Lowest post count wins? :scared:

The winner will win the prize of never being considered for Penguins HC, because they'll be closest to what Sullivan came up with :lol:

In seriousness, if anyone gets the bottom six forwards all correct, I will applaud whoever posted it. Just know that you'll be driven off to the looney bin.

DeHaven, edit your entry. You have 2 extra forwards and 2 extra defensemen, which would give you a 24 man roster. Remove a player.

Nah, that makes it too easy. I figured part of the fun was everyone listing their bottom 6 and the bottom d-pairing before we know about trades, injuries, etc.

McGroarty has a very good camp but still gets sent down in last round of cuts. Sullivan justifies it with typical, irritating double speak.

Good grief are there many asterisks that should go into typing that up. I would personally be very tempted to send Acciari through waivers.

Ok, lets see:

Malkin - Sid - Acciari

Bunting - Lizotte - Rakell
Beauvillier - Glass - Poljujarvi
Extra: DOC, Bemström

Grzelcyk - Letang
Graves - Karlsson
Pettersson - Aho
Extra: Shea

Jarry
Ned

Crosby signs 9/17, gets 69 points.

(So, I took the oldest players first, and just went downward. I trust Sully to do this)

Nobody gets the 6 point bonus for correctly guessing the Crosby signing date.
