How would they do?

What if Gary really decided to get really quirky with the WC and along with the European leftovers and the NA kiddies he announced a team African North American. Just a little fun here, how would these guys fare?

They have no natural centers. That would hurt them a lot. Also their goaltending is awful.

I know. I don't even think that Malcolm is under contract yet. Pokey Reddick available for the tourney?

Etem does play some C though does he not? Chris Stewart as well but isn't under a contract right now I believe.

I don't follow the Bruins but I'm 99% certain Malcom is/was in the NHL this year so he's definitely under contract

Subban is on the Bruins roster. Chris Stewart is on the Sabres roster.

 

[I Hate Blake Coleman]

Ward is better than most of the guys on the second and third lines. I'd say all, but unsure about Kane.

 

[TrillMike]

Can Anson Carter be on the coaching staff?

I actually like that D-core. Not sure how they'd do with their centers.

Oduya is Swedish...

I meant Anthony.

Oduya is Swedish...

OK. The black guy team then.

 

[Sam Spade]

That would be one truculent team for sure.

 

[Eye Test Approved]

So on most nights it would be black guys vs white guys? Sounds dodgy. I'm glad the nhl is getting more diverse though! Now we need more black curlers!

I tried to make sense of this team with their lack of centres but couldn't. The D is good. 4 very good top 6 players. 3 good bottom 6 players. Very mediocre goaltending. Could probably still beat Buffalo, Carolina and Edmonton. Very good to see the NHL diversifying though.

Evander Kane - Jarome Iginla - Kyle Okposo
Chris Stewart - Emerson Etem - Wayne Simmonds
Devante Smith-Pelly - Joel Ward - Anthony Duclair
Paul Bissonnette - JT Brown - Ryan Reaves

Trevor Daley - PK Subban
Johny Oduya - Dustin Byfuglien
Mark Fraser - Seth Jones

This was for the World Cup. Not an every day team. Lol

So you replaced the Captain of the Devils with the guy that he was replaced with as an AHL call up? Logical.
