If the goaltending gap wasn’t as big I’d vote Blues but it is so Avs

Is this still a homer vote?

Yes, I demand I revote

You have some of the oddest takes on players I've seen here.

What gap is there between Dubnyk and Fleury? They're in the same tier if not an edge to Dubnyk.

Last season Fleury had a +8.21 and Dubnyk a -7.55 GSAA. Yikes.

Top Line - STL
2nd Line - COL
Bottom 6 - COL
Top Pair - STL
2nd Pair - COL
Depth D - STL
Goaltending - COL

Pretty close. Not a fan of Dubnyk, but I think I have to go with Colorado here. I just don't like how he arranged his lines. If he had Kessel with Malkin instead of DeBrincat or Zadina, I'd probably give them the edge on 1st and 2nd forward lines. I just don't like the Blues scoring depth at all.

 

[North Cole]

Bottom 6 on St.Louis is hot garbage. You would have to get the top line D out there in order to salvage anything out of those minutes...

Pretty bad 3rd pair for Col. I think they would be useable on home ice. Gave STL the edge on D, but that fwd group is seriously uninspiring. Dubnyk doesnt do much for me either.

Voted Colorado and then saw they are getting smoked.

 

[bleedblue1223]

It should be Colorado here, not that close IMO.

The McDonaugh-Subban paring really stands out at first glance, if that's all you give it I guess.
