Fun for the Feeble Minded

My co-workers and I usually go back and forth about the NHL and hockey in general.

Usually it starts with insults from non-hockey fans who get stuck writing stories about or who are assigned NHL games on any given night and always ends with me picking apart every argument they make about hockey sucking because, despite my love for the game, I agree with most of their logic that the league itself sucks.

Still, what came out of those always wearying quasi-complaints/discussions was a pretty golden idea: what if the next NHL expansion team employed nothing but former Flyers who are still active players?

The Winnipeg Blue Jackets
Head Coach: Kevin Dineen
Assistant Coaches: Keith Acton, Rick Tocchet

Goaltenders: Brian Boucher, Michael Leighton

Defensemen: Dennis Seidenberg, Kim Johnsson, Joni Pitkanen, Freddy Meyer, Denis Gauthier, Alexandre Picard, Jim Vandermeer.

First Line: Rod Brind'Amour, R.J. Umberger, Dainius Zubrus
Second Line: Justin Williams, Patrick Sharp, Ruslan Fedotenko
Third Line: Patrick Thoresen, Michal Handzus, Jon Sim
Fourth Line: Todd Fedoruk, Jim Dowd, Kyle Calder

The WBJs have pretty good defense. Calder doesn't deserve to be on the fourth line of their AHL affiliate, though. I'd put Prospal on the LW of the first line and drop everyone else down a line.
