What's Your DREAM TEAM?

[Robin Hood]

Which 20-Man roster would you ice going into the 2010-2011 season? You must follow the following guidelines:

1) The team you choose is for the real NHL. I.e. which team would you ice to win the Stanley Cup. So if you want to use Steve Mason as a back-up to Martin Brodeur, that is fine.
2) You may choose any player from any team, as long as that player has a contract.
3) You must be cap compliant (under $59.4M)

Cap space for playoff push/pickup at end of season, go easy on Hiller's load throughout the season. Should be impossible to score against or get any real forecheck against, serious sniper power, should play a relatively high space game, run a left wing torpedo for lines 1 & 3 , insane high pressure fore-check on 2 & 4. Avoid odd-man rushes, either way, don't need them. Richards handles all top lines, especially softer top lines where the game might get a little rought After the first line the plan is to be hard to play against, finish checks hard, smart puck location and keep the pace high.

Coach is Pat Quinn.

I see you have Demers in the third pair? I am betting he will be paired with Vlasic on 2nd. This guy is going to have one hell of a season. This is his breakout party coming up!

As a Sharks fan, yes, I hope you're right. Just with Doug Wilson and McLellan this is what I expect to see ...
