First of all, great list. I think there are very few people on these boards who would come up with the list this accurate about relative unknown hockey country.
The only issue I'd see is that at F you kinda overrate our old guard, I think guys like Pliskauskas or E. Bauba are a bit too high and guys like D. Kumeliauskas and Bosas too low. Of course the former two have helped our NT a ton in lower divisions but at the current level, they would hardly cut it. The defense is spot on considering somebody explained Kaminskas he doesn't need to take a stupid penalty every other shift and in goal Aleinikovas definitely deserves a mention as both by far the 2nd best goalie we had and for his importance to the team at the time.
At forward, considering we take those players in their prime, my arrangement would be:
D. Kumeliauskas - Zubrus - Bernatavicius
Bosas - T. Kumeliauskas - Lelenas
D. Bauba - Kuliesius - Pliskauskas
Verenis - Bogdziul - E. Bauba
Again, if we take players at their prime, I will take Verenis over Krakauskas even though his truly pro career was really short and bumpy but Kraukauskas needs to elevate his game to be a no-brainer here. Kuliesius is also a bit of debatable pick, him and Kulevicius are probably the most honorable of honorable mentions, if I truly wanted to win I'd probably take Cizas already but let's give him a few more years and for time being just go with the old guard.
But that's just rearranging chairs on the deck of the ship, again, great list.
