Default This years starting lineup

Pick your starting lineup for next year! You get points based on the criteria listed below. I'm even willing to throw in some paypal cashola for the winner (mods, if that's allowed)

I'm also going to provide a point incentive for picking early (rather than waiting till preseason and 3 games before game #1), still deciding how to do this.. Might do like +20 for first 50 posts, +15 for next 50 posts, something like that.. Or do it based on month.. +50 for submitting in April, +30 for May, +10 for June, +2 for July> or something..

This years regulars (worth 2 points)

- Backlund, Bouma, Colborne, Ramo, Brodie, Giordano, D Jones, Westgarth, Mcgrattan, Monahan, Glencross, Hudler, Stajan, Russell, Smid, Wideman, etc

This years UFAs (worth 3 pts)
- Cammalleri, Butler, Galiardi

Tweeners (players that have been up and down) (worth 4 points)
- Granlund, Reinhart, Knight, Baertschi, Ortio, Hanowski, Wotherspoon, Breen, SOB, Billins, Blair Jones, Macdonald

Players that had tryouts (worth 5 pts)
- Gaudreau, Arnold, Van Brabant, Agostino

Players in our system that have never played for the flames (worth 6 points)
- Sieloff, Poirier, Klimchuk, Kulak, Gordon, Kanzig, etc

Players arrived via a trade or UFAs signed from other teams (worth 8 points)
- ie Iginla, Reimer, Sedins, I'll make Wolf only worth 5 points though since he is a big rumor right now

Drafted players (worth 5 points)

- Ekblad, Reinhart, Bennett, Draisaitl, Dal Colle

Please let me know any players that I have missed.

So here's a scoring example: (just an example, not my actual picks)

F:
Glencross (2) - Stajan (2) - Hudler (2)
Baertschi (4) - Monahan (2) - Colborne (2)
Cammalleri (3) - Backlund (2) - Wolf (5)
Gaudreau (5) - Bennett (5) - Mcgrattan (2)

D:
Giordano (2)
Weber (8)
Brodie (2)
Russell (2)
Wideman (2)
Wotherspoon (4)

G:
Ramo (2)
Gillies (6)

Scratches:
Westgarth (2)
Sieloff (6)

So the total points for this lineup would be 72 plus some bonus for making the lineup pick early..
One lineup pick per user.

See if this is a fun game or not

I particularly like how you snuck Weber in there, lol. Must have been an epic trade, considering they still have all their players but somehow nabbed him out of Nashville. Burke is a genius, confirmed.

What the heck, let's give this a try. Assuming that Burke will sign at least 2 free agents, he will likely go for some size to help balance out the lineup:

Matt Moulson-Backlund-Hudler
Granlund-Monahan-Colborne
Glencross-Stajan-D. Jones
Bouma-Knight-McGrattan
Byron, Van Brabant

Giordano-Brodie
Russell-Smid
Wideman-Matt Greene
Wotherspoon

Ramo-Brian Elliott

Can we get some dollar figures in there?

My biggest concern next year is our inability to meet the cap floor.

I fixed my post with the newly added FA's contracts.

Ya, you should do this with Capgeeks armchair GM tool and include all salaries. I assume the cap floor is around 52M for next year.

People keep forgetting about Ferland. He was spoken very highly of by Conroy the other day. He was going to be the next call up before his season ending surgery

Perhaps we may be done with Kevin Westgarth then?

They seem like 2 different players. I think Ferland is more of a power forward then an enforcer
