for coaching, I definitely like Weiland here.

Seibert, Brown and Lund look great for Lindsay compared to their counterparts. On the other hand, Green, Roy and Brylin look excellent for Erie.

Pierre Bouchard on a first pairing? MacIver on a 2nd? This could spell trouble. Those two should form a third pairing if here at all. Gotta go with Lindsay for the defensive corps edge.

In net, I'm a complete disbeliever in Bryzgalov, but Cechmanek looks like a stud at the AA level. However, Forbes is great too, so I don't think Cechmanek will steal a series or anything like that.

I feel bad that after advocating for a playoff, I've pretty much got caught up in the ATD and forgot about this

Pierre Bouchard on a first pairing? MacIver on a 2nd? This could spell trouble. Those two should form a third pairing if here at all. Gotta go with Lindsay for the defensive corps edge.

This is one of the two areas where I see Lindsay having the edge - I think my pairings are nicely balanced (although I'm wondering if Vlasic should get in there on the bottom pairing). I think the MacIver - Salei pairing would be better off as a third than a second.

The second edge I think is with Lindsay's bottom six goal scoring ability. On Erie, only Couture and Davidson ever contributed much offensively while Ingarfield, Brown, Pavelski, and Gendron all had decent scoring results
