GOALTENDERS
Tuukka Rask ($3.500m)
Anton Khudobin ($0.875m)
As you can see, they lack a true elite forward. Lucic is great, but with the number of penalty minutes he puts up, it will only hinder his team in the playoffs. While they have some talent in Krejci, Weiss, Cammalleri and Bergeron, it does not even compete with the first two lines of the Rangers which include All-Stars Alexander Ovechkin, Brad Richards, Ryan Getzlaf, and more elite talent level forwards. The bottom six for them is tough and gritty, granted, however with the lack of scoring that will be achieved (due to the lack of elite scoring and forward talent), it will be hard for them to score goals on King Henrik. Their defence looks pretty solid, however with the inexperience and unproven starter in Rask and the questionable back-up in Anton, they are bound to make mistakes in the playoffs, and give up easy goals. Our defence plays beautifully with our All-Star Goaltenders who have both been close to Stanley Cup (with one having held it up!). This will be a close one, however we all know how important goalies are, and the goalie tandem of the Rangers far outweighs the young tandem (remember TO's young tandem and how well they performed) of Boston.

[/FIELDSET]
To start off we have a perfect mix of top-6 forwards who can score, hit and shut-down. With Ovechkin being fed by with Havlat and Richards, this line will hit and score consistently. Then our second line is much the same with Getzlaf, being paired with the 30+ goal scorer in Vrbrata and our Captain in Ryan Callahan. Our third line is a perfect mixture of size and grit (Boyle), speed (Krieder) and scoring (Andrei). Our 4th line is tough but can also pot goals to provide some depth scoring. As Hagelin as a reserve, he is capable of filling any void when an injury occurs. Our defence is looking outstanding too. With 4 #1 Defenders. We have McDonagh paired with Marc Staal and they form a solid duo. Then we have Jaybo with Goligoski who are both all-star defenders. Our third pairing form a more shut-down role. Finally, our all-star goaltending duo of King Henrik and J.S. Giguere will propel us in the playoffs. It's not like Henrik ever falters, but if he did, the J.S. would revel the opportunity to play for another Cup on an extremely competitive team.
