You have Dvorak twice (#10 and in HM).

I'd have Kyle Connor a bit higher.
Also, I think guys like Atkinson, Copp, Coleman will get some consideration just on PK alone.

Oops, I originally had Miller at center for whatever reason but I remembered he's mostly used on LW, so I added Dvorak in his center spot.

The wings are so deep that Connor may seem low, but in reality, I take all those above him on my team.

If Faulk plays this season like he did last season, he'll be ahead of like half those RDs. But he has to do it again.

Indeed, but he already slowed down at the end of last season. He could do it but it seems unlikely.

I think ultimately, they go with something like 2 scoring lines, 1 pesty two-way line, 1 youth / high-tempo line.
Maybe not these exact guys, but something like this:

Gaudreau -- Matthews -- Kane
Tkachuk -- Eichel -- Debrincat
Coleman -- Larkin -- Oshie or Atkinson
B Tkachuk -- Hughes -- Boeser
Robertson

Werenski -- McAvoy
Slavin -- Fox
Hughes -- Petry
McDonagh
