You have a good point scoring defense, but hopefully you use some of that extra cap space to get a goalie who will play more than 40 games, a defensemen that may finish with a poisitive +/- and a single forward with 70 point potential.
PS. Buflin will lose you more points than you gain next season, 25P and a -30, book it.

As a Flyers fan, Leighton can either be an absolute steal as late as you got him, play 50 games and have a good winning percentage on a fairly stacked (despite the GM's incompetence) roster. Or the Flyers can finish 7th in the East like usual and Johan Backland could start the bulk of the Flyer's games, god forbid we sign Turco for your sake, either.
Your defense is respectable, but I certainly wouldn't consider it a strength. Most of your forwards are playing at least one line above where they should (Ladd, Bergfors, Stempniak (2 lines above his value), Franzen).

Cam Ward
Jacob Markstrom
Bad goalie duo, I wouldn't hold my breath for a signle start from Markstrom until next season and Ward is good for 20 wins this year. Okay defense, but a very mediocre forward corps. You will have to count yourself lucky if even one of those guys breaks 60 points this season and even luckier if their +/-'s don't erase a bulk of those points (Vanek, I am looking at you buddy).

Top 5 goalie for this league's scoring format, a very nice defense that will score alot of points for you (hopefully Green can keep a positive +/- with his "Exceptional Norris Quality Defensive Prowess
)
You are doing a TON of overrating of your forwards, though. If you get a single 60 points player out of your forwards I would consider you lucky.

Quick will be lucky to play 45 games this season.
Not too many points are going to be coming from your blue line, hopefully Hamhuis can compliment his 20 points with a decent +/-, your first line is alright, despite Kunitz being a 2nd line potential and Kessel's abyssmal +/-, the rest of your forwards are EXTREMELY questionable, though.

Top 3 goalie, pretty good defense (they should all have positive +/-'s and put up average points - I also love Pitkanen), nice first line, I question your second line, though, and the fact that you are putting so much faith in an unproven player to have him anchor your 3rd line.

What do you guys think? And now that most of the team is picked my captain will be Daniel Alfredsson.
Mason is going to play 50 games on a brutal team, best case, worst case he is dethroned by Pavalec because he is younger and Atlanta is looking towards their bleak future, as usual.
Very good top 6, one of the best (despite my personal opinion about Plekanec - the guy alternates good and bad years and just got a contract, warning flags shoot up for me) and an alright 3rd line.
The defense doesn't have alot of punch to it, but it can be solid.
Overall: C+
On a random note, I think I need to rework my rating systems due to the fact that SO many people have players that are going to spend the year in the AHL or at best be random callups to the 3rd line of their NHL team. It is unfair to give a mediocre team a C when I just gave a team with 2 of their top 9 forwards that are going to combine for 20 games played next year a C-.
are away until August 15th, so I'll be autoing them for that time. I am nominating Daymond Langkow, Chuck Kobasew, Nigel Dawes, Andrej Sekera, and Tim Thomas as their auto's. Can I get 3 confirmations or suggestions for other players?
looking to get an upcoming pick. If anyone is interested please PM me.
taking offers on Mike Richards, Duncan Keith, Brent Seabrook, Pikka Rinne
