I'd replace Brannstrom with Zub. He's the only Ottawa D man with a + rating... which is pretty nuts since he's on a team with a goal differential of -42.
Definite nit pick here but i'd have demko over markstrom in the starters position as he has been wayyyy better then markstrom this year. Also i'd go Schmidt over Brannstrom

.914 sv% for demko .909 for markstrom on a better defensively team. Demko is at a +3.4 Expected Goals saved compared to markstrom at a -3.8 Markstroms expected save perectange 0.05 Lower then it should be compared to demkos +0.03 Demko has a WAR 0.57 Compared to markstroms -0.63. So yes I am serious as the stats prove it
And not only do those stats prove it. Markstrom has been pulled more times this year then Demko

Markstrom is the only thing between Calgary and embarrassment most nights. Take away his post injury play and the games before that where he was playing half injured and his stats are much better. He rebounded last night showing his injury is probably recovered from. Game-by-game this year - Rough first game but responded with a shutout, .926, .906, .810 (bad games happen), another shutout (making up for the bad game), then started slumping a bit with .893, .885, .875 and then caught fire before his injury. .926, .971, .956, .909. Markstrom has stolen us 8 points and was damn close to stealing a game we gave up 45 shots. The season would be long over if it wasn't for Markstrom. Thanks to him we were allowed to fire a coach and now can make a playoff push. Can't say Demko allowed his team to do the same as their season is over.
