A Twighlight Zone Hockey Question....?

Question

Bettman suddenly went on a huge power trip and snatched all of the power over the league away from the owners! His first edict as "Grand Poohbah" of the NHL is that every player revert back to the team that drafted them. All undrafted players will be redistributed through a lottery and draft.

Which teams look the best? Why?

Answer 1

The Isles would look ok, I mean Pilsbury decimated that teams young players.

Answer 2

I have to go with Ottawa because not only will they still have players like, Spezza, Alfredsson, Fisher, Meszaros, and Phillips. They will also be getting back guys like Havlat, Hossa, and Demitra.

Answer 3

The Pittsburgh Penguins would have a solid (albeit aging) squad: Jaromir Jagr, Michal Rosival, Martin Straka, Markus Naslund just to name a few.

By far, the New York Islanders would have a sick line-up. Wade Redden and Eric Brewer would join Bryan McCabe and Zedeno Chara in forming one of the better bluelines in the league. Goaltending would be a dogfight between Rick Dipietro and Roberto Luongo. That offense...Todd Bertuzzi taking passes from Tim Connolly (yep, not much on that end). All good teams need a solid defensive core and good goaltending. The reformatted Isles would have that.

Answer 4

Wings are still in good shape. they have that magic touch in the draft as we all know.

Answer 5

I agree with Ryan, the Wings still look good :)
