I'm really surprised that it's a tie 4-4 as I write this.

Team 1a has Crosby/ PLD down the middle as well as Charlie MacAvoy and Gibson.

the top 4 on team 1b can't match this and the rest is a wash IMO.

Orlov-McAvoy would have to play 45 minutes a night with the 2nd and 3rd pairings on St. Louis. That's the difference for me.

A team is more than just top-6 C's and goalies.

1B also has by far the best winger in Stone, a deeper D (Weber can carry a #1D load just as easily as McAvoy).

It's more balanced than 1A and has no holes.

I can't bet against Crosby. There's just something about Team A. They're brilliantly balanced, terrifically talented, and supremely skilled. I've never seen anything like it before.

Definitely not biased.

1B has much better D. That second pairing is excellent and Hronek tips the scales for me there.

You're underrating Montour and Gardiner. They're poor defensively but still effective defensemen. It's not like Brendon Dillon is on another level compared to them.

1B has a clearly better 2nd line and starting goaltender though.

Pretty much this and Charlie is the best Dman out of the 12.

the grouping of Jake Gardiner - Phillipe Myers
Andrej Sekera - Brandon Montour

playing lesser MPG isn't going to hurt 1A plus goaltending with Gibson here is really being overlooked as well.

Team A. Deeper down the middle, wingers may not be great and kinda shrimpy but kinda fit with the center depth in a coherent enough way. Both defence corps kinda yuck. But at least A has the goaltender who is going to bail that out, if anyone is.
