Which Top6 do you take?

[jonlin]

Finland:

Laine - Barkov - Rantanen
Hintz - Aho - Teräväinen


USA:

Connor - Matthews - Kane
Miller - Eichel - Wheeler

Finland should have the defensive edge here and USA the offensive. What do you value more?

Love the Finnish team, but Matthews and Eichel. Only Canada can beat that center depth.

Yeah, The centers do tip the scale... Barkov and Aho are though both very good defensively, but US definately have the edge offensively. I`d think that Aho/TT playing on same team in the NHL also helps to even up this a bit.

Why Wheeler and Miller? Is the idea that they are the next best American wingers?

Guessing it was meant to make a more even match-up. Stick Gaudreau for example in for Miller and it's more lopsided

J.T Miller played 69games last year with 27g 45a and 72p. Over ppg with a +11. This year he is 11gp 3g 10a 13p. I also feel Miller is more defensively responsible than Gaudreau and plays a more feastier game. I actually tried to put up a Top6. Miller just seems to go under the radar here...

Swap Miller out for caufield by the time of the next olympiccs

Barkov and Aho are though both very good defensively

I see this myth is still circulating.

Myth? Barkov and Aho suck on defense according to you? Foggy in Toronto?

 

[Dekes For Days]

Myth? Barkov and Aho suck on defense according to you?

Yes, it's a myth. I didn't say they suck, but there's no reason to hold them up as something special in that regard, especially relative to the players you're comparing them to.

I don't see no edge for Finland here at all. They win in umlauts, but are worse at everything hockey related.

 

[Woncka]

Kane is the best player listed as well as the US having better centers; for that reason Id take the US

 

[HanSolo]

Shock

 

[Sky04]

USA no question.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Kane is the best player listed as well as the US having better centers; for that reason Id take the US

Was just about to say this. How Kane still manages to be underrated after all this time is a mystery.

 

[Filthy Dangles]

US. Think that ‘ainec’ thing might apply here too.

 

[jetsforever]

USA pretty easily

 

[hamzarocks]

Matthews >> Barkov
Eichel >> Aho
Connor > Laine
Kane > Rantanen
Miller >> Hintz
Wheeler < Teravinen

Replace wheeler with Gaudreau and every player in the top 6 is better for the Americans

 

[Snowsii]

Matthews >> Barkov
Eichel >> Aho
Connor > Laine
Kane > Rantanen
Miller >> Hintz
Wheeler < Teravinen

You got Matthews and Kane's ">" mixed up..

 

[Dekes For Days]

You got Matthews and Kane's ">" mixed up..

No, both are correct.

 

[Conspiracy Theorist]

Finland better 2-way game.

 

[Ryan Michaels]

Swap Miller out for caufield by the time of the next olympiccs

This is a parody account and we all fell for it, right?

 

[spiny norman]

Lopsided result.
