This one, not a huge fan of Bowie and Makarov together.
EDIT: even at 28 teams this is an above average top-6, wow!
6 of your 1st 9 picks being top 6'ers will do that for ya.

So...
Roberts-Stastny-Makarov
Moore- Bowie-Cournoyer
Or
Moore-Stastny-Makarov
Roberts-Bowie-Cournoyer
?

A Roberts -Bowie - Cournoyer line is too soft for my liking and suffers from a serious lack of playmaking. I love the Moore-Stastny-Makarov line, but Bowie and Cournoyer really needs Moore to function.
Yeah...hadn't thought of that, but Moore and Stastny are the only really good playmakers in that top-6. I guess he could go with:
Moore - Stastny - Cournoyer
Roberts - Bowie - Makarov
...and use Makarov as the primary playmaker on the second line. Ehhhh...it's not ideal. Nalyd's team this time around reminds me a lot of the ATD#8 team we built together - overflowing with offensive talent, but not really a cohesive machine. Of course, we made the conference finals with that team, so the comparison here is hardly insulting.
There is only one puck to go around, and based on games I have seen, Martinec* is best used as the brain of the PP, which is why I'd split the trio to create 2 dangerous PP units. But that's just my $0.02.

Kariya - Lemieux - Bobrov
????? - Federko - Mikhailov
On a scale of 1 to "Come at me, bro", how well does Bobrov fit the line I put him on?
So.... does anyone buy Starshinov as a left wing on a second line?
I think it's a pretty big stretch. I understand completely why you want to move him to the left wing, but I don't think one source listing him as a left wing in one season is enough to convince me, given how sketchy the information on Soviets from that period is. If you can find multiple sources, I might warm up to the idea.
Is the differance between the 25th goalie and the 40th really that big? is it worth wasting a pick right now , to be honest I'm wondering about the importance of goalie , we're talking about the top 40 of a position , so they are probably all good enough to do the job.
If you believe Bernie Morris can be a center (as far as I know, he only has that one season with the AST to prove that, though there may have been more, I just don't remember), then Starshinov can be a LW.
Any thoughts on who I should make captain?
Well... Mario Lemieux is now the muscle and defensive conscience of your first line... which is probably not a good use of him.
Did Bobrov ever actually play on the right wing anyway? I thought he was strictly a left wing. I could be wrong about this one.
I'll be kind to you and look up your team in the lineup thread.
Next time, I'm not going to go through the effort, so please post your lineup here.
Anyway, your team doesn't really seem to have a natural captain yet, but a lot of lesser leaders. Olmstead, Sittler, Geoffrion, and Robinson would all be fine assistant captains. Of the guys you have so far, I'd say Olmstead and Robinson are probably the best choices for C.
Sorry about that, got sidetracked at work as soon as I was making the post.
I was looking up previous ATD team and noticed Litzenberger was used as captain a couple times. Not really that important. It was just a question that was on my mind. Thanks for the advice everyone.
If he's strictly LW, then it's news to me. I was told he played both wings, and he's listed as a winger in last year's ATD thread.
