Description

Created by @Ricochetii

Select one player from each team.

When finished:
You must be within $1M of the cap.
You may have no more than 2 forwards on ELC's.
You may have no more than 2 defense on ELC's.
You must have a full 23 man roster including scratches.
Move the remainder of your selections to LTIR (not on final roster).
Set lines and defense pairings.

This is intended to be done in one sweep. Start with any team and make selections alphabetically by team. If there are players you have in mind for later, you may want to pick lesser players from earlier teams.
Mistakes are okay, but don't redo your selections. You'll set your roster from the players you selected and sacrificing some of your picks while making final choices is part of the exercise.
(Think of it like having a 32 player training camp and making final cuts. As you can see, I made a number of selections I had to cut and send to LTIR to be compliant).

Theodore over Sergachev and Joseph over Whitecloud could work

Agreed, but I was doing this in alphabetical team order, so TBL came before VGK. At that point, I didn't have the room for Theodore. And I think Whitecloud + Sergachev is stronger on this specific roster than Theodore + Joseph when there is already so much talent there. Sergachev also knows how to play behind other defenseman in Hedman and McDonagh, etc. So on a team with a lot of number 1 guys, he should be able to fit in easier I would think. And I like having good defensive reserves in Lauzon + Whitecloud at my disposal.

You've got a solid team too, probably better than mine. Getting Hellebuyck to fit with that top 9 and defense make this a tough team to beat.

it wasn't until I got to SJS or so that I realize I hadn't selected Saros, instead I picked Ekholm. So I had no goalies going into the last few teams... I had planned on using Vanecek as my backup from the beginning, but Hellebuyck kinda just worked out accidentally lol

Probably could have done better on the wings, but can't argue with that support through the middle.

I'm getting I should have went with Fox as well. Didn't Even consider him at the time. I was looking for a partner for Chychrun and should have been looking for a partner for Fox instead.

I also like that you got "stuck with" Hellebuyck. Part of what makes it interesting is when options dwindle and you have to make those final decisions.
