Poll #5 makes this the Stammer hat trick for me.

 

[DFC]

Stammer. McDonagh next. Then it gets tough.

 

[The Macho King]

Best golfer on the team.

 

[Master P]

Best golfer on the team.

After the sweep yelling "four" takes on a whole new meaning

 

[God King Fudge]

It's Stamkos. Guy is still one of the most elite goal scorers in the league. Had to drag around the ghost of Ondrej Palat last season.

He's still got it.

 

[Krewe]

After # 6 is when it gets difficult. Our top 6 players are WAY above anyone else on the team, even though I would say the order of that top 6 is relatively clear outside of maybe hedman vs kuch

 

[God King Fudge]

Jumping the gun, but I personally think Cirelli is easy the #7. Easy. That guy is going to be beyond important for this team going forward. He doesn't produce like Johnson yet, but he's a threat SH while being incredible defensively. Could do real damage with top 6 linemates. Doesn't get tough for me until after 7.
