Dream Team Matchup

So about a week ago, NHL.Com ranked the best players currently in the league and it got me thinking: how would you stop the best players today? Would the heroes of yesteryear be able to stand up? Or would there be no matching the voted best players of today’s game?

My challenge to you to simple: in the comments, field the best 23 man squad (13 forwards, 7 defence, and 3 goalies take on the team I’ve listed below and how a 7 game series would play out. I’m interested to hear and see who you guys select!

Only rule is you can’t select anyone on this team.
