Should be a cake walk with Carey Price in net
5 shots 10 goalsPrice behind this defense / defensive forwards would be fine. Plus he would face like 5 shots per game.

I like it! That top line is just awesome. I'll do the same grading here but obviously high grades are harder because it's relative to every other team too, so players are better.Extremely happy with my team. Great Offense, Great Defense and great Goaltending. This is going to be fun.

Thanks, appreciate the feedback! Fiala has been playing RW this year btw and has excelled! And the 4th line can def hold its own against other teams 4th lines. Doing your teams now.I like it! That top line is just awesome. I'll do the same grading here but obviously high grades are harder because it's relative to every other team too, so players are better.
L1: This is awesome and I love every part of it. Tkachuk seems like the perfect compliment, you nailed it. A+ for this line from me!!!
L2: Here I don't love as much, Fiala's a LW, and I prefer Giroux not the wing now but I'll assume it works enough, just don't know if it's the best fitted line. B+ here but it'd be a B if all 3 weren't so productive this year.
L3: All guys who had big years this year, should be highly productive for a third line, A
L4: I think this line isn't the best fit for this challenge and I don't like the three Cs, it seems you thought shut down/depth but I think you would've been better going all skill again. It's going to get a C from me because I do understand the thought process and Eller had a big year but I just question it facing super lines.
D1: Awesome first pair, what's not to like. McDonagh isn't the best LD you could've had with Makar considering the aim of this challenge but I see nor Eason for this to not excel regardless. A
D2: Really solid shut down 2nd pair and should take pressure off Makar to just go crazy against teams depth. It gets an A- considering the names out there but it's really good for what it is!
D3: I like it as a third pair, seems sufficient for the competition if not extravagant. Not an Orlov fan but I'll give it a B+ because it's better than some 3rd pairs, and it's a good compliment.
G: I question if this tandem can get it done against elite teams but I love Andersen and think he'd be great behind this team, and it's serviceable enough. I think it's worth an A-, just because it isn't top notch but it'll do.
Overall: A- team, some question marks with the fits and think there were better players available, but I like the parts isolated and other than that 3rd line I really think it'd work. Honestly I'd swap you one of my extra RWs for one of your extra LWs and I think we'd both be better off. Well done, should push others teams!
Oh really, I had him listed as a LW still so thats my bad man! Sorry about that. I think thy can hold their own but relative to others I don't love it past Eller, I think it just could've been done a it better with who you picked. It's definitely your weakest point and I had to be hard with the grades for this. Sorry again about Fiala though, my fault for not knowing. I fixed my grades. If a guy has played the position then I won't dock points for it so I fixed it! Up to an A!!!Thanks, appreciate the feedback! Fiala has been playing RW this year btw and has excelled! And the 4th line can def hold its own against other teams 4th lines. Doing your teams now.

L1: Seems like a good solid 1st line and I like the Winnipeg connection. Smith isn't my favourite first line RWer but it'll do. I'm going to give it a B+ because there's better in the competition but take that as a positive because your depth is great!
L2: I like this a lot for a second line and it'll be horrible to play against. Really like the makeup and giving it an A as far as second lines go.
L3: Not a fan of Duchene but I like Bertuzzi and Bailey and think it's a good third line for this, it'd also get an A as far as third lines go here.
L4: I like the idea of this line and it'll be reliable, and it is a fourth line. I give it a B+ but without Beauvillier it'd go up to an A-
D1: Monster first pair, A+
D2: I'm not loving it in comparison to other 2nd pairs in the competition but y this competitions standards its another A-!
D3: I like the makeup here and I think both are perfect third pairing D for this comp, A
G: Vasi is a beast, A, it'd be an A+ only if you literally had another top notch goalie as backup for me, so A is great!!!
Overall: A grade here for me, well built team and looks tough to beat! I don't love some of the players but I'll give them credit because I know how good they are. I personally prefer @Makaveli's team but this one just as better depth
L1: I like the Malkin-Svech connection, but don't really like the fit with Parise here. I feel like there were better options there. All in all it is a solid line though. B+
Parise-Malkin-Svechnikov
Gaudreau-Karlsson-Bjorkstrand
Hornqvist-Hischier-Rust
Mangiapane-Henrique-D. Brown
Josi-McAvoy
Theodore-Fox
Dunn-Johnson
Hellebuyck
Crawford
I really like this team, some great experience and some youth, high skill all around and puck possession beasts, we went all in on skill. Lights out goaltending, unreal defence and the forwards ooze skill, I'm pumped.
The third line was extremely hard to build, though Rust going above a ppg helps for sure. Just need to find someone other than Hornqvist or Hischier I've felt like. Thanks for this! Maybe I swap Hornqvist and Parise, do you think that's better?L1: I like the Malkin-Svech connection, but don't really like the fit with Parise here. I feel like there were better options there. All in all it is a solid line though. B+
L2: Tones of skill, Gaudreau and Bjork is a great playmaker - sniper combo. Karlsson is a great fit between them. A
L3: Not a fan of this line. All good players, just think there were better options for a 3rd line in this kind of tournament. C-
L4: Good shutdown line A
D1: Amazing pairing, love it! A+
D2: I love these two players although it is a very inexperienced pair. A-
D3: Solid for a 3rd pair, not amazing but not def not horrible. B+
G: Hellebuyck is great, Crawford is a good back up. A+
Overall grade A. Very good team, the main thing that brings you down is the 3rd line.
I agree that my 4th is my weak point, but my top 9 makes up for it I guess.Oh really, I had him listed as a LW still so thats my bad man! Sorry about that. I think thy can hold their own but relative to others I don't love it past Eller, I think it just could've been done a it better with who you picked. It's definitely your weakest point and I had to be hard with the grades for this. Sorry again about Fiala though, my fault for not knowing. I fixed my grades. If a guy has played the position then I won't dock points for it so I fixed it! Up to an A!!!
I actually do like that better. Horns would be a great fit with those 2, it also makes your 3rd line a lot better as well!The third line was extremely hard to build, though Rust going above a ppg helps for sure. Just need to find someone other than Hornqvist or Hischier I've felt like. Thanks for this! Maybe I swap Hornqvist and Parise, do you think that's better?
L1: I don't like Schwartz but damn the defensive prowess is just unreal, for sure an A. An A+ has to be like @Makaveli's first line but its really close. I think I honestly prefer Hyman here.

Definitely, your top line is just unreal manI agree that my 4th is my weak point, but my top 9 makes up for it I guess.
Here's all the looks I've thought about, what's everyones favourite?:I actually do like that better. Horns would be a great fit with those 2, it also makes your 3rd line a lot better as well!
