You're all over the place here. So, I'll just ask one question. In what world is Brady Tkachuk better than Brad Marchand, Josh Norris better than Patrice Bergeron, and Alex DeBrincat better than David Pastrnak?

Drai-Mcdavid-Kane is the second best behind avs first line

Forsberg - Johansen - Duchene is NSH's 1st line

not sure how it's 31/32 when it had two 40+ goal-scorers on it last season

Bergy, as good as he is, is expiring. This makes his line drop a lot. TKachuk, Norris, Cat are all growing and trending up. I could see them production a bigger combined point total than MBP

Huge Habs bias. Slaf hasn’t even played an NHL game yet. That line is too young. Their time will come. Taking Blues, Knights and quite a few others over them.

I don't think Holtz -- Hughes -- Bratt have ever taken a shift together

NJD's top line last year was Sharangovich -- Hughes -- Mercer
Bratt usually plays with Hischier
Holtz only played a handful of games, mostly in bottom-six

Projecting that as line 1

Habs line should be bottom 3 if not the worst. They’ve got potential sure, but not gonna be a middle of the pack first line with a below average 1st line center and 2 guys with minimal NHL experience.

habs bias? nooooo cant be

leafs line was the best first line last year and if im not mistkaen played together more than any of the lines ahead of them

Id think Suzuki and Caufield are going to get 70-80 pts, and if slaf gets 1st line minutes, 40-60 pts

Teuvo doesn't play on Carolina's top line. Jarvis does. And he's arguably better

I tried my, best. Like everyone else, I don't watch every NHL team, so sorry, I messed up

Nah, that line would be the best in the NHL by far.

All good. Not criticizing. I'm a Canes fan, I'm more than used to knowing that no one watches us but Canes fans.

There is no chance Johnson is playing 1C in Columbus.

Very little chance that happens IMO. Suzuki got 61 was last year, so there’s a chance he hits 70, but Caufield had 43, there’s little chance he gets a 30 point jump in his second season. Slaf had 10 points in 31 liiga games last year. No way he gets anywhere near 60 in the NHL next year, if he makes the canadiens, I see a 25-40 point season.

good thing hockey is about more then just offence
1st line is also marchand-bergeron-debrusk and i still bet money that they could lock up any 1st line ottawa lines up which btw batherson is their RW1

Stützle will be there, not Norris, but I agree with that placement. Also I think Cat is playing LW, so it'll be Giroux not Tkachuk
