tphilly5 Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 The Athletic had an interesting article today that discussed putting together the all time best 6 using each of the ten digits just once. The Rangers were not one of the teams they discussed. An example was the Oilers being unable to use Mess and Gretzky because of the 1 (11) and 9 (99) being used twice. My team is from only guys I saw play G - Richter - 3 & 5 (could also go Hank with 3 & 0) D - Leetch - 2 D - Greschner - 4 RW - Gilbert - 7 C - Tkaczuk - 1 & 8 LW - Graves - 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or no? I don't play Soduku, obviously LOL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In this exercise it is suduko like in that you can only use a number once. Center was my toughest spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LindG1000 Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 Do you need a 6 here? Or no? I don't play Soduku, obviously LOL. Yeah, gotta use all numbers. This game has got some oddball limiters that come up real quick: no duplicates means no 11/22/33 etc, the limitations mean you can only have two single-digit jersey numbers. It's surprisingly challenging. Rules per Sean McIndoe: What’s the best six-man starting lineup you can make for a given team out of players whose jersey numbers combine to use each digit once and only once? For the Rangers, 5, 6, and 9 really mess with you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tphilly5 Posted August 31, 2020 Author Share Posted August 31, 2020 I stand corrected you do have to use all 10 digits...ugggh. That makes it real tough. Might have to go with some old timers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's really fucking hard. Could go... Richter (35) Greschner (4), Skjei (76) Panarin (10), Bathgate (9), Sandstrom/Larmer (28) The more I think about this, the key for the Rangers is that they have so few worthwhile high numbers that aren't in the 90s, and so few mid-teens and mid-20s that are worth using, so isolate those first and work around them. I've seen a few groups where you get stuck with like...Purinton or McQuaid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LindG1000 Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 Or something like... Hank (30) Greschner (4), Girardi (5) Kovalev (27), Ratelle (19), Jagr (68) I'll take this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could keep this and go with Gilbert / Nylander / Jagr for forwards, replace G with Tyutin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be a tough group to beat. Problem is you need the four double digit guys and the Rangers don’t have a lot of decent guys with high exotic numbers. Jagr was a good pick, although he and Kovalev were both RW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flynn Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 Here's the other end of the spectrum (2000 on) G- Mike Dunham (3 & 0) D- Wade Redden (6) D- Dale Purinton (5) LW- Cody Mcleod (8) C- Jamie Lundmark (1 & 7) RW- Greg Moore (4 & 9) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I solved my 5 problem by making it a single digit. You almost have to take Jagr, and Greschner helps a LOT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swap Purinton for Ryan Sproul or McLeod for John Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sod16 Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 Richter 35 Leetch 2 Greschner 4 Gilbert 7 Ratelle 19 Vickers 8 With the 1939-40 Cup winners, you can easily do this with one year's team! Davey Kerr 1 Art Coulter 2 Ott Heller 3 Dutch Hiller 8 Lynn Patrick 9 Mac Colville 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
