<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Bcarlo25</b></div><div>those are all top six players. what you might have an argument for is there not being enough first line players and them basically having four second liners in their top six. that being said, frederic is playing like a first line guy right now. he's kind of being slotted into the jack of all trades role. They're going to have to trot out a second line center on the top line out of necessity, but given how strong their blue line and goaltending is, I don't think that even starts the discussion of knocking them out of contender status. Afterall, they are second in the league in points.

Another thing to point out is that there is a pretty big emphasis placed on style of play and culture in boston. it's one of the reasons they're so good. so while some might say, "Charlie Coyle as a first line center, LOL," he might be a pretty good fit for boston. He's 29th among centers in the league in points, before going through and filtering out the guys listed as centers that are definitely wingers (looking at you stamkos), and in boston I think they want their top line center to be a guy they trust with tough matchups more so than just filling the net.

they aren't the runaway favorites like they were last year, but contenders? come on. of course they are. vegas, who tends to know what they're doing has them with the third strongest odds.</div></div>
I would be more worried about the Defensive core than the Top6. Florida proved last year that all they had to do was forecheck our Dmen aggressively and they’ll turn the puck over. McAvoy and Lindholm folded under heavy pressure in their own zone and became turnover machines. Which ever head coach we play against in the first round would be a moron not to exploit this.
