Hank Moody Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 Lets say, like the CHL, NHL teams were comprised of local talent (for the most part). For example, the Vancouver Giants are mainly comprised of players from the Vancouver area. Who would you think would have the best NHL teams, then? Now I know there are Europeans in the fold as well, so let's say that the NHL is not restricted to North America, but rather worldwide. So, for example, you could make a team based purely on players from Ornskolwhatever (Sedins and Naslund birthplace) and the neighboring areas. Just be reasonable, don't pick all of Sweden and make a team lol. We can do all-time teams, present players, whatever. I think it would be fun. I'll start with a present British Columbia based team! Jamie Benn - Ryan Nugent Hopkins - Evander Kane Andrew Ladd - Ryan Johansen - Milan Lucic Troy Brouwer - Shane Horcoff - Brett Connolly Brandon McMillan - Kyle Turris - Colton Gillies Dan Hamhuis - Shea Weber Brent Seabrook - Willie Mitchell Jason Garrison - Karl Alzner Carey Price Jason Labarbera Pretty solid team, nicely rounded out... (PS, you can use this site to easily seperate all the birthplaces of current and old NHL'ers http://www.hockey-re...birthplaces.cgi) Just click on a specific area, then click on the "To" tab to organize them by their last year in the NHL (If it says 2013, they are still currently in the NHL. You can use players that are free agents as well, like Brendan Morrison). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghostsof1915 Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 How about we just adapt the CHL's affordable tickets, so that everyone can watch at game? And have a league where all the players give 110%? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TACIC Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 Then the league would suck. Imagine a team like the stars how bad they would be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
