So many variables. It’s not just picking players to fill positions. Some players complement others better. And then there’s the combined salaries and making sure you don’t hit the cap. It’s a fun exercise (well, some people will think it’s fun).

Responses:

I tried but then realised I didn't care enough to invest the hours it'd take to do it well. I did draft a $184 million team that hits all the other - mafic Jul 19, 18:35 7
- Ovechkin is a free agent who can sign with whoever he wants on the 28th?...so he is out -- nm - crash davis Jul 19, 19:55 6
  - there's nothing stopping them from picking him though - Reagen Jul 19, 19:57 5
    - yeah, I was just trying to trim mafic's $184 million and that seemed like a place to start. If Montreal can stay within cap and carry Price - crash davis Jul 19, 20:01 4
      - oh, there are definitely problems. it'd be insane to pick any 2 of Price, Rask, and Bishop. - mafic Jul 19, 20:35
      - If they think they can contend right away, bit alone cheaper goalies available -- nm - Beaker Jul 19, 20:15 2
        
        I think he'd be my 3rd choice. Rask if you could sign him, Quick if you can't (plus not much else available from LA), then Price. -- nm - mafic Jul 19, 20:43
