Greening-Smith-Neil.
I think the criteria for selecting 3:3 players should be:
1. Speed so as not to allow odd man rushes by the opponent, and to generate odd man rushes for the team.
2. Sound defensive skill to defend when opponent has the puck
3. Strong puck possession skills to maintain greater control of the puck and time with the puck.
For those reasons I would prefer the following players:
Turris, MacArthur, Karlsson
Pageau, Lazar, Ceci (and sometimes Hoffman)
Backups :
Zibanejad, Michalek, Methot
Must sit are:
Legwand, Smith, Phillips, Cowen, Wiercioch, Ryan, Neil, Chiasson, Gryba, Borowiecki
Can't say I agree with Ryan being a must sit, he is good in the offensive zone and would excel with space to get his shot off, not to mention he is okay in the defensive zone.
