This ain't your dad's NHL, folks. It's not even your older brother's.
Whether that's good or bad depends on your point of view, but there's no arguing the year-long lockout and resulting salary cap has changed the NHL's look and feel. Major annual roster shakeups are now a fact of life in all precincts, and those preaching the new-age wisdom of speed, offense and youth have taken on an air of genius.

3. Chris Pronger, D: Pronger was the driving force behind the Oilers' great playoff run with his ability to control the tempo of things on the ice. He has size, strength, skill and smarts, all the things you want in a defenseman.
--------------------
6. Scott Niedermayer, D: He might be the best skater in the game, and certainly the best among defensemen. But there's a lot more to Niedermayer's game that just his legs. A lot more.
--------------------
22. Teemu Selanne, RW: Too bad the NHL doesn't give comeback awards. Selanne deserved it last year. He got over knee problems during the lockout and became one of the game's most dangerous snipers again.

He should at least be between 35-50.
