Bring on the cap penalties.

I'll spend $15 on Pat LaFontaine and he'll play all 5 position, no shifts off.

Kunitz(1) - Francis(3) - Lang (1)

Coffey(5) - Murphy(4)

Hedberg(1)

3 Francis - 5 Crosby - 3 Kessel
2 Martin - 1 Kasparaitis
1 Hedberg

I’ve always liked Kevin Hatcher. Good player. I don’t know why all the hate.

Maybe overpriced a bit in this cap league... I mean, same price as Joey Mullen??

Shoulda been $0.50

Kinda surprised how many GMs here picked him, but they are all loading up up front.

You spent WAY more than everyone else here on D... I did pick Murphy, and Francis was just too good a steal at $3...

I picked all the guys that played for DET

Kevin hatcher is not derian hatcher.

Mullen (1) - Lemieux (6) - Kessel (2; 1 retained by Toronto)
Martin (2) - Hatcher (1)
Barasso (3)

Edit: For this exercise, it's insanely hard to build a good defense if you pick Mario. The S-Mart bet would be to bolster the D without him.

Kessel (3) - Francis (3) - Mullen (1)
Martin (2) - Murphy (4)
Wregget (2)

And for my money (no pun intended), Murphy > Letang.

on Toronto retaining $1
Mario IS too expensive... that's why I made him majority owner.
Agreed on Murphy.

Good catch. I mixed 'em up.

Also, it's Mario Lemieux, not Jocelyn.

Just to be clear.

Yeah, because I was going to say, Kevin was actually a good defenseman. Derian...not so much.

I hope you’re not being sarcastic lol
Kevin Hatcher could move the puck and chip in offensively. Derian was more of a physical d-man but was not bad.

Jeremy Roenick disagrees



Edit: So does Wayne Bonney

The game had passed him by when he got to Philly, you couldn't get away with nearly as much as you could pre-lockout. But man, during his time in Dallas, he was arguably the toughest/meanest defender in the NHL along with Pronger and Chara.

Derian Hatcher is possibly the slowest skater to play in the NHL ever.

I think that has to go to either Hal Gill or Tiger Williams. Although, if Matthew Strome ever makes it to the NHL, he'll topple them both. Watching him skate in preseason or rookie exhibitions is painful.

Edit: John Scott threw his name in the bag as well. But really, a lot of those 70s/80s enforcers would be ECHL-level skaters today.

Yeah, I'm sure Roenick loved getting jumped into.

Crosby - Lemieux - Jagr
Coffey - Letang
Fleury

$15 down and the rest on a credit card like a good american

Roenick talked so much poop, and was running Modano all year whenever they played, and called Dallas soft. So while I'm sure he didn't enjoy having his jaw wired shut for the next few months, he pretty much had it coming. Back then, you actually had to back up your words, right or wrong.

Not at all.

I don't think too many 90s "defensive defenseman" would look good playing in today's NHL.

Imagine Brendan Witt out there today. (and before ya'll freak out, yes I know Hatcher was a much better player than Witt.)

Roenick always ran his mouth, that was part of Roenick. I just don't think showing a gif of him charging someone is going to sway my opinion on his ability to play actual hockey.

Oh, he wasn't great at things like skating, passing, or stick handling (actually had a decent shot, though, when he got it off). Just saying, he was a guy you didn't want to go into the corner with and had to always keep an eye on.

Kunitz - Francis - Kessel

Kasparaitis - Gonchar

Barasso
