IF 3 on 3 happens, which players would be hard to stop ?

[Bardown27]

With all the space that would be available, wich player(s) do you think would just dominate the 3 on 3 OT ?

Personnally i'd like to see Subban and Tarasenko.

PK Subban

 

[allan5oh]

Buff

 

[Bathcat]

Karlsson. Offensively gifted, top-notch outlet passer, high hockey IQ, and is quick enough to cover large expanses of open ice.

Next I would pick Duncan Keith.

 

[Nugey McNugeson]

I'd like to see what Crosby could do. Nuge and Gaudreau would excel too IMO

 

[MC Ride]

For the Flames, Gaudreau

 

[Church of Toews*]

Anyone on the hawks

 

[Smokey Thompson]

Patty Kane or Douglas Murray

 

[Machinehead]

Anyone who's not a goalie

 

[WhiskeyYerTheDevils]

Gaudreau, Kane, Datsyuk, Malkin, Crosby, Tarasenko, MacKinnon.

 

[Caps2Fan]

I'd like to see Kuznetsov. Would probably feel like playing on the big ice again. Dude has some moves.

 

[TheStranger]

Pretty much any team's top 3-4 players.

Duchene Mackinnon Landeskog O'Reilly Tanguay Iginla Barrie Johnson

 

[Charlie Conway]

A Rangers line of Hagelin, Kreider, and McDonagh would fare well with their speed. Nash would do well, too.

 

[crazyforhockey]

Canucks sedins and edler are always dangerous

 

[ChaoticOrange]

Hall/Eberle/Nuge/Yakupov/Schultz/Klefbom.

 

[KGL]

Kessel. He's so fast, he'd work very well with that extra open ice.

 

[PlaceboFan]

Krug, Spooner and Pastrnak looked pretty great when they had a chance to play 3 on 3 against Tampa. Three smaller, fast guys with skill.

 

[TNT87]

Patrick Kane immediately came to mind.

 

[The Zetterberg Era]

When he makes the NHL, Athanasiou has been a one man wrecking crew in this situation in Grand Rapids.

In the NHL I think the most dominant guys are actually going to be the D-man like Doughty, Subban, Keith and Karlsson. Their skating ability will be really hard for the other team to match. Those teams can go 2 forwards and one D and ice elite skaters with elite offensive and defensive ability. That is going to be the harder matchup.

Though having watched it at the AHL level, you will have guys that have this particular talent start to make their way into teams, just like shootout specialists when the shootout came in.

The incredible burners create a lot of chances, Grand Rapids actually generally rests Athanasiou through the opening part of overtime or gives him one shift but saves him for the 3 on 3 because he is lethal on it.

 

[ChocolateLeclaire]

Speed kills.

 

[MessierII]

Lots. It would make the game way more exciting. Every team has guys that would thrive.

 

[hoyster]

We could go all-in and put Malkin, Crosby and Letang on the ice

 

[tigervixxxen]

Lots. It would make the game way more exciting. Every team has guys that would thrive.

Exactly. Any skill guys. They will end up with more goals too, that part will have an impact.

 

[542365]

Tarasenko with time and space is lethal.

 

[PG Canuck]

Sedins and who cares who else.
