Anybody interested in playing in a theme where you combine the two Stanley Cup teams without twisting? After watching last night's game, the Stanley Cup will consume my life for the next 2 weeks!

Trying to gauge interest and appropriate cap at this point.

Please let me know if you'd like to play and suggestions for rules, cap, etc.

Gretzky and Lemieux's top seasons are not eligible in this theme!

Wouldn't all the teams be the same?? One thing you need when you do a theme is INVENTORY.

I like bigger caps.. A lot of the guys don't. $100-110m would be good.. Minor leaguers? I hate 'em all. Even if rated great, you might get on really good one

No, you select an exclusive year and then make your team from the two Stanley Cup teams.

For example you choose 2019 then your roster would consist only of 2018-19 Blues and Bruins players. Make sense?
