What would the Suicide Squad look like if it was made up of NHL stars?

With "Suicide Squad" set to hit the big screens worldwide, now seems like an appropriate time to compare today's NHL stars with the villainous - or heroic - cast.

While these NHLers aren't a part of any secret government-led agency (that we know of), here's five players in the game today that share some similar traits.

Deadshot - Alex Ovechkin

While Deadshot is the expert marksman of the Suicide Squad, Ovechkin is the penultimate sniper of a generation, maybe even of all time. Sure, Deadshot's ammunition might be jacketed lead, compared to Ovechkin's vulcanized rubber, but when Ovi unloads his clip, you can hardly tell the difference.

Joker - Brad Marchand

Like the Joker, Marchand is most effective when under the skin of his adversaries. Marchand's personality and antics have put him in trouble before, and whether he's scoring goals, taking and/or drawing a penalty, the pesky Boston Bruins forward tends to do so wearing a devious grin.

Harley Quinn - Brent Burns

Quinn's character is described as a fan favorite, who's funny, crazy, and scary. While the only scary thing about Burns may be his lack of teeth, the rest is spot on.

Rick Flag - Jonathan Toews

Every team needs somebody in charge.

Flag is tabbed as the all-business leader of the Suicide Squad; sounds a lot like Toews to the Chicago Blackhawks, no? Captain Serious' notorious work-first approach has become his most recognizable trait as a player.

Killer Croc - Milan Lucic

Few players can impose their will physically like Lucic can, earning him the same reputation as Killer Croc. Thankfully, the new Edmonton Oilers bodyguard doesn't have any reptilian features, although if he did, that might help foes stay away from Connor McDavid.
