Just got finished with a Stanley Cup theme league and it was a lot of fun. Different teams. Very cool. So, to take that idea to another zone, let's try REVENGE OF THE ALSO RANS!

Choose an exclusive team from the available teams below. They all lost in the Cup final. Let's see if there's a whim of vindication in these teams. I'm sure this has been done in the past, but haven't seen it in  awhile.

You may draft any player on the Stanley Cup roster ONLY. That means if the player was traded before the playoffs, they are NOT eligible. This means combined seasons are NOT acceptable.

TWISTING ALLOWED and encouraged!

Rules:

No WW; No trades; Inj 2; No MLers; No Clones (it's obvious, but you never know if needs to be stated)

UP

Ill sign up friday, waiting on 2 leagues to finish up and 2 leagues to fill before I get involved in another one.  So say if I take the 81 Northstars, thats it, just players off the 81 team??  No one else can be selected.  IM not picking the 81 stars, just using them as an example.

I'll take the 84 Islanders.

If you take the 81 North Stars then you can only use players that were on that roster POST the trade deadline. Use Hockey Reference or Hockeydb as a reference.

Sounds good Kite.  Ill do my research!  Gotta try to get a sniff of closeness to the playoffs in one of these hockey leagues.

i added some teams, so going from 70 and the expansion.

1993 LA KINGS 

well... i guess we're still alive for another day. welcome!

I will take the 75 Sabres

Good choice!

I will take the 1971 Hawks

Ok. Revived for the time being. Cool.
