Give me Seider or Hronek over Lindholm please. For european D . And Dunn instead of Toews for North America. Anyway..vote NA

 

[authentic]

North America easily for me. You can’t beat that top end talent in forward and D

 

[banks]

It's team NA. It's a bit closer than I thought it would be when I opened the thread. That top 9 forwards for Europe is pretty incredible. But it's still NA.

 

[Sasha Orlov]

Karlsson isn’t enough to make this EU unfortunately

 

[34]

North America

 

[Ace Card Bedard]

Loaded with top-end talent on both teams.
Whichever team is better coached would probably win.

"Too close to call."

 

[sadpanda]

Homer vote for Europe

 

[AhosDatsyukian]

Team Europe but not with Ullmark. Taking a fully healthy Vasi or Sorokin

 

[WhiskeyYerTheDevils]

Give me Seider or Hronek over Lindholm please. For european D . And Dunn instead of Toews for North America. Anyway..vote NA

And Slavin over both Dunn and Toews

Also, no way does Reinhart make team North America lol

Pastrnak - Draisaitl - Kucherov

I'm still saying NA, but that would be just an obscene line to face off against.

 

[Kerberos]

Pastrnak - Draisaitl - Kucherov

An actually terrifying line. Probably the best combination of skillsets you can put together in hockey right there without including McDavid.

 

[lipstickjunkie]

Would be a hell of a series, but probably NA.

Gotta keep Matthews and Marner together though. They can be the 2nd line. Throw McDavid and MacKinnon together on the top line.

 

[Lambo]

Of course, Team NA is the favorite. But when I look at the "Best on Best" history, it's never as clear as always thought. I would say on big ice Team Europe has a good chance of winning.

 

[David Suzuki]

Crosby on the 4th line made me sick but NA

 

[FlappyGiraffe]

Hellebuyck behind that D would be insane, team NA

 

[Bouboumaster]

NA 10/10

Team Europe is obviously solid, but Team North America is stacked af

 

[biturbo19]

Biggest thing this North America merger would do, is unite an actually elite goaltender (or selection of several) with the crazy depth Canada has down the middle up front.

Some peculiar choices, lines, and pairings overall on both ends...but i'm just gonna overlook that and say it's North America. But at this sort of insanely high level...it's really just a game of bounces. Could go either way.

 

[Albatros]

Talent is sufficiently abundant, so factors like chemistry and coaching probably would emerge as more significant.

 

[Voight]

And Slavin over both Dunn and Toews

Also, no way does Reinhart make team North America lol

How so he's one of the best players in the league this year.

 

[gritdash60]

It's team NA. It's a bit closer than I thought it would be when I opened the thread. That top 9 forwards for Europe is pretty incredible. But it's still NA.

This is the truth

 

[WhiskeyYerTheDevils]

How so he's one of the best players in the league this year.

He's having a great season, but that doesn't make him one of the best players. He's shooting at 28% lol

 

[Voight]

He's having a great season, but that doesn't make him one of the best players. He's shooting at 28% lol

I get your point, but he's coming off two good seasons. So it's not a bad pick.

He'd make it over Bedard anyways, and I say that as a Blackhawks fan

 

[Honest M]

Stone and Stamkos ahead of Bedard, Marner/Reinhart ?

Woted Europe, maybe room for Kopi big dude still great. hard to choose whom to replace.
Forsberg and Kopitar might work well..

 

[bobholly39]

I still think Team Canada would beat Team World in 2024. So I definitely voted for Team North America here.
