Raanta > Dubnyk. A lot of the forwards are very questionable.


I gave Dubnyk the nod just because of this year .913 vs .908.Otherwise you have a career (not counting this year) .918 in Dubnyk vs. .922 Raanta at about an 8000$ difference. You're talking about splitting hairs there.

I think the most obvious snub is Pastrnak, but it really just comes down to who'd you replace. You have 2.0P/60 at 6.66M playing along one of the best players in hockey, period. Scheifele, Lindholm, and Arvidsson all break that 2.0P/60 threshold and do it playing with a significantly less talented center or by driving the play themselves, and the guys who don't necessarily drive the play are all significantly cheaper. Taylor Hall is the other guy that I definitely could have included here, but that just becomes a matter of preference between him and Scheifele. You're really splitting hairs there.

As for the forwards, once you get out of that top 6, Zibanejad, and Rakell, you start talking about elite role players. I wouldn't hate Eller, Danault, Jarnkrok, Coyle, or Rust, but Rust and Eller are more expensive, Jarnkrok isn't the most consistent player year-to-year, and Coyle and Eller aren't particularly great at driving play by themselves. Danault basically does exactly the offense to defense inverse of what Sheary does for about the same price.

Lowry is probably the weirdest choice, but for less than 3M you get the guy who led all forwards with more than 10 games in HDCF% last year, and who spent last year scoring at the rate of a 2C per 60.
