Which team would win in a 7 game series (2021 playoffs)?

[hockeynorth]

We had a fantasy draft on the HF games section for the 2020-2021 season/playoffs. Please select the team from each matchup that would win in a 7 game series. I ask that you consider all aspects of the teams and analyze closely before voting (depth, stars, PP guys, PK guys, defence, growth, decline), or otherwise to abstain. This is the finals, round one occurred on the HF games section, we will be running another game this week if you'd like to join, we are actively looking for more GMs so we'd love to have you, we have a few GM spots open.

Completely unbiased poster here. I was originally going to go with Team 1 but this post swayed me. Really great logic and thinking at work here. Team 2 all the way!!!!11!!

Team 2 has Patrick Maroon, therefore they win the Cup by default, right?

Sometimes you just have to fight the power, man.

Really difficult decision. While I trust Helle over Shesty, I think Team 2 the only number 1 defender. I think Team 1 would have a very trustworthy PP and Team 2's PP might be slightly worse (still good). Their Pk's seem pretty even. In 5v5 action I expect the 1st lines to balance out because I don't think Crosby has too good of even strength support on the wings, but overall I think Team 1's first 3 lines are better than Team 2's.

Team 1
