Heatherington(24) Savard(29)
Johnson(33) Connauton(29)
Prout(29)

Bobrovsky(31)
Forsberg(27)

This is without using any picks from 2015 AND BEYOND ALSO

Have to admit the top 6 looks filthy

 

[TrillMike]

There is so much turnover, but if everything pans out for Dallas (and I'm for sure missing guys):

Benn-Seguin-Nischuskin
Dickinson-Spezza-Ritchie
Roussel-Faksa-Eakin

?-Klingberg
Oleksiak/Nemeth-Honka
Lindell-Demers

Campbell
Desrosiers

 

[Baruch]

Pacioretty - Desharnais (C) - McCarron
Galchenyuk (Permanent LW) - Plekanec - Scherbak
Hudon - De La Rose - Gallagher
Crisp - Bournival - Sekac (Permanent 4th line RW)

Beaulieu - Subban
Markov (42 yo) - Dietz
Tinordi (Rookie season) - Pateryn

Fucale
Price (back up à la Brodeur)

Coaches:
Head: Therrien

What makes you think Price will decline so sharply? He is only 27 years old.

I am also quite convinced that we'll end up signing Nash in free agency for "one last hurrah before retirement".

 

[LV*]

JVR (30) - Stamkos (30) - Nylander (23)
Leivo (26) - McDavid (22) - Brown (26)
Johnson (25) - Kadri (29) - Panik (29)
Leo (33) - Gauthier (24) - Holland (29)
Biggs/Rupert/Carrick

Rielly (25) - Percy (26)
Finn (25) - Granberg (27)
Nilsson (26) - Loov (27)
Valiev (23)

Bernier (31)
Bibeau (25)

I'm keeping it fair and only taking one of Stamkos/Tavares, both will probably sign in Toronto though.

if you didn't notice it was a sarcastic post with some Therrien bashing

 

[MuzzaFuzza]

This is pretty hard to predict, probably be so so so wrong but:

Assuming no trades or FA signings cause those are next to impossible to predict.



*If we draft McEichel this year*

Hall - McEichel - Yakupov
Pouliot - RNH - Eberle
Slepyshev - Draisatl - XXX
Klinkhammer?? - Yakimov - Chase

Nurse - XXX
Klefbom - Schultz
Marincin - (One of our several one DMan)

Brossoit

*If we draft hanifin this year*

Pouliot - RNH - Eberle
Hall - Draisatl - Yakupov
Slepyshev - Yakimov - XXX
Klink - XXX - Chase

Nurse - Hanifin
Klefbom - Schultz
Marincin - (Young DMan)

That roster looks like it could contend for 1st OA still

 

[penguins2946*]

Perron-Crosby-Bennett
Kapanen-Malkin-Hornqvist
Wilson-Sundqvist-Rust
Farnham-Sill-Uher

Maatta-Letang
Pouliot-Despres

I just threw out names beyond the top-4 and top-6.

How would you have any clue how good any of those players would be in 5 years?

 

[Jason MacIsaac]

RIP - RIP - RIP

[Intangiblezz]

Were missing players at 2 key positions and obviously half of the team probably won't be on the team but yeah.

Max Pacioretty (31) - Alex Galchenyuk (25) - Nikita Scherbak (24)
Charles Hudon (25) - XXX - Michael McCarron (24)
Jiri Sekac (27) - Lars Eller (30) - Brendan Gallagher (27)

[Burke the Legend]

What would your favorite team look like in five years, based on current players, prospects, and/or mock draft picks

Rangers:

Anthony Duclair-Derek Stepan-Pavel Buchnevich
Chris Krieder-Kevin Hayes-JT Miller
Jesper Fast-Derick Brassard-Mats Zuccarello
Danny Kristo-Oscar Lindberg-????

Ryan McDonagh-Brady Skjei
Marc Staal-Dylan McIllrath
Connor Allen-Dan Girardi

Henrik Lundqvist
Brandon Halverson

Edit: This is assuming all prospects pan out, of course. Decent forward core with a mediocre defense and pretty ok in net. The Rangers may be one of those "good but not great" teams that finish around the 95 point, 44 win range.

Major Departures: Nash (free agency), St. Louis (retired), Hagelin (free agency)

Doubt it

 

[Yarice]

Merrill - Larsson
Santini - Severson
Gelinas - Helgeson

Schneider
Kinkaid?

id post the forwards but there are so many holes :'(

Wow, that is a pretty good defense!

 

[Islanderfan17]

JVR-Tavares-Kessel
Gauthier-Nylander-Stamkos

That didn't take long

 

[DieByTheShield]

Doubt it

MSL would be around 44 by then, most hockey players retire between the ages of 38 and 42.

 

[David Castillo]

There is so much turnover, but if everything pans out for Dallas (and I'm for sure missing guys):

Benn-Seguin-Nischuskin
Dickinson-Spezza-Ritchie
Roussel-Faksa-Eakin

?-Klingberg
Oleksiak/Nemeth-Honka
Lindell-Demers

Campbell
Desrosiers

Disagree. By 2020 Spezza's contract will be up. More like:



Benn-Seguin-Shore (I think he'll look like a mutant Eaves)
Pollock-Dickinson-Nichushkin
Roussel-Eakin-Ritchie
McKenzie-Faksa-Elie

Lindell-Klingberg
Nemeth-Honka
Bystrom-Haydon

Campbell
Desrosiers

Darkhorse picks for spots: Ully and Hanssen.

[Deserted TiredOfHate]

Very optimistically:

(?) - Horvat - Virtanen
Bonino - McCann - Vey
Shinkaruk - H. Sedin - Jensen
Gaunce - Cassels - Kassian

Edler - Tanev
(?) - (?)
J. Subban - Tryamkin

Lack
Demko

Bottom 4 D's a tough one with: Corrado, Stanton, Clendenning, Hutton, McNally, Stewart, etc.

 

[Dellstrom]

Impossible to say because of trades/drafts but I'll give it a bid.



Lucic-Krejci-Pastrnak
Marchand-Bergeron-Smith
Cehlarik-Khokhlachev-Ferlin
Cunningham-X-Knight

Morrow-Hamilton
Krug-Arnesson
Trotman-O'Gara

Rask
Subban

The defense and bottom-6 will look nothing like that, as will the entire team, but still.. Going off prospects and such, that.

 

[SchennSational1022*]

Schenn - Giroux - Voracek
EKanenaughty- Couturier- Simmonds
Leier- Laughton- Nicolas Aube-Kubel
__- Cousins - __

Morin - Gostisbehere
Sanheim - Hagg
MDZ - Schenn

Mason/Stolarz

That defensemen group is......something special, very special. Doubt MDZ or LSchenn (thought he should be) will be around then. Obviously if we got EKane we'd have to give one of those other important roster players up, I'm just joking around.....somewhat.
