People really shouldn't be voting Vancouver here.
Bobrovsky has been atrocious this year while Hart has been very good.
Jones--who's playing on his off side--is paired with the corpse of Doughty.
Noah Dobson, who had no business being in the NHL this year, is on the second pairing.
Luke Schenn, one of the worst players in the NHL now, is on his third pairing.
Mittelstadt, his third line centre, is a guy who spent the last half of the season being mediocre in the AHL.
Colorado, on the other hand, doesn't have a single player who's playing on a line or pairing way above their ability, has the best centre depth, an excellent goalie, oh, and the best defenceman in the NHL.
Even their line constructions are better. Each player has a clear role, while Vancouver's first line has duplicated styles in Huberdeau and Gusev while their second line has duplicated styles in Olofsson and Toffoli.
Jesus Christ, people.
To counter point you:
He could just move Kunin to 3rd line C and then I'd prefer Monahan/Krejci to Schenn/Schmaltz. Tierney and Kunin are both guys who really don't move a needle for me. Schmaltz is one of the bigger reasons Arizona cratered in the 2nd half, he disappeared.
Monahan is the shooter on the top line and Huberdeau does it all, the 2nd line has a playmaker to feed Olofsson or Toffoli, I don't see it as bad as you do.
Hart has been better than Bobrovsky but also...Florida D is eek, Alain Vigneault's system really benefits Hart's style.
You say Colorado has nobody playing on a line above their ability, Will Butcher isn't a 2nd pairing guy. Marino was great in the first half but he tailed off for me in the 2nd half, so that pairing as a whole scares me. Dobson also scares me, but Brodin is pretty stable at least. Ryan Pulock isn't really a guy who makes sense with Roman Josi.
I get a lot of crap for Pavelski on line 2 (mind you, as a C)...Nick Foligno is only line 2 in 5v5 minutes because he's a 3rd liner in reality.
You just said Graves having played limited off-hand is fine, Seth Jones could play off-hand and he'd still be a great defender. Doughty on a new team could inspire him (I'm not the biggest Doughty guy anymore too but playing with Jones wouldn't hurt him at all).
Points I agree on: Dobson/Fantenberg/Schenn is a yikes 4/5/6 D. Josi is my 2nd best D right now in the league. Hart has been better than Bob. I felt it was close but Vancouver had better upside, better capability to score goals, better PP due to the forward talent. Vancouver has 7 impact forwards, Colorado has about 4-5 depending on the night.
