Consider this a sequel to my earlier post, "creating a team based on a season preview video from 2019-20". You can look at that team here:

Which team out of these two would win?
This is based off of "EVERYONE IS HERE: Griffin's 2018-19 NHL Season Preview" by Griffin "Grifflix/Griffiti" Schroeder. you can check that video out here:

What Griff had to say about each player:
John Gibson: "(The Ducks) will only go as far as the newly paid Gibson will take them."
Alex Galchenyuk: "I do like the Galchenyuk addition to get him out of the jungle."
Carter Hutton: "Has to be more like 2016-17 Cam Talbot and less like 2017-18 Scott Darling."
Derek Ryan: "You can trust him with EVERYTHING."
Sam Bennett: "Needs to have a big year (x3)."
Samuel Girard: "Him alongside Tyson Barrie is nice..."
Mattias Janmark: (The Stars) stole him from (the Red Wings) and when he's used right, he's a very valuable player."
jason Spezza: "NOT a 4th liner, and this may be his last chance to show something in a contract year."
Sasha Barkov: "Pavel Datsyuk reincarnate."
Johnathan Huberdeau: "Can do magic things when he's healthy next to Barkov."
Mike Matheson: "Could have a breakout year behind Aaron Ekblad and Kieth Yandle."
Mat Barzal: "Can spin on a dime for infinite time and glides with the elegance of a coked-out speed skater."
Pavel Buchnevich: "Hopefully David Quinn uses him the way he should be used. THAT CF% REL."
Shayne Gostisbehere: "Ghost Bear will remain one of my favorite Offensive Defenseman to watch."
Travis Sanheim: "Mix in another year of growth for him and Robert Hagg and (The Flyers') D-core is shaping up to be rock-solid for years."
Jack Johnson: "Enjoy him, the only defenseman that (Jim Rutherford) and only (Jim Rutherford) can fix."
Tyler Bozak: "Shores up a solid pool of centers."
Robby Fabbri: "I'm very interested to see how he does after missing the last season and a half. That's another 20 goals if he get's up to speed."
Colton Parayko: "Still a stud, and that contract is NICE."
Paul Stastny: "Bringing in Stastny is nice for adding veteran presence up top..."
