All Time Devils Teams with a twist

1 week to go for the season so I thought this could be interesting.

Lets do some all time teams with a twist.

A twist you ask? well here they are......

Each team has to be themed, for example.

All Canadian
All American
All Euro
All CHL
All US hockey
All Drafted by NJ
All Drafted by others
All Free Agent
All 80's
All 90's
All 00's
All White/Green/Red
All White/Black/Red

lets see some interesting combinations.
(if you can't get a full team, post what you can)

Without thinking too much about it, heres my All-American team:

Rolston - Gomez - Gionta
Parise - A.Broten - Guerin
Pandolfo - Carpenter - D.Brown
M.Johnson - N.Broten - Chorske

Martin - Rafalski
Weinrich - Kurvers
Chambers - Wolanin

Terreri
Dunham

Might've missed a few guys... but that's not a bad team.

Just off the top of my head, you could probably have Kozlov on that 4th line instead of Oliwa.

Wow this is impressive, there are some seriously good teams up there.

The all Canadians win the cup!...mind you, the drafted team is pretty solid too.

Classic - you truly either have too much time on your hands, or a massive collector of trading cards. :)

Meh, this is easy. It's all in my head.

Edit - I've got an excel list of all Devils players who played for New Jersey, games played, and point totals. I use it for reference.

Now, creating an All-CHL team would be hard. I'm not touching that one.

How about All NCAA???

Brian Rolston - Zach Parise - Bill Guerin
Aaron Broten- Neal Broten - Randy McKay
Jay Pandolfo - John Madden - Doug Brown
Mark Johnson - Brendan Morrison - Brian Gionta


Bruce Driver - Paul Martin
Brian Rafalski - Tom Kurvers
Shawn Chambers - Eric Weinrich
Jim Korn - Brad Bombardir

Chris Terrari
Alain Chevrier
Mike Dunham
Corey Schawb***This was a mistake --NOT NCAA

Hey Classic wasnt Driver a Rockies draft pick ? Thats still technically the Devils right ?

I was counting Rockies as belonging to a team other than the Devils, since the instruction said Devils and not franchise. Aaron Broten was another Rockies pick, so was Tapio Levo.

and Aaron Broten also

Terreri has been listed here as a Canadian and an American.............can we get a ruling on that?

I was wrong, Terreri was born in Rhode Island... something I knew, I think, but I'm so used to putting Terreri as my backup I didn't think about it. Replaced him with Burke.

roger that

born in the US, makes him american, that the way i see it

Terreri has been listed here as a Canadian and an American.............can we get a ruling on that?

Ruling: He was a mediocre goalie that had no shot at either national team. Both countries disown him.

Edit: Born in U.S., played in NCAA, played for US National team (I guess they liked mediocre goalies). Therefore he's a Yankee.

I must say, the NCAA team is a good one too! Lines need some tweaking, but overall, very impressive!

For defensemen, could add Rafalski. He is an easy one to overlook because he started in the NHL with the Devils...I believe he was signed as a free agent and not drafted.

Ah, that one was all drafted by others. I mis-titled it.

Maybe add Phil Housley, although his stay was short.

Ugh it wasn't short enough - that guy drove me nuts.

curious, why? He was brought in as PP specialist and did the job rather well I thought? He improved NJ's PP a lot in the little time he was there.

he did help some, but he didn't play the best defense in his short stay.

sure...But you don't get a guy like Housley to be a shutdown defensemen right? He was there to generate offense.
