I think Kempe and Kyrou would compliment McDavid extremely well, that could be a killer line.
I also think a Forsberg Duchene Nylander line would compliment each other super well and be deadly.
The top 4 is ridiculous.
My only worries would be the 3rd line. Not sure if Tolvanen can hang, hopefully he can.
Is Haula a good penalty killer? Do you know if Blais is?
I have though that line of Forsberg - Duchene - Nylander would be very good for a while now, so I'm right there with ya. If he ever becomes available, I'd love for NSH to try and get him for their top line like this.
Tolvanen has actually looked pretty solid in his limited time this season -- he's at least showing that he's an NHLer even though he's not getting the right usage totally right now. I think he would be fine in this role.
As for Haula, he's been OK I guess -- nothing special. I can't really tell you about him on the PK considering our PK is absolutely dreadful. It's probably more on coaching and goaltending, but hard to say how he would be in another system. Don't know Blais well enough to give you an answer there.

Thanks! That's good to hear about Tolvanen. Also I'm sure the PK is all on the coaching and maybe the goaltending too, but you have some of the best shut down D as well as the former Norris winner and many good defensive forwards Johansen, Jarnkrok, Grimaldi, Sissons, etc. There's no reason that PK shouldn't be #1. But we've already talked about how we feel about your head coach.
I did an acgm earlier about a Nylander for Ellis 1 for 1 if the press rebuild, I think it would be a good trade to kick off the rebuild. I got mixed reviews. Some people would rather trade Ellis for futures, but you have Ekholm and Arvidsson that could be traded for some really good picks and prospects.

I'm not sure Poile would trade Ellis -- I think he's safe for now.
I think if a Nylander trade were to go down between these two teams it would be something like Arvidsson+ for Nylander, but I'm not quite sure what that + would be.
