In the interest of standarization, each GM can post its extra skaters and special teams and details of their use.​

So looking at out top lines, I think Seattle has a pretty clear edge

Ftorek looks to be a far stronger offensive player than Bodnar. I would like to think Stastny and Lala are similarily ahead of their opponents on Detroit. But it would be quite the challenge to make the case.

On our second lines Brunette vs Sanderson appears to be an easier comparison to make

Brunette
10 year VsX 58.3

Sanderson
Does not rank on either points VsX leaderboard

I'm inclined to pick the more durable Brunette here.

Jordan vs Carpenter
Feels closer to me, Carpenter peaked with one season in Washington with a 5th AST vote & 7th in goals.

Jordan was probably the second best offensive forward during Bowie's time pre-NHA, noted balanced offensive player.

Hockey Historysis: Herb Jordan for a good set of quotes and discussion surrounding his career

He just feels better than Carpenter to me, while Carpenter had one season as a top 5 C in his career. It seems like Jordan was top 2 for his entire career.

I'd give the edge to Harris over Colville, longer career seemed to peak higher.

Looking at bottom sixes very briefly, the first thing you will note about the Kraken is our identity. All 6 players are tough as hell.

Knuble - 33 ESP/82
Grier - 28 ESP/82
Malhotra - 24 ESP/82
Hecht - 40 ESP/82
Rucchin - 39 ESP/82
Murphy 36 ESP/82

Patey - 24 ESP/82
Burridge - 33 ESP/82
Atkinson - 40 ESP/ 82
Cammalleri 37 ESP/82

The best even strength scorers Detroit has in the bottom 6 are on the 4th line and can't play half decent defence.

The Kraken's bottom 6 features 6 players who can play hard, take hits, make hits and contribute offensively.
