Best WORST Post 2000 Team You Can Make With Players That Played On Your Team

[NVious]

Got this idea from Mr.Misunderstood, put together the WORST possible lineup you can, only stipulation is the player must've played over 41 games for the team (otherwise it's too plug who played 1 game centric)

I am concerned about damaging my mental health if I try this exercise.

Edit: ok I’ll take a shot. After I’m done with the shot I will make an attempt at this.

Ryan Bayda - Drayson Bowman - Troy Bodie
Tom Kostopoulos - Mike Zigomanis - Tommy Westlund
Niklas Nordgren - Marty Murray - Phil Di Giuseppe
Kevin Westgarth - Jeff Daniels - Jesse Boulerice

This is way too easy as an Oilers fan.

 

[BigBadBruins7708]

CBJ. I tried to avoid currently playing folks where possible - so, for example, no Gabriel Carlsson on defense. I went in with a very strong idea of what the first line would be and developed it from there.

Alexandre Picard - Geoff Platt - Nikita Filatov
Mark Hartigan - Chris Nielsen - Mike Blunden
Colton Gillies - Michael Chaput - Corey Tropp
David Ling - Ryan Russell - Steven Goertzen
Matt Davidson, Jaroslav Balastik

Aaron Johnson - Cody Goloubef
Derrick Walser - Tim Erixon
Radim Bicanek - Ole-Kristian Tollefsen
Petteri Nummelin

Fredrik Norrena and I actually liked the guy
A Shooter Tutor because Pascal Leclaire is on LTIR

Has to be a games played threshold for this to be interesting

Alright. Sobotka and Leino. What do I win?

...there is one.

You expect people to read, on a message board?

 

[SomeDude]

Honestly curious to see if the pens have any players who could make this team that weren’t on the 2003-04 roster. I’ll take a closer look tonight.

 

[theaub]

Tried to do this where its a combination of being bad compared to expectations and also just being outright bad.

Theoren Fleury '03 - Michal Handzus '14 - Martin LaPointe '06
Kyle Calder '03 - Brett McLean '04 - Ville Niemenen '04
Andrew Brunette '12 - Curtis Brown '06 - Travis Moen '04
Brandon Bollig '14 - Ryan Carpenter '20 - Ryan VandenBusche '01

Boris Mironov '01 - Adrian Aucoin '07
Jake McCabe '22 - Steve Poapst '04
Alex Karpovtsev '04 - Kimmo Timonen '15

Marty Turco '11
Cristobal Huet '10

Greg Zanon was worse than Guenin or Vaananen for sure.

Some good shouts, but Betts surely not. Moore? Even the third line as a whole there is not a total disaster.
Staal???
Well, might try later but I think we can do a lot worse but would need to check games played

 

[IWantSakicAsMyGM]

Greg Zanon was worse than Guenin or Vaananen for sure.

Probably, but Zanon only played 44 games for the Avs, and only 1 season, which puts him more in the "single season plug" category, while Guenin played 173 games and Vaananen 136. And Zanon's beard while he played with the Avs earned him some extra credit.

Nate "The General" Guenin was a stalwart. How dare you

 

[treple13]

I'm going to make a roster trying to not just be 4th liners/3rd D. Maybe this is more the disappointing/underwhelming team (also as many big names as possible)

09 Bertuzzi - 23 Kadri - 11 Kotalik
19 Neal - 13 Cervenka - 07 Amonte
07 Friesen - 20 Jankowski - 18 Brouwer
21 Leivo - 07 Lundmark - 13 Jackman

10 Phaneuf - 14 Butler
16 Wideman - 09 Aucoin
07 Zyuzin - 18 Bartkowski

16 Hiller
02 Vernon

 

[Bizz]

not counting players who played less than 30 games:

Mikkel Boedker - Marcel Goc - Mark Bell
Oskar Lindblom - James Sheppard - Jannik Hansen
TJ Galiardi - Kyle Wellwood - Thomas Plihal
Adam Burish - V. Nieminen - Brad Winchester

C. Ehrhoff - Matt Benning
Colin White - K. Huskins
N. Wallin - Dan McGillis

Jonathan Ericsson - Andreas Lilja.

Hell world defensive pairing.

You could copy paste half of that lineup and call them the Leafs.

MB was the classic tools/tool box type of player. So skilled but couldn't put it together.
