s it starts it get challening to find good players. There aren't many players like Jagr. Also working with #7 is really difficult if you don't just make Rod Gilbert your RW.

I think Lafreniere should pick #17.

Edit: You're right, I messed up again. It's actually 4 players that get double digit numbers and two players that single digit numbers.

So...

Adam Graves (9) - Phil Esposito (5) - Guy Lafleur (10)
Doug Harvey (2) - Dan Girardi (46)
Terry Sawchuk (30)

Noo, I forgot the 7 again. And I have two zeroes... Ok, here we go.

Esa Tikkanen (10) - Bernie Nicholls (9) - Kaapo Kakko (24)
Brady Skjei (76) - Jacob Trouba (8)
Mike Richter (35)

Yes, I did it!!

Dream pairing. Gives you a little bit of everything.

1. You are flouting the rules.
2. You are going to make me explode picking a #2 but not Brian Leetch and a #30 but not Henrik Lundqvist.

If you missed my edit mess, I did it!!

Esa Tikkanen (10) - Bernie Nicholls (9) - Kaapo Kakko (24)

That was so much more difficult than I thought. The hardest part is that there a lot of "defensemen numbers" and "goalie numbers" but you can only have 2 and 1 of those on your team.

It actually turned out to be a much more "Rangers" team than I had originally planned. My biggest goal was not having any joke players who played for only a few seasons.

 

[Adam Fox Time]

Tanner Glass (15) - P.J. Stock (20) - Donald Brashear (87)
Brad Brown (4) - Dylan McIlrath (6)
Dan Cloutier (39)

Now I'll critique you.

On both of your teams you have the handedness of defensemen incorrect. Barry Beck is left-handed and Brad Brown is right-handed. I have to admit that quirk is super annoying.

You can just replace Barry Beck with Dan Girardi on the first team and it is still super formidable and full of Rangers greats (+ Girardi, but he was really good at one time).

Keep in mind you're not getting Dale Purinton at his peak with #45.

I think Lafreniere should pick #17.

This is great because then we can actually keep Fast and have him change his number again.

I think he's going for some kind of record.
