Your team's best all 2000's roster

[byrath]

That Center depth is mental

That whole team is mental, even with post-peak Hull, Hossa, Chelios, Hasek

 

[Jayevs]

Tanguay-Sakic-Hejduk
Landeskog-Forsberg-Nichushkin
Lehkonen-MacKinnon-Rantanen
O’Reilly-Kadri-Drury

Toews-Makar
Bourque-Blake
EJ-Foote

Roy
Varlamov

 

[Sasha Orlov]

Forward group sucks vs what other teams would have.

But defense and goaltending is stacked.

So pretty much typical Habs lol

It’s missing a 100pt 50g type guy but other than that is very very deep

 

[NJ DevLolz]

Elias-Hughes-Kovalchuk
Parise-Hischier-Bratt
Hall-Gomez-Mogilny
Meier-Arnott-Gionta

Niedermayer-Rafalski
Stevens-Hamilton
Greene-Zidlicky

Brodeur
Schneider

HMs: Zajac, Sykora (gave Gionta the nod because of his 48g peak season), Holik, Paul Martin, Langenbrunner, Madden. Luke Hughes will be there in 5-10 years.

I kept positions accurate. Hence, Zidlicky over Martin

 

[byrath]

Markus Naslund - Henrik Sedin - Daniel Sedin
Todd Bertuzzi - Elias Pettersson - Brock Boeser
JT Miller - Brendan Morrison - Alexander Mogilny*
Ryan Kesler - Bo Horvat - Conor Garland
Alexandre Burrows - Andrew Cassels

Quinn Hughes - Mattias Ohlund
Alex Edler - Ed Jovanovski
Sami Salo - Chris Tanev
Filip Hronek - Kevin Bieksa

Roberto Luongo
Thatcher Demko
Jacob Markstrom

Oprik - Whitney
Dumoulin - Kasparaitis

Nick Foligno - Ryan Johansen - Cam Atkinson
David Vyborny- Brandon Dubinsky - Ray Whitney
Boone Jenner - RJ Umberger - Oliver Bjorkstrand

Zach Werenski - Seth Jones
Jack Johnson - David Savard
Fedor Tyutin - James Wisniewski

Sergei Bobrovsky
Steve Mason

Honorable Mentions: Manny Malhotra, Geoff Sanderson, Matt Calvert, Jan Hejda, Rostislav Klesla, Ron Tugnutt

All except 3 of these players were on the team after 2010..That's how poor our first 12 years were.

That's just sad for a 25 year span. Hell, it's barely above average compared to current rosters around the league. Here's hoping only 5 of those players will make the 2050 roster (Nash, Panarin, Werenski, Jones, Bob)

 

[NJ DevLolz]

Rangers:

Jagr Nylander Straka
Panarin Zibanejad Gaborik
Kreider Nedved Zuccarello
Hagelin Stepan Callahan

McDonagh Fox
Staal Girardi
Miller Klein

Lundqvist
Shesterkin


Overall great goaltending and a solid wings and D-core (a lot of people wouldn't put Miller in there but I love his game).

Centres are weak compared to other teams listed

This team sucks lol. Crazy how far goaltending has carried them

 

[Killakirillthethrill]

Looking for Leaf fans for suggestions on anyone I missed on mine?

Key omissions:
-ROR, as he was a mercenary. Still within the confines of the game, but not necessarily the spirit thereof.

-B. McCabe. It was a toss up between him and Kubina. I was just such a fan of the latter

My bubble forward was Corson as he was past his prime by the time he was on the Leafs. He was such a warrior for us though, which is why he got the nod over some Kessel era wingers. Komorov with Kadri and Tucker would be fun to see though.

I'd probably take Jason Blake over Corson.

[STL fan in MN]

For right defense, we have:

Pronger
MacInnis
Pietrangelo
Parayko
Shattenkirk

I can only assume all the other roster spots are equally as deep.

But no..

Schwartz-Thomas-Tarasenko
Buchnevich-Turgeon-Kyrou
Demitra-ROR-Tkachuk
Steen-Backes-Oshie
Perron, Schenn

Bouwmeester-Pronger
Jackman-MacInnis
Parayko-Pietrangelo

[Allan92]

This team sucks lol. Crazy how far goaltending has carried them

Outside of C, it's a very good group

Dark days of 2000-2006 and rebuild in 2018-2022 hurts the lineup

 

[namttebih]

I'd probably take Jason Blake over Corson.

That's a name I hadn't thought of. Still take Corson for a 4th line role though. To be honest, I was never a Blake fan.

 

[PCAisBest]

With the exception of the 2000's Red Wings team which is ridiculous, I think the 2010 blackhawks stomp the field.

 

[NJ DevLolz]

I think it would be firmly average to below average

Finally, a thread about how good the Red Wings are.

@Eye of Ra made an all 2000's international team thread, so I'm copying his idea at a club level. If this has been done already, so be it - merge away.

The only rule I have is that it's using the players prime year with your team. For example, the Leafs acquired Brian Leetch at the trade dead line at the end of his career. That's the version that they get - not the Noris/Conn Smythe version.

Nylander - Sundin - Roberts
JVR - Matthews - Kessel
Mogilny - Tavares - Marner
Corson - Kadri - Tucker

Reilly - Yushkevich
Kaberle - Tanev
Phaneuf - Kubina

Joseph
Andersen

That D core will look pretty silly next to NSH

I'd run the following lines

Roberts - Sundin - Nylander
JVR - Matthews - Kessel
Knies - Kadri - T. Domi
Corson - M.Domi - Tucker


I'd drop Reilly for Bryan McCabe..

B.McCabe - Kaberle
Phaneuf - Tanev
Yushkevish - Kubina

Joseph
Belfour

Fleury
Murray

Iginla he was 35 but 11 in 13 and the year after he got 60 points in a full season for Boston.

Defensemen
Karlsson and Paul Martin.
Just some food for thought.

The selection of defensemen over the last 25 years is tough for the Leafs. You'd think they'd have a bit more going. I don't know if I'm wrong but I recall Robert Svehla being excellent the one year he was there? I feel like he was better than anyone they have currently for sure.

There are a bunch of 2/3/4 D men on our lists. Still haven't had a true #1 since...Salming I guess? That said, Rielly was a #2 IMO and deserves to be on the list.

I like the addition of Knies for sure.

2 too many Domi's though.

I don't know about excellent, but he wouldn't look out of place on that list.

You can never have enough Domi's on a team.

I kind of like players that plays better in the playoffs than in the regular season.
