Thanks to everyone for voting in the 2018-2019 Debut Year Teams Polls. We have the team selected for that year, today we move onto the 2017-2018 polls and see the selection of the 1st line LW, C and RW. Also I know there was some discussion about the positions of the players but I decided players based upon the position listed for them on hockey reference.com.
The purpose of these polls is to select a debut year team of 12 forwards, 6 defenseman, 2 goalies and a coach for each season between 1995-1996 and 2018-2019 which would be 24 in total. At the end of the team selection polls those 24 teams will be put into a 24 team 6 group round robin similar to the current Euros tournament in soccer (football).
Info for all these players can be found at:

In this poll I voted for Jesper Bratt, on tap to be added in the next poll is Warren Foegele. Let me know if you wish to see someone added.
The NHL embracing sports gambling was a major mistake
