NHL Debut Yrs. Tourney Playoffs Round 3 Match 1: 1991-1992 vs. 2013-2014

[tony d]

After a successful round robin tourney it's time for the playoffs to see who hfboards thinks is the best roster of debuting player for a season since 1989-1990

As always for retired players vote based upon their career totals and for current players vote based upon their career projections.

All rosters are final.

I didn't notice this before but vote based upon NHL careers only.

Polls are open 24 hrs.

Also study rosters carefully, seedings could be based upon more on group matches and voter participation than strength of roster.

1991-1992: Playoffs 1st seed:

Won Group C, won Rd. 1 Match 12-0 vs. 1999-2000, won Rd. 2 Match 5-4 vs. 1990-1991
