Didn't see this posted anywhere else, and hey, the more we can talk about past teams and not the current one, the better lol

Bertuzzi feels like an omission, but otherwise this is probably about right.

Not sure if Demmer is better than Schneider.

I like it. Probably the next in line for me would be; Burrows, Bertuzzi, or Salo. But I'm not sure who you'd take out. Maybe Kesler for Burrows if you value his clutch goals. Bieksa is one of my favorite canucks so he stays.

Hughes and Tanev >

Just imagine Quinn Hughes during the Sedin era. Multiple cups.

I’d have Hamhuis and Salo over Bieksa. Probably Tanev as well. It’s not a huge margin, though.

Bertuzzi and Burrows would be the only other viable forwards.

Schneider playing on those terrible Jersey teams before all the injuries was such a shame.

The year where he posted a .925 and 2.2 GAA over 69 games... still had a losing record. Henrique was the highest scoring forward with 43 points and Larsson was the highest scoring D-man with 27. The corpses of Zidlicky, Gomez, Zubrus, Tootoo, Elias, Ryder, Havlat, Salvador, even Clowe, were all playing for that team! Insane number of players who were heavily declining or outright retiring after 2014-15. That roster even had Jagr lol.

Schneider's performance even deluded Mafia Luo into thinking the team was competitive and they added at the deadline (Jagr and Zidlicky) despite the team being below .500 by the end of February. They ended the season with 76 points lol
