[Critical13]

A big Bless your heart to all of those who voted Meier

Awkward poll as the phrasing makes me wonder if I am choosing the top 5 players, or the ones I would start a team with.

I think a tie goes to the center so I went with the 4 proven centers as my first 4. Last one is a crap shoot - do you take Hughes or one of the more proven non center options.

The Barkov shout out thru me off as it seems young is Barzal and younger in the poll. And Barkov is older than excluded guys like Dras or Pasta.

 

[M88K]

In no order

Point
Petterson
Heiskanen
Chabot
Barzal

 

[Artorius Horus T]

Thanks for adding DeBrincat (no D Strome thou..).

My picks:
McAvoy RD
Marner RW
Heiskanen LD
Aho C
Debrincat LW

So, these lines

DeBrincat(R)-Aho(L)-Marner(R)
Heiskanen(L)-McAvoy(R)

Insane hockey IQ/sense combo with constant tremendous scoring threat, yet defensively sound if needed.
Lots of skating ability too. You can go either with first easy pass forwards from the
d, entry, or skating with the puck (quickly or slowly), entry, either by d-man or by f.

Great line up for the NHL today, physicality not necessary, if everything works like a clock (well oiled machine).

 

[MattMartin]

Kakko
Hughes
Pettersson
Laine
Heiskanen

Good list! No doubt Kakko is 1 or 2.

 

[jonlin]

Marner - Point - Rantanen
Heiskanen-Makar

Would be a fun lineup.

 

[PG Canuck]

Marner, Rantanen, Pettersson, Aho, Point

 

[Lemontree]

If I'm starting my team from scratch I went with (in no order):

Point and Aho at Center.
McAvoy and Heiskanen on D.
Marner on the wing.

 

[Connor McConnor]

No order, Heiskanen, Kakko, Rantanen, Aho and EP.

Could replace Kakko/EP with Hughes/Marner but it's my personal preference.

 

[North Cole]

Is Cal Tkachuk another brother?

Yep, you think Matthew is good? Wait until you see his younger twins - Ott Tkachuk and Cal Tkachuk.

 

[TomasHertlsRooster]

Meier-Barzal-Laine
Heiskanen-Makar

 

[Balthazar]

Marner - Point - Rantanen
Chabot - Makar

 

[JustinCase]

Went strictly offence

Marner
Rantanen
Point
Aho
Petersson

 

[bigbabybuda]

Hughes, Point, Petterson, Chabot, Makar

 

[The Beyonder]

Marner-Point-J.Hughes
Makar - Chabot

 

[psycat]

Marner
Point
Pettersson
Barzal
Makar

Obviously a lot of names in the same age span missing from the list, never saw Hughes, Kakko play so might have ranked them higher if I did.

 

[Sasso09]

Marner
Point
Rantanen
Hughes


Heiskanen

 

[Sasso09]

Laine - Petersson - Marner
Makar - Chabot
