Tried to pick younger guys and I loaded up with 12 defensemen, similar to what Vegas did. I ended up with:
Forwards:
Henrique (Ana), McCann (Pit), Lowry (Wpg), Nichushkin (Col), Kunin (Nas), Hartman (Min, Dumba was somehow available, a slight cheat as I think he will be protected), Asplund (Buf, lol), Archibald (Edm), Dickinson (Dal), Barbashev (Stl), Paul (Ott), Wagner (LAK), Lind (Van), Balcers (SJS), Sprong (Was)
Defense:
Gio (Cal), DeKeyser (Det), Zadorov (Chi), Cernak (TBL), Holl (Tor), Hagg (Phi), Mayfield (NYI), Clifton (Bos), Bean (Car), Quenville (NJD), Bitetto (NYR), Forsling (Fla),
Goalies:
Allen (Mtl). Raanta (Ari), Kivlenieks (Clb)
Well under the cap and is compliant with all the rules, as far as I can tell. Flame away!
