Is this some sort of sick joke?

George Laraque on the second line? Rated 90 overall? Markov on the third pairing behind Brisbois, Boullion and Gorges?

I'm sorry about my lines being screwed up
I didn't really take the time to take out and put in players I just added and some of the really good players got pushed down the lines.
Any tips? this is my first dynasty.

You should tell first how you came up with this squad. Take a look at others dynasty around the forum. You don't have to be an ace in photoshop but you need to develop some sort of storyline. Check onlybygrace dynasty, it's a good example of a simple but interesting and well written dynasty.

I'm more concerned with the fact that the players you DO have, have overalls similar to superstars such as Crosby and Ovechkin.

How are fourth line scrubs like George Laraque and Brian Smolinski rated 90 overall? I know NHL10's development system sucks but it's not that outrageous.
