Passing the time this off-season(s)

With 13 months to go till the start of the new season I got thinking how to pass the time. Quite unusually this thinking actually resulted in an idea. Now don't get to excited this idea won't pass 13 months but it could take up an entire episode of the Big Bang Theory if you put enough thought into it. At the able-bodied Summer Olympics (putting on my PC hard-hat there) just past, the football tournament stipulated that only 3 players in a squad of 20 odd Fabios may be over the age of 23. This is supposedly because football is a professional sport and the Olympics is amateur hour. Of course it is nice to see that basketball follows the same rule, erm, oh hang on. Anyway the point of the little ramble which has taken you half and episode of the Big Bang Theory to read is to put together your own NHL team using all but three players under the age of 23 as of today (it is always today before you ask what day that is). I will give mine 15 minutes thought then post it up.

Jagr* - Datsyuk* - Selanne*
Hall - Tavares - Seguin
Ennis - Stamkos - PKane
EKane- Benn - Eberle

Others to consider:
Pacioretty, RNugentH, Landeskog, Henrique, Couture, Skinner


Pieterangelo - Shattenkirk
Karlsson - Gardiner
Carlson - Leddy

Others to consider:
Del Zotto, Doughty, Subban, Ekman Larson, McDonagh, Fowler


Holtby

Others to consider:
Bobrovsky (there are no goaltenders 23 and under!)


* indicates over 23

You could do a similar thing with over 35s I guess but I haven't got the energy to do that right now.
