Without Doughty and Kopitar

Not nearly as good.

I’m writing this part to point out why I did this. Obviously Armchair is here so we all can have fun, try new things. Obviously I much prefer Kopi and Doughty on our team.

But to respond to your statement now.

I definitely will always respect your opinion. However, personally I think we are a little better. Our 4 lines will match up perfectly against any team in the NHL.

Offensively (Kane, Taresanko, Toews, Sundsqvist > Kopitar, Grundstrom, Lewis) “Roster Players”

Defensively (Doughty > Murray and Bear) without a doubt. Clarke is young and will be nowhere close to Doughty this season. Doughty is a 2 time Stanley cup champion, a Norris winner and very experienced defenseman. But maybe Clarke can put some offensive numbers.

Goaltending- Miles better with Helly in net.

And Kane being one of the best playmakers in the game, he will only help Byfields numbers and give QB more confidence.

And I just realized something too.

Every forward line has a Stanley Cup Champion

Line - 1 Kane
Line 2 - Taresenko
Line 3 - Arvidsson
Line 4 - Toews

When did Arvy win a stanley cup? In his dreams? Cause he didnt do it with the Kings or Nash......
