Trying to make the best team in every sense of the word

Team: 2021-22 Custom Team

Initial Creation Date: Sep. 13, 2021

Published: Sep. 13, 2021

Salary Cap Mode: Basic

You need scoring and grit and some defensive depth. WIth the firepower of this team, the need for defensive depth is limited, though, because they would have the puck so much.
Every player is in their preferred position, So not like an Olympic team where you have centers playing the wing etc
Past playoff performances (or lack thereof), whether they are "clutch" performers, leadership, fit with teammates, having a finisher on each line (if possible) and whether the player would be a team player and accept a reduced role and other similar factors were considered. I wanted to put in an enforcer-type player in case other teams started taking runs at the star players, but i did not.
Gallagher would go through a wall to win. This is my Habs bias, but still.
Pavelski is aging but he comes through in the playoffs whenever he makes the playoffs.
I struggled with leaving off:
Draisaitl (couldn't figure out which center to drop because the others are so good in the playoffs)
Matthews (great regular season but....)
Marner (see Matthews)
J. Toews (already have Bergeron in his role)
Heiskanen (consistent enough to uproot anyone)
Chychrun (see Heiskanen)
Carlson (could replace someone)
Hellebuyck (Price or him? Price outplayed him in the playoff series and this is a backup role)
B. Tkachuk or m. Tkachuk (Does the team need more sandpaper?)

I am sure there would be lots of disagreement. It is just my thoughts.
