Goalie is the one position where there wasn't a really clear choice, as the Avs haven't had anyone play 41 games who was truly horrible. Went with Pickard because he was the goalie of record for the majority of the 2016-17 dumpster fire.
And what's the problem with including Mitchell? He was a ~25 point depth forward who had some decent skills, but he frequently thought he was a superstar and would regularly trying to dangle through the opposition only to give the puck away. As a result, I'd rather stab myself in the eye with a rusty spoon than ever watch another Avs game with him in uniform.

2001-2006 had some real dandies on there.
Interesting to point that Craig Adams was so bad he couldn't even make the "best worst" roster.

Eh, I'd take him over someone who was a coaching favorite in Matt Ellis who didn't even make my list. I also didn't mind Mike Ryan or Brian Flynn in their roles as 14/15 guys who at least were fast. It's the filler who are just around, going through the motions like Pouliot or even Buffalo's version of Taylor Hall that really annoy me. Also, the 41-game cut off left some of the mid-2010's filler off because they didn't make the cut.
Allie Kitsune
...and the Brawla Brawla Sewitt
I have no idea how Mark "Junk" Jankowski didn't make that roster.
Or Josef Melichar.
Or Konstantin Koltsov.
Cloutier absolutely tanked any hope of the WCE competing for a cup. The style they played didn't help, but he put up an .868 in 02-03 which imo was their best chance.
It was also hard to find any truly bad goalies. As bad as Benning is at identifying NHL skaters, Burke was awful at getting goalies.

There are players that I omitted because they had one good season and one bad season, so I didn't feel like it was fair. OEL is a really good example of that, Martin too...both were good to great last season, and this year was a disaster.

Alright, that makes sense, but Pickard was still a good backup before that year. That team was also god awful in every aspect so I can't even blame him too much for that season.
Mitchell was a fine bottom 6 guy outside of that year too. In fact, one of the better players they had there even though that says more about the Avs team. He was frustrating at times but held his own as a 3C and then looked really good when he was a 4C.

Yeah, it's hard to blame Pickard for it, but that season also seemed to break him, and his career took a pretty bad nose dive afterwards.
And most of the guys on my list were ok bottom 6 guys. My issue with Mitchell was that he frequently got moved up the lineup, which is where he always had issues, kind of similar to JT Compher. Maybe if they hadn't tried to give him more opportunities, I wouldn't have so many negative memories of him giving away the puck at the blue line while he tried to dangle into the zone.

Habs, I used the NHL stats website to find the very worst "per game" players.
I respected sides for Ds
Forwards:
Darrent Langdon (who tf is this?) - Garth Murray - Mike Blunden
Juha Lind - Petteri Nokelainen - Georges Laraque
Tom Pyatt - Brian Flynn - Michael McCarron
Gino Odjick - Kyle Chipchura - Aaron Palushaj
Defense:
Douglas Murray (2013 edition) - Ryan O'Byrne
Janne Niinimaa (2005 edition) - Cale Fleury (Rookie edition)
Jarred Tinordi - Tom Gilbert
HM to Alzner, Mete and other useless LDs that were still less useless than the above
G:
That's tough. Only 10 have played > 41 games. 2 of them won Vezinas, 2 more were Huet and Halak who were excellent with Montreal. Garon and Budaj did fine I believe.
It's between Hackett, Condon, Allen and Montembeault. Idk about Hackett so, imo:
Mike Condon
Sam Montembeault
Jake Allen

It's so bad, that if different poster came up with this same roster I'd honestly have no idea which team it was for.

The hint is Drayson Bowman to me. I was too young at the time so my reference of prospects came from video games, for some reason he was good in those and again, for some reason I recall his name distinctly.

For the Rangers you really need to break a project of this size down in to chunks.
So from 00-01 to the first season post-lockout you can roll out beauties like:
Marcel Hossa - Anson Carter - Valeri Kamesnky
Eric Lacroix - Jeff Toms - Rico Fata
Dan LaCouture - Rem Murray - Chris Simon
Steve McKenna - Ryan Hollwegg - Sandy McCarthy
Dale Puriton - Brad Brown
Rich Pilon - Dave Karpa
Sylvain Lefebvre - Jason Strudwick

He was shit but we had little options then.
Jeff finger also played for us but at D. Had a really bad deal given due to confusions by Fletcher
