Throughout the middle of the season, the NHL is unveiling Quarter-Century Teams for all 32 franchises, plus the now-defunct Coyotes. Each club is represented by a first and second team of six players – three forwards, two defensemen and one goalie – who played for the franchise after Jan. 1, 2000. The first and second teams were selected by broadcasters and national, local, and NHL.com writers who covered the respective teams and some former players. The six players voted to each First Team will be on the ballot for the NHL All-Quarter-Century Team and will be chosen via a fan vote starting in February.
Back in December, PHR’s Josh Erickson took a crack at predicting how each franchise’s teams would shake out. You can cross-check his projections against the actual results.
