No offence, but you could do a lot better than this... haha.

Add: Mackinnon, Pastrnak, Pietrangelo, Barkov, Rielly, Werenski
Remove: Benn, Malkin, Stralman, Yandle, Martinez, and Kreider...

Thats off the top of my head.

Everyone of those players is better than the substitution and it adds up to even less $

You can't tell the type of team this is by the players I picked? A physical, grinding, skillful group of guys with heart and passion. It's more than just good players. It's qualities every winning team needs. A team filled with superstars will get killed in the playoffs. There's no identity with players you've suggested and it sounds like nothing, but conflict to me. A bunch of superstars arguing over who is 'the guy'

The team I picked would be very very hard to play against in any playoff series. The other team would be physically and emotionally beaten down by game 3.
The only guy I would add if I could would be Drew Doughty.

If that's the case, then I'd take Crosby over Malkin, Crosby might be the best grinder in the game and nobody protects the puck better than he does. Malkin can be lazy at times and is a turnover machine, does get a bunch of takeaways though...but Crosby is better than Malkin in every aspect of the game both on and off the ice.
