tough choice for the pens

obviously lemieux > crosby, but not sure that would be worth the trade

jagr over sheary?
coffey over maatta?
stevens over sheary?

personally, think I'd have to go with coffey. It would just be the biggest upgrade imo.

Welcome back Doug Harvey, GTFO whoever is the 1st LD (probably Nathan Beaulieu).

Other candidates would be :
Henri Richard (for 2nd C Tomas Plekanec)
Larry Robinson for exact same person as above
Dickie Moore for 1LW (Max Pacioretty)
Jean Beliveau for 1C (Alex Galchenyuk)
Maurice Richard for 1RW (Brandon Gallagher)


I just think the biggest improvement is on 1st LD.

For the Habs fans choosing Harvey, didn't they just dump a guy who plays a similar game (puck-carrying D). Knowing what we're working with behind the bench, I think Robinson is the choice. Big Bird + Weber....that's a world of hurt for opposing forwards.

Well... the guy who'll play with Weber will either be a playmaking D (Markov) or a puck-moving/skater D (Beaulieu). So whatever happens, you have a guy who plays a bit like Harvey with Weber.

But yeah, Robinson and Weber would be a... hurtful pairing.

Orpik has played quite a bit with Carlson, so if you consider that our "top pair" then swap him for Stevens...

Ovechkin - Kuznetsov - Oshie
Burakovsky - Backstrom - Vrana/Connelly
Johansson - Eller - Williams
Winnik - Beagle - Wilson

Stevens - Carlson
Alzner - Niskanen
Schmidt - Orlov

Holtby
Grubauer

Why would Richard and Robinson be switched out for Plekanic? Both were better then Galchenyuk

Replace Kronwall with Lidstrom. Easy decision.

Nyquist-Nielsen-Abdelkader
Zetterberg-Larkin-Mantha
Tatar-Athanasiou-Sheahan
Helm-Glendening-Ott

Lidstrom-DeKeyser
Smith-Green
Marchenko-Ericsson

Mrazek
Howard

At the allstar break, switch Tatar with Zetterberg in order to keep Z's minutes down and fresh for the playoffs

The Best defenseman of his generation IMO

I'd take Jean Béliveau.Get that big elite #1 center after decades of drought in that department.
