If you could merge two teams

[Ruggle]

Kuznetsov - Matthews - Nylander
Ovechkin - Tavares - Marner
Wilson - Backstrom - Oshie
Hyman - Kadri - Kapanen

Rielly - Carlson
Muzzin - Niskanen
Gardiner - Dermott

Anderson
Holtby

Colorado and Edmonton would still have no depth, but at least it would be a 2 line team.

Draisaitl - McDavid - Compher
Landeskog - Mackinnon - Rantanen
RNH - Soderberg - Nieto
Khaira - Jost - Calvert

Girard - EJ
Klefbom - Barrie
Nurse - Zadorov/Larsson
Cole/Sekera/etc.

Grubauer
Koskinen

I don't know if you can make a better top 6 combination between two teams (especially if you switch RNH and Compher around). However, 3rd/4th lines are just above average compared to normal NHL teams, and that defense is still meh.

Good lineup but I don't think EJ would be on the top pairing. Also, I think it needs to have a Gaudreau-MacK-Rants top line! Stick Captain Lando down on the second line with Monahan and Lindholm.

After thinking about it as well, imagine how annoying it would be for teams if Landy and Tkachuk were on the same line lol.

I would merge the Oilers with the sun.
