McDonagh and Giordano should not be here.

Replace them with Rielly/Makar/Chabot

Giordano's what, 1 year removed from a Norris? McDonagh was a defensive giant on Tampa this year, but I do think it's fairly even between all of the guys mentioned. Rielly and Chabot were the last two players I cut.

Why don't you put Doughty and Burns here then? They've both won a Norris. But no, they're not good anymore. Rielly and Chabot > Gio and McDonagh 11/10 times

Doughty fell off a cliff. Burns is okay, but not really that close to this team. Two players falling off doesn't mean a third did.

My issue with Chabot and Rielly is that neither plays defense, really. Maybe I'd go Theodore if anything.

There's no magic regression in ability just because you hit 30, you know?

I know that. My point is that Rielly, Theodore, Makar and Chabot are all better than those 2

I mean I think Hamilton is better than anyone you mentioned, and I already have him on the team. Again - I'd consider adding Theodore and one of Rielly and Chabot, but wanting several PP/offensive specialists on a team like this just seems weird to me.

Saying Chabot doesn’t play defense is actually insulting to him

What do you mean? What do you think South America is? How would that work if America was the US only?

How are you this confused, living on the continent?

Lol this is funny...yes there is a North America and South America thanks. It’s ok we can just call me an idiot and your team basically team Canada because there’s only a few on it that aren’t..I count five. I would make some changes to the team as well but good on ya for trying . It’s decent, you should try a team USA and a team Canada.good effort
