Glad a rival Pens fan can see the worth in Jesper Fast :^)

Sick team, btw. Most "dream teams" are just loaded with scoring and no actual defense.

Murray's on an ELC. Lots of Pens. They did just win the cup, so not necessarily a bad thing. Also no Pacioretty? Guys probably the best LW in the NHL, bang for buck. I feel like Benn + Seguin would be better for the second line over Neal and Malkin, and it would let you take Pacioretty over Cogliano. I would also probably take Hamonic over Vatanen, and Karlsson or Doughty over Letang.

All in all though its some pretty small and subjective changes, obviously. Good team.

I agree there are some good combo's out there. Pacioretty doesn't belong on the 3rd line, and I already had the Crosby/Marchand and Malkin/Neal combo's in mind. Cogliano is an iron man, and the type of guy you want on your 3rd line. I personally think Letang is the best defenseman in the league (bias of course) so I certainly wouldn't take no defense Karlsson, but he is equal to Doughty in my mind.

Thanks for the insights!

I think most GM's in the league would take Fast in a heartbeat. Was among the best forwards in the Pens/Rangers series this year.

I'm a big 4th line guy, I like when they play sound defense and make life a living hell for guys like Ovechkin, Crosby, and Stammer. And if I were to construct a team from the ground up, Fast would be there every single time.

Terrible
