Who Would You Build Your Fantasy Hockey Team Around?

[Conor Mccreery]

Just a fun question:

You're in a computer simulation league that bases it's ratings on real life stats. The league has salary and FA so potentially you could keep a player as long as you could afford them - what player(s) would you want on your team sarting out.

For fun let's say not just stars but also some tier II guys.

Star wise I'd put forward

Jarome Iginla (of course)
Sergi Federov (I think he may be the best two way guy of all time - he's certainly close)
Jose Theodore
Chris Pronger
Niklas Lidstrom

Now here are some other names of guys I think you might be able to sneak in and grab who have bright futures (not all, but some)...

Martin Havlat
Michal Rosival
Josef Vasicek
JS Giguere
Bryan McCabe
Zdeno Chara
Jeff Jillson
Alyn McCauley
Kristian Kudroc
Ossi Vannanen
Tim Connolly
Marian Gaborik


Certainly not exhaustive but just to get it out there...

Thoughts?

I'd build my team around a goalie, no question. Theodore maybe, but CuJo would be the safest bet considering the defense in front of him... and Roy of course considering his consistency over the years.
