    steve downie.

    he's the only player I bring with me wherever I go. My mancrush on him is uncomfortable for both him and I(see the restraining order)

    John Madden for the defensive skills he brings and the goal he can score every now and then, seemingly whenever I need it the most.

    Owen Nolan is on my every new franchise for at least the first year. He always ends up scoring 20+ goals no matter who he's with on my 2nd line. It doesn't even matter if I play the games or sim them!

    So yeah, those two are the veteran cornerstone of all my new franchises.

        Claude Giroux, Mike Richards, Pavel Datsyuk, or Linus Omark are a few that I'd love to start any franchise with.

          A few faves of mine are:

          Jere Lehtinen - love his D
          Ales Hemsky - love his speed
          Steve Sullivan - guy is always a goal scoring machine for me in the game
          Devin Setoguchi - clutch goal scorer
          Brent Seabrook - scores a lot of goals for a d-man in the game

            Any 2 of Rick Nash, Shea Weber, or Milan Lucic. I had all 3 last year, but I don't imagine that will be doable this year.

              Drew Doughty for sure, I started with him on my team in 2K8 and I scored almost 20 goals with him. I love how mobile he is! I had him paired with Nathan Paetsch and surprisingly, they were very good together. I think I may try it again with NHL 11 and see how it goes.

                    Seriously, all you really need is Nick Lidstrom. Besides being a consumate ice general and a really sweet guy, he will work extra hours on the ice with the rookies and young players in order to get them ready. Add Mike Modano if you want another true pro that, while he may only have a year left, will be a great teacher for your young player (it is really too bad you can not turn your retired greats into coaches. How sweet will that be when they put it in?).

                    I have played some with that T. Hall guy in the demo HUT. He has definitely worked his way into a 3rd line spot for me when the game comes out.

                    P.S.- Pearly, Owen Nolan is a great guy to have for sure. Fan Favorite and willing to help the young guys. He is a Stallion.

                      I don't have one anymore, but I used to snag Pat LaFontaine back in the day for every team I used.

                        I always pick up Matthew Lombardi. Great speed, love him on the second or third line. In NHL 08 I had him leading the league in points 2 seasons in a row somehow!

                          I always try to get Rick Nash in my franchise. He's my favorite player so it's a no-brainer for me. John Madden always ends up on my team somehow too.

                            I'm not really partial to any player, but I'm sure I will be that way with Ennis once he comes along.

                              I played a game as the Sabres last night and he was awesome for me. Definitely going to try to get him whenever I start my BAGM.
