Something fun for the offseason

[Forty_Sixand2]

Create a team (4 lines) based on the traditional line model, based on your team, historically:

-two scoring lines
-a stopper line
-a grinder line
-three defensive pairings that are balanced
-at least one legit fighter

Make it based on what the player did while on your team. For example, Jaromir Jagr and Larry Murphy do not make my Caps list because their success was more often on other teams.

For the Caps:

Ovechkin(A) - Backtrom - Bondra
Gartner(C) - Carpenter - Gustafsson
K. Miller - Halpern - Konowalchuk
Berube - Hunter - Clark

Johnasson(A) - Langway
Green - Stevens
Iafrate - Witt

Kolzig
Beaupre

Sedin - Sedin - Bure
Naslund - Bertuzzi - A Boudrias
Tanti - Gradin - Linden
Odjick - Tiger Williams - Smyl

G Butcher - D Kearns

Luongo - K McLean

All those Russians and no Alexander Yakishev?!?

 

[Automattic]

I think Ivan Drago is the only name missing...

 

[BOSSMANPC]

The Miller Hey he won the division with a bunch of scrubs so I'm betting he can score and fight too.

I struggled with this as the Pens historically haven't been known much for their stoppers and grinders, but here goes. I also kept players from the same era as much together for chemistry sakes:

Lemieux - Francis - Jagr
Pronovost - Syl Apps - Kehoe
Kevin Stevens - Larouche - Recchi
Troy Loney - Ron Schock - Caufield

Murphy - Carlyle
Coffey - Burrows
Ulf Samuelsson - Kasparaitis

Barrasso
Binkley

I went with Loney over Kelly due to his longevity and being a fan favorite...
