By "one superstar" do you mean a minimum of 1? I cause I would consider Draisaitl a superstar on his own

In the original ACGM, there was a list of superstar players you could pick to build your team around. You could only have one of those players on your team. McDavid was on the list and Draisaitl wasn't, so I was able to put them both on my team.

Also: I agree with you that Draisaitl's a superstar.

It's a really, really bad list.

Past 2 seasons combined, points:
1. Draisaitl: 215
2. McDavid: 213
3. Kucherov: 213
4. Kane: 194
5. MacKinnon: 192
7. Panarin: 182
8. Pastrnak: 176
10. Stamkos: 164
16. Ovechkin: 156
23. Crosby: 147

Draisaitl is #1 in the league, only 2 others are within 20 points. Somehow neither he nor Kucherov nor Kane made that list. Wow.

Past 2 seasons combined, goals:
1. Ovechkin: 99
2. Draisaitl: 93
3. Pastrnak: 86
4. Matthews: 84
6. MacKinnon: 76
7. McDavid: 75
9. Stamkos: 74
20. Panarin: 60
48. Crosby: 51

Draisaitl is a clear 2nd, behind only the greatest goal-scorer in the history of the league (era adjusted). "Superstar" Nathan MacKinnon lags by 17 (!) goals - that's nearly 20% fewer goals!! And he's among the best of the "superstars" listed.

Past 4 seasons combined, points:
1. McDavid: 421
2. Kucherov: 398
3. Draisaitl: 362
4. Kane: 359
5. Marchand: 357
6. MacKinnon: 342
7. Panarin: 338
8. Pastrnak: 326
9. Crosby: 325
12. Ovechkin: 312
25. Stamkos: 270

It's pretty funny to me that 4 of the top-5 scorers from the past 4 seasons didn't make the list of "superstars" that you're espousing. Once again, Kucherov and Draisaitl comes up looking great, ranking 2nd and 3rd in the world. If 4 season's isn't enough to establish a guy's cred, what is?

Past 4 seasons combined, goals:
1. Ovechkin: 181
2. Matthews: 158
3. Pastrnak: 155
4. Kucherov: 153
5. Draisaitl: 147
6. McDavid: 146
11. MacKinnon: 131
12. Crosby: 124
17. Panarin: 118
30. Stamkos: 110

So 3 of the top-5 goal scorers didn't make that list. Yikes.

He definitely put too many goalies, still left Gibson off, and I dunno why Chara is on there. And yeah I agree just needs more forwards in general. Kucherov and Draisaitl definitely the worst snubs for forwards IMO.
But hey, I'm just playing within the rules grin
