I picked Colorado only because Sharks got confused and drafted the wrong Fleury.

Tough matchup. It's pretty easy to offset a lot of things. Both teams seem to have a pretty similar 2nd Line concept of 2x speedster wingers flanking some guy. Avs Top line is kinda shaky and basically just Malkin carrying whoever...but Carter also isn't Malkin. 3rd lines are both pretty good, but i like that little infusion of Bobby Ryan potential offense with Danault a little bit better. 4th lines feel like a wash.

Biggest thing is that SJS defence. Seabrook is an albatross contract and not very good anymore, but it's still 3 solid Top-3D and a guy who is clinging to Top-4D status for this year at least. More or less on par with Carlo for the moment, and the rest of the SJS blueline is a little bit better.

I should probably hammer Sharks for having garbage goaltending though. idk.
