We’re almost done with the conference final and haven’t done a mailbag in forever, so let’s dig into the inbox and see what’s on your mind.As always, submitted questions have been edited for clarity and style. They have not been edited to prevent you from coming up with weird ideas that anyone else would instantly delete and report as spam. Speaking of which …Which NHL team would have the best current roster if the players’ jersey numbers reflected their ages? For example, the Senators could ice an 18-year-old Tim Stützle, a 7-year-old Brady Tkachuk, an 85-year-old Jake Sanderson, a 2-year-old Artem Zub, etc. You can structure the lineups however you like in order to shelter the infants and the elderly. But we still have to roll four lines and three pairings. — AlexYep, there it is. OK, let’s do this.Like all great teams, I feel like we need to build from the net out here. That means making sure we don’t have any 1-year-olds back there, because toddler-sized goalies just can’t cover enough net. (With apologies to Allan Bester and Darren Pang.) That’s OK, because the tradition of goalies wearing the number 1 has faded over the years; last season, the only full-time starters who wore it were Jeremy Swayman, Lukáš Dostál and Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen. But we also need to make sure we don’t have any senior citizens back there popping hip sockets, which costs us guys such as Andrei Vasilevskiy, Juuse Saros, Sergei Bobrovsky and Jet Greaves. So that’s a bunch of teams off our list.The blue line will also be tricky, since we don’t want any kindergartners out there trying to clear the front of the net. That costs us key options such as Dallas (for a 4-year-old Miro Heiskanen) and Colorado (8-year-old Cale Makar). And up front, we’re going to run into the same problem we had with the infamous goals question from a few years ago, where most of the stars are either way too high or way too low to help us. I mean, how effective would a 97-year-old Connor McDavid be? I think he tops out at 80 points, max.We do have a few intriguing options. The Sabres start with a prime blue-line pairing of 26-year-old Rasmus Dahlin and 25-year-old Owen Power, but the forwards are a mess. The Leafs get a veteran Auston Matthews at 34 and Matthew Knies gets to stay 23, but William Nylander’s switch from 29 to 88 takes them out of contention. The Rangers start strong on their back end with a 23-year-old Adam Fox and a goalie combo of Igor Shesterkin and Jonathan Quick in their prime, but it falls apart after that. And the Islanders are a sneaky contender since they keep the current version of Ilya Sorokin and everyone else is at least functional, ranging from 13-year-old Mathew Barzal and 14-year-old Bo Horvat to a pudgy and balding but still upright Matthew Schaefer at 48.In the end, I think we end up with the Carolina Hurricanes as the pick. Frederik Andersen gets a bit younger at 31, Sebastian Aho has his whole career ahead of him at 20, Andrei Svechnikov can still get around at 37, and Nikolaj Ehlers, Seth Jarvis and Logan Stankoven are all in their prime. Plus, I feel that an 11-year-old Jordan Staal can still win a faceoff or two, while 74-year-old Jaccob Slavin is probably still better in his own end than 90 percent of the league.Does anyone else find it unacceptable that Konsta Helenius isn’t somehow related to Kristian Huselius? – KevinNot now, Kevin, I’m still not over Martin Straka getting traded for Martin Strbak.Other members of the “Should be related but aren’t” All-Stars would include Alexis Lafrenière and Alex Laferriere, Andre and Anders Lee, Leo Carlsson and Linus Karlsson, Esa Lindell and Anton Lundell, Logan Stankoven and Logan Stanley, Mike Reilly and Morgan Rielly, and of course the Elias Petterssi.And it goes without saying that the captain of the team has to be Wayne Grotski.How many Presidents’ Trophy winners have gone on to be swept in the conference final or Stanley Cup Final in NHL history, and why did it happen to the Avalanche? — KrisKeeping in mind that the award dates only to 1986, the Avalanche are the eighth Presidents’ Trophy winner to lose in the conference final, but the first to be swept. If we’re also counting sweeps in the Stanley Cup Final, we can add the 1995 Red Wings to the list. If you wanted to expand even further and look for Presidents’ Trophy winners who were swept at any point in the playoffs, then you also get the 2019 Lightning, 2022 Panthers and 1988 Flames.
