I'm just razzing ya a bit in return. Mason by far would be a safer pick as he is a phenomenal goalie and hopefully will only become better. Gustavsson is a riskier pick, but if you are to pick a franchise player, you also need to pick someone who gets media attention, and it seems he does. Heart problem, nickname, Toskala or him?, etc... Keep the comments coming, it is nice to hear them. I am surprised no one has gotten on my case about my "From Phoenix with Love" soap box blog yet. None taken my Canadien friend. I’m just razzing ya a bit in return.

Mason would be a much safer pick, but I suppose this whole article does fall into the "fantasy sports" category. No hard feelings. I am enjoying the blog.

Ericsson is a young player up an coming. He has size, the ability to use that size, as well as a great heads up for the game. Not to mention he is under Nicklas Lidstrom and the best team in the NHL for developing payers, the Detroit Red Wings. As for Gustavsson, time will tell. I am going out on a limb here, but guessing you dislike any thing in a Maple Leaf jersey. I suppose it is almost as crazy as me taking an opinion from a Canadien seriously. :) I see you were happy with Iginla though.

I realize as a blogger you need to be creative and thought provoking, but these just come off as insane. Your picking your franchise players off of a combine 29 NHL games? That's almost as crazy as getting my hockey new from an American hockey writer. Jonathan Ericsson and Jonas Gustavsson?

Lee, but the numbers Green puts up is valuable to any team. The saying, "Defense wins championships" does come to mind though. Keep the posts coming. I would have to agree B.
