Europe vs North America

[PatrikBerglund]

If Europe were to face North America in a 7 game series, where both team actually gave it their all and not only goofed around (All star game style), what do you think the result would be?

Not only putting together the top point-getters, but balanced with role-players, defensive stars - also pairing up players with proven chemistry etc.

Fitting handedness among defencemen and also picking the best is hard. Make the decisions you feel will benefit the team the most.

I will post my Europe, feel free to post your own and also team North America.

Team Europe:

Kucherov-Malkin-Draisaitl

Ovechkin-Backstrom-Panarin

Pettersson-Zibanejad-Pastrnak

Aho-Barkov-Rantanen


Hedman-Josi

Lindholm-Karlsson

Heiskanen-Dahlin


Vasilevskiy
Shesterkin
Lehner

I'm not sure if 12 games from Shesterkin is enough to beat out Tukka Rask for a spot? Not sure I'd go with such young players on my 3rd pair.. maybe more established guys like OEL and Provorov?

This would be really cool. Together with a U20/23 version of the same thing during off days. 14 days of the best vs. the best hockey...
