OT: Rangers Soduku

  • Xenforo Cloud will be upgrading us to version 2.3.5 on March 3rd at 12 AM GMT. This version has increased stability and fixes several bugs. We expect downtime for the duration of the update. The admin team will continue to work on existing issues, templates and upgrade all necessary available addons to minimize impact of this new version. Click Here for Updates
The secret to this game is that 1 player has to be 10 20 or 30. This is true for a lot of teams probably, but definitely for the Rangers. From there exactly two players can have two-digit numbers. So in the end three of your players have to have a one-digit number, which really narrows your choices.

Here's a version where all players are in their primes:

Luc Robitaille (20) - Phil Esposito (5) - Jaromir Jagr (68)
Bill Gadsby (4) - Tim Horton (3)
Jacques Plante (1)

You don’t have 7. You need to replace Bill Gadsby with Joel Bouchard.
 
Oops, I made a mistake even after writing those rules. Here's an alternate version.

Esa Tikkanen (10) - Phil Esposito (5) - Alex Kovalev (27)
Doug Harvey (2) - Tim Horton (3)
Terry Sawchuk (30)

Another challenge is that you want to make the single-digit numbers >= 5 if possible because once you get above the 30s it starts it get challening to find good players. There aren't many players like Jagr. Also working with #7 is really difficult if you don't just make Rod Gilbert your RW.

I think Lafreniere should pick #17.

Edit: You're right, I messed up again. It's actually 4 players that get double digit numbers and two players that single digit numbers.

So...

Adam Graves (9) - Phil Esposito (5) - Guy Lafleur (10)
Doug Harvey (2) - Dan Girardi (46)
Terry Sawchuk (30)

Noo, I forgot the 7 again. And I have two zeroes... Ok, here we go.

Esa Tikkanen (10) - Bernie Nicholls (9) - Kaapo Kakko (24)
Brady Skjei (76) - Jacob Trouba (8)
Mike Richter (35)

Yes, I did it!!

1. You are flouting the rules.
2. You are going to make me explode picking a #2 but not Brian Leetch and a #30 but not Henrik Lundqvist.

If you missed my edit mess, I did it!!

That was so much more difficult than I thought. The hardest part is that there a lot of "defensemen numbers" and "goalie numbers" but you can only have 2 and 1 of those on your team.

It actually turned out to be a much more "Rangers" team than I had originally planned. My biggest goal was not having any joke players who played for only a few seasons.

Now I'll critique you. :snide:

On both of your teams you have the handedness of defensemen incorrect. Barry Beck is left-handed and Brad Brown is right-handed. I have to admit that quirk is super annoying.

You can just replace Barry Beck with Dan Girardi on the first team and it is still super formidable and full of Rangers greats (+ Girardi, but he was really good at one time).
