Personally I love the forward group, Danault and Faksa can take the tough matchups and give Duchene the easy ones. The only thing I don’t like about this team is the top pairing
I like how each forward line feels like the line it's meant to be - if that makes sense. Love that 3rd line.
I would put Ekholm over Sanheim.
I think this team makes the playoffs, but don't think they'd get past round 2 unless they just happen to go on a run.
I like Ekholm with Boqvist, a defensive Dman with offensive Dman. I usually like the idea of a top 6 with
speedster-offensive centre - powerforward
Sniper - 2 way centre - playmaker
Checking line with 3 - 2 way guys
Energy 4th line

Yeah, I can appreciate that. I like that structure. I'd say mine is probably (as I was coming up with it, I could see a number of different combinations, so take it with a grain of salt):
power forward - playmaker - sniper
sniper - 2-way - playmaker
speedster - checking - 2-way
energy - checking - energy
It certainly isn't bad. I bet it comes down to chemistry. This is a more realistic fantasy team unlike the ones people usually make with super team friendly contracts for elite stars like MacKinnon who should be making 10 mil., throw a bigger contract on the defense pairs and it raises the stock a bit like a Burns or a Josi.
