This is basically taking the three best forwards from every team, which means there would be lots of teams that would be close or better than this.

BOS: Bergeron/Marchand/Pastrnak
WPG: Scheifele/Wheeler/Laine
DAL: Benn/Seguin/Radulov
FLA: Barkov/Huberdeau/Hoffman
TBL: Stamkos/Kucherov/Miller
TOR: Matthews/Tavares/Marner
STL: Tarasenko/O'Reilly/Schwartz
PIT: Crosby, Malkin, Kessel
WSH: Ovechkin, Backstrom, Kuznetsov

Not saying they're all better, but they'd give this line a run for their money for sure. I'd probably take PIT, WSH, BOS and WPG over this line. McDavid is fantastic, but Draisaitl had a mediocre year and Nugent-Hopkins consistently underwhelms me.

Too bad that line (or possibility of it being a line) doesn't exist as of today.

Not a possibility until the Leafs officially acquire for him. But as of right now, everyone is presenting possible lines in the NHL as of today.

Top line scores 3 goals a game, rest of the team gives up 8

Not the best first line and it leaves Edmonton with the weakest C depth

I’d take all of those lines over the one I made with the exception of Toronto, Florida and St. Louis. Add Point to the Tampa Bay line and it’s even better.
