Keep in mind, I would also like some input into the size of the team as well. Personally I'd like to go with a smaller team. So let's say we go with 11 or 12. The you assume that two people can't make it each week (because that almost always happens) and you get two forward lines and 4 defensemen, or we can go with 13, which (when everyone's there) is 3 forward lines, and four defensmen. Then as players don't make it, you just consense the lineup. So if 1 guy doesn't show, then you roll two cnetres through three sets of wingers, if two guys don't show you roll two cnetres, and play with three d-men etc.
There are pros and cons to each, obviously the cost goes up for every less player we have on the team, also for those of us who are a litle out of shape *hand goes up*, bombing around every second shift can be hard to do some nights.
A lot of team like to go with 15 (3 lines, 6 d-men) to cut costs, but being on a team like that before it was a bit overwhelming when everyone was there, both in the small dressing rooms, and on the benches.
