Stone>Scheifele

Have to imagine Hart is the starter

parayko, letang, weber, rielly>doughty

Can't see a 37 year-old Bergeron playing in a top-six role tbh. He'd fit really well on that fourth line in a shutdown role with Coots and RoR though.

He would still back up Carey, would be there over Binnigton though

Stone absolutely needs to be in that lineup and Doughty absolutely needs to be out of it.

Thats very fair!
I just hate seeing people without him on the team at all tho, like age is less a factor for a player of his type (smarts and vision) vs guys like Mcdavid who are gonna drop quickly when they hit their 35+ years (speed and agility)

No Barzal?

Perhaps yea

Disagree with Letang & Weber, maybe Parayko gets there and I think Doughty is better defensively then Rielly.

Just no Doughty and Hart over Binnington.

Only kept him there to keep the Marchand - Crosby - Berg line going since they have been very good.

Was going to have him over Tavares but was too lazy to Create a player.

I still think being able to keep up with an ever-increasing NHL pace has considerable merit. I suspect Bergeron is among a small group of players that will see NHL icetime into their early 40s over the next decade or so: I think the game becoming faster and much more skill-oriented is going to force a lot of earlier retirements.

I don't think there are going to be enough advancements in the actual materials engineering and sports science sides to sustain league-average players playing past the age of 34. In a few years, I wouldn't be surprised if there's a likelihood of a large, professional senior league that many of these guys are going to wind up in after their 10ish years of NHL playing time. There's only so many scouting and/or management roles available from the junior level to professional level. How many of these guys are ready to be out of professional hockey by their early-to-mid thirties?

Stone easily in the lineup and hart should be on the team

Times are a changin, but as of rn Bergy should be a 4th liner on team canada at the lowest (if not keeping him and marchy together for fun

Reilly >>> Doughty.

id make the defence,

Chabot - Pietrangelo
Theodore - Hamilton
Rielly - Makar

Hart>>>> Binnington

I agree that Rielly comes in for Doughty, but Rielly - Makar isn't the best mix imo. Both a bit weaker on the D side. I'd go Chabot - Petro, Rielly - Hamilton, Theodore - Makar
