I would run Barzal-McDavid-MacKinnon just to see it. Could you even literally see it???

hahhahah honestly with their blazing speed..! but i put stone because i wanted a little bit of grit on that top line. Plus Stone can battle in the dirty areas to create space and provide defensive stability.

I think Mackinnion plays with Crosby, they seem to be friends off the ice. I'd swap the 1st line wingers with the 2nd line wingers

Ellis for Parayko

Yeah I like the thinking there definitely. Similar to you I would have one of Stone, O'Reilly, and Couturier/Marner all on different lines for their defensive ability (the Crosby line is solid with all 3 guys). I would run Stone on the top line as well, but don't know if he can play his off wing. But I feel like all these guys can just figure that stuff out.

Agree with most of it but i think chychrun should be here

Tavares and Hamilton have no place here.

I agree Doughty is still relevant though.
