Protect three players from each division

[JFG]

In a weird turn of events the NHL is transformed into a four team league. The teams are; Team Atlantic, Team Metropolitan, Team Central, and Team Pacific.

The rosters will be decided through a draft but beforehand the teams can choose to protect, in total, one goalie, one defenseman and one forward out of all the team rosters that today make up the division each team is named after.

Which three players would you choose for each division team?

[Spade]

McDavid, Doughty, Quick

HMs to Ekman-Larsson, Vlasic and Brodie. If the cap still exists, I might even favour their contracts over Doughty's.

 

[GoJetsGo55]

Kane
Benn
Seguin/Toews

Kane

Stupid Blackhawks

 

[caymanmew]

Bergeron
Karlsson
Price

 

[Bouboumaster]

Price
Karlsson
Bergeron? Kucherov? Matthews?

 

[Uber Coca]

Price, Karlsson and Bergeron.

 

[KPower]

I love Bergeron as much as the next guy but no way a 31 year old gets protected.

 

[DonskoiDonscored]

Wait why would it be decided through a draft? Why not just take the best players from in the division?

 

[LordNeverLose]

Crosby
Letang
Schneider

Eichel
Karlsson
Price

Kane
Subban
Crawford

McDavid
Doughty
Jones


For whatever reason I decided to ignore contracts but not ignore age.

[JT Kreider]

I'd protect Holtby over Schneider as he is 3-4 years younger and more playoff proven.

[Allan92]

For this coming season my list would be

METRO (strong pool of goalies)

Crosby
Faulk
Lundqvist

ATLANTIC (toughest choice of the four)

Eichel
Hedman
Price

CENTRAL (worst goalie pool of the four)

Kane
Pietrangelo
Crawford

PACIFIC (easiest choice of the four)

McDavid
Doughty
Talbot


Based on these cores, my money is on the Central
