Who WOULD and who SHOULD are two different questions. I think Karlsson would get massive O Zone deployment with Pettersson while Letang and Graves played all the hard matchups. Karlsson would get more minutes, but they would be much easier minutes too.

As I stated previously all of these I believe to be top pairing DMen over EK65.

Top Pairing meaning playing against a teams hardest matchup night end night out
