My Dream Team

Interesting team. That 3rd line would be fun to watch, same with Heiskinen-EK. Although I think Heiskinen's offense would be somewhat handicapped playing with Karlsson because they both love to join the rush and sometimes hang in the corner more than a typical defenseman.

Yeah definitely agree. The D-core is certainly on the offensively minded side, but you could even move Chychrun with Karlsson instead as well. You're right though Heiskanen and Karl each probably deserve to have their own pairings.

Jeff Skinner....now that's a name I wouldn't expect on a dream team close to the cap

Lmao yeah luckily I didn’t factor cap into this at all. Skinners edgework and skating is just...😍

So that’s why.

Actually I think his skating at times hinders him, host skating style I should say*. When you want him he some times enters the zone or trys to play near the boards where his skates point in 2 directions, I think that at time this slows him down and when ppl hit him he is alot more likely to lose possession of the puck vs times when he drives hard to the net and uses his shot to force the defenders back.
Almost like he tries to emulate the Eichel style when you slow the game down but he doesn't have the hands of the burst of speed that Eichel has.
