I’ve been asked to clarify the following rule, so here it is – it can also be seen in the rulebook page (see top menu bar): 6. No access granted to “full” teams, notably those with 12 forwards, 6 defense, 2 goalies, to the auction draft. What this means is that a team with a full squad of 12-6-2 CANNOT BRING UP A PLAYER FOR AUCTION AT THE AUCTION DRAFT, as has been the case since the very beginning. If a player is brought up by another GM (assuming that team can in fact bring up such a player, where he has less than 12 forwards, 6 defense or 2 goalies, and brings up a player of the position that he is lacking in only), a “full” team can bid on that player, on condition that he has sufficient draft picks to cover the additional player and to be able to drop the latest pick as a result.

In compiling this list, I started with the highest projected point getters in the year to come, and worked my way under the $60 million cap by eliminating the highest paid players one by one and replacing them with cheaper options at nearly the same production. Notable exclusions are the big names we always see at the top of the rankings, but despite all that, the following is the first ever recorded SFHL Dream Team, which can, on paper, outpoint our most recent title-winner’s team by more than 400 pts in the coming season: Goaltenders: Carey Price, Old No. 7 Pekka Rinne, Punishers Defensemen: Kris Letang, Crazy8 Shea Weber, Black Sox Tobias Enstrom, Crazy8 Drew Doughty, Assman Lubomir Visnovsky, Rockers Keith Yandle, Magnum Forwards: Daniel Sedin, Quebec Habitants Steven Stamkos, Mr. Motorboat Corey Perry, Hot Liquid Nicklas Backstrom, Old No. 7 Patrick Kane, Patriots Claude Giroux, Rockers Zach Parise, Goodfellas John Tavares, Mr. Motorboat Matt Duchene, Old No. 7 Bobby Ryan, Hot Liquid Patrick Marleau, Old No. 7 Jeff Carter, Quebec Habitants
