*Notes* Taylor is playing the point on my first power play unit. Leswick is playing on our dedicated checking line but will see heavy time as a shadow against top right wings.

Harvey vs Bourque, I mentioned that matchup months ago in January when you picked him ahead of Harvey

Good luck to you, I'll be back later to start the discussion

I've got a big meeting tomorrow and then I can start to dedicate some time to this

Been stupid busy, I think voting is supposed to happen soon so a few quick points.

Why Edmonton should win this series
1) Far better second line
2) Better defensive play and physicality in their top 6
3) Toe Blake is quite easily the better coach
4) A defense pretty much on par with Amarillo

The confusing part to me is Amarillo's bottom 6, it looks like one pure scoring line and one checking line?

But I believe TDMM has said Brian Rolston was never anything super special at ES

Does Ed Litzenberger belong on a first unit ATD PK in a draft this size?
