Malkin is definitely much better than toews

Price? oof. Freddy>

almost perfect, messed up the goalies tho, Vas, freddy, rinne

Ryan Suter? No Seth Jones? Doughty has had a horrible year

Toews better in a 4 line imo. His leadership abilities is invaluable as well.

Maybe at the moment. But if i would choose a goalie for my team i think price can perform top quality for some more years. His highest level is still the best in the league i think.

Andersen and Rinne has not been the best when it mater the most i believe. But tough choice.

I wanted 3 lefties. I still believe Doughty is the best allround D in the league. But i agree he has dropped.

No marner or rant?

John Carlson should 100% be on here.

Ouch. Skill level, Freddy beats him right now. And forget his contract lmao

Jimmy Howard in his last 2 games is like 94/96 on a bad Red Wings team. He's better than Gibson at the moment in my opinion.

OH GOD

Who do you take off? Carlson, letang, subban, Jones, rielly, next in line imo

Still, you can throw Malkin (or mackinnon) on wing and scratch someone else. Geno 100% deserves to play on this team. He’s still a top 5 C

Incredible players but who to drop?

JC is awesome. But i rate Karlsson and Burns higher offensively. Doughty to get more D-Zone starts.

I choose players who have won trophies very high. Thats why Toews for example is with. I agree with the contract OC. That wil be tough for Montréal.

I should say that this is also a team with my preferd players. Malkin left out (just like the top 100 list) is likely not fair.

At the moment i agree. But if i would play for a trophy, Gibson is better i think.

I mean Carlson is the 4th highest points for dmen. Dd has 31 (22nd) and I assume this list I solely based off offensive upside bc burns is terrible defensively and so is ek.

Rielly and Carlson can easily replace any player on the list.

Carlson is out producing them all besides burns. He’s very underrated for dmen. 4th in points right now and will be a Norris candidate

So is letang lmao but all 3 Ride side D are better than both of them. LA is terrible but doughty is still top 3D in the NHL. EK is actually under rated defensively, but I agree burns is horrible. Still, his offensive upside makes up for it. I think this guy nailed this team imo other than lines

I mean the title is "Best Team Possible Right Now" right now would lead me to believe that Carlson who is #4 in points for dman would easily make a list over lesser players right now. now if his list said best players the last 3 years yeah this is accurate......**** Morgan Reilly is 2nd in points and isnt on the list.... tanger in 5th? I assume again this list is purely offense upside bc burns has 0 value outside that

There’s a lot of elite D you can argue for this list. The only “Locks” id say are karlsson and Giodano imo (and josi if you NEED 3LHD)

Yeah I would agree with that. If he means right now as in this year, I'd pick Gibson. If he means players playing well as of recent, it's Howard
