Can my team of leftover UFAs beat ATL, Toronto, Isles, LA?

Question

This is my team of leftover UFAs...... It does not include Sakic, Selanne, Chelios, Forsberg or any other UFA that either plays with last years team or retires! It doesnt include anyone (that I know of) that signed overseas, or retired. And no RFAs!

ForwardLines:

Shanahan-Sundin-Murray

Parrish-Smolinski-Nagy

Isbister-Perrault-S.Thornton

Lapointe-Rucchin-Yelle

(scratches-Hlavac,Jeff Hamilton)

Defenseman:

Westcott-Carney-Brisebois-Ozolinsh-Hed...

(scratches- Pratt)

Goalies:

Aubin- Holmqvist

Any other teams you feel they could beat?

Answer 1

Hedican is retiring....

But Kings, Isles, Leafs and Thrashers... Possibly the Panthers too. But they'll get scored on a lot.

Answer 2

Your team would lose.  Many of the players listed are slow and over the hill.  They can not compete in the faster NHL which is today's game.  Sundin still has some skill, but would need some faster wingers than the over-rated slug Murray and an aged Shanahan.  I'd take young talent over the older unsigned guys.  Even though the teams you listed are at the bottom of the pack, they have more speed, better playmakers, and stronger defensemen.

If your team played each of those 4 NHL teams 3 times, I'd say your team of NHL's wins 1 game in each 3 game series.  

Answer 3

Good work.  I would say they could beat a few more team than just those 4 teams.....I mean, there are a few good ones on there.

Answer 4

S**t...your local bantam team could beat the Leafs

Answer 5

nagy signed in europe

Answer 6

Kovalchuk would rip apart Aubin or Holmqvist... Atlanta is better

Kovalchuk, Williams, Lethonen, Kozlov, Armstrong, Enstrom, Hainsey,

Answer 7

You done good.  I'm not sure if Meszaros is an UFA or an RFA but I'd substitute Meszaros for Hedican. Also, if Esche is available I'd pick him up instead of Aubin. He may have some minor issues but he'll get you some SO's and he plays a wicked, wicked guitar.

Answer 8

All my money's on you.

Answer 9

Add Florida to the list.  I agree w/Jeff

Answer 10

some how no.  Too weak in goal and on defense, but it would be a depressingly close game.  Add in Sakic, Forsberg, and selanne and the offense might be able to out weigh the awful back end.
