Briere crossed out at top LW for Lidstrom’s Team; replaced by Richards. Staal didn’t bother to fill out his 12th forward.

My prediction for team E. Staal lineup:

FORWARDS
Alexander Ovechkin / Eric Staal / Daniel Sedin
Patrick Sharp / Ryan Kesler / Rick Nash
Jeff Skinner / Claude Giroux / Corey Perry
Patrik Elias / Paul Stastny / David Backes

DEFENSEMEN
Zdeno Chara / Dan Boyle
Marc Staal / Mike Green
Erik Karlsson / Kristopher Letang

GOALTENDERS
Cam Ward
Henrik Lundqvist
Carey Price

My Predictions for the Lidstrom Lineup:

FORWARDS
Brad Richards / Steven Stamkos / Martin St. Louis
Anze Kopitar / Henrik Sedin / Daniel Briere
Martin Havlat / Jonathan Toews / Patrick Kane
Loui Eriksson / Matt Duchene / Phil Kessel

DEFENSEMEN
Nicklas Lidstrom / Shea Weber
Duncan Keith / Dustin Byfuglien
Keith Yandle / Brent Burns

GOALTENDERS
Tim Thomas
Marc-Andre Fleury
Jonas Hiller

by devsfan9 on Jan 28, 2011 10:43 PM EST reply actions  

I’d say a success for the NHL. After the draft, Letang, Kessel, Staal, Lidstrom, Skinner were all trending U.S.-wide on Twitter.
