Part of the reason the Maple Leafs are the logo for sports frustration is their inability to see the forest for the trees.

What if you had a guy who was capable of:

20-25 goals a year
Played hockey like "A clumsy puppy chasing a ball" (endless stamina)
Skated like the wind
Killed penalties
Added toughness
Was so popular that THEY WROTE A SONG ABOUT HIM THAT TOPPED THE CHARTS IN CANADA FOR 3 MONTHS


Naturally, the Leafs cut his playing time and then traded him, where he then resumed his career, just as good as when they used to play him.
A recurring theme in the Ballard years, but also one they've stuck with in recent times.

Kessel? Fat, hot dog eating son of a bitch. Get him out of here! (Wins cups in Pittsburgh)
Larry Murphy? What a loving cancer. Ship him off for a song! (Wins 2 cups in Detroit)
Alexander Steen? A nice piece, but ship him to St. Louis. He's too soft to ever be on a Cup winning team. (St. Louis sends their love)
Kadri!!! You've hosed our playoff chances for the last time. I hear Colorado will never be in playoffs again. HAS to be done. (whoops)

It's like a conga line of poo poo player evaluation. And I'm not even looking at the trades that were just comically bad, or the Ballard era.

Taxi pick!

I actually strongly considered this guy instead of Federko, but he kinda scrubbed out in the NHL.

Letterkenny selects the greatest player in WHA history C André Lacroix (1972-78)


79 goals and 119 assists for 198 points in 325 games in the NHL.
251 goals and 547 assists for 798 points in 551 games in the WHA.
Named to the WHA's First All-Star Team in 1973, 1974 and 1975.
Won the Bill Hunter Trophy as the WHA's leading scorer in 1973 and 1975.
Scored one hundred points or more in six consecutive seasons, a mark achieved by only six other major professional players.
The WHA's all-time leader in games played, assists (by nearly two hundred) and points (by over a hundred).
Fourth all-time in WHA history in goals scored.

He played in the 1974 Summit Series and had 7 points in 8 games. He should be all right to fill in, if needed.

My 3rd 5'8" centre, though.

Need a strong goaltender with a proven track record who can take on tough minutes in case Roy goes down to injury. Quebec will select one of the all-time great American goaltenders in John Vanbiesbrouck who was one of the league's best goaltenders from 1991-97, and probably the most substantial reason the Panthers were competitive right out of the gate.

Ottawa is going to need a good goalie to play behind them, and while this guy’s career maybe didn’t go the way the team wanted it to, he was nonetheless an absurdly good playoff goalie for a few years there.

HAHA! WOOOOOOO WOOO!
Fun Shoe
Wrapping up my team, we take Ben Bishop 2013-19, who had a pretty good peak before injuries got him. Could have had a nice later career.

We also take 6'7" Peter Worrell 1995-02. One of my favorites of the late 90s goons. I started in 95 because there are many stories of him beating the poo poo out of racist QMJHL parents/fans while in full gear before/during/after games. Not sure who the gently caress would have been stupid enough to start poo poo with Peter Worrell at any point, but I love that he was PPG and also had 460 PIMs in 60 games. Great junior career.

We also take Andy Sutton 2001-10. Really should not have been playing post-lockout. He was absolutely feared as a hitter and big rear end idiot. Just good enough to really gently caress guys up. Had a great pairing with Garnet Exelby, who is unfortunately too small for my team.

Finally, we break that one rule and take Sean Avery 2005-11. A supremely effective player, he was the best agitator I've ever seen. Only Matthew Barnaby can come close. Avery had a unique ability to tilt guys so hard that he changed the way the opposing teams played. I will unironically argue that he had as big an impact at times as having like Ovechkin on the off-wing. Guys just totally forgot about the game and started trying to even scores, take runs, etc. I'm actually going to move Lucic to the bench to play him because any game that turns into a physical/angry battle is one that my team is gonna win. Ideally, Avery can just tilt guys and then get them trying to play physical against Lindros/Pronger/Hatcher/Byfuglien/etc.

Avery-Otto-Simon
ex: Worrell, Lucic

Pronger-Chara
Hedman-Byfuglien
D. Hatcher-Marchment
ex: Sutton

Rinne
Bishop

HC: John Ferguson, Sr.

My gimmick is huge/mean guys. With the addition of Avery, my goal is basically to get the game into a slogged physical battle, then intimidate the poo poo out of the enemy team. I don't know if my team is the best, but I 100% think that it's the team that the rest of the teams would least want to play. My team would definitely be best under the 93-2004 rules/meta. My lines ended up being:

6'4" - 6'4" - 6'3"
6'3" - 6'3" - 6'3"
6'5" - 6'4" - 6'6"
5'10" - 6'4" - 6'3"
