I meant like the Golden Knights would be Brossoit + Lehner, not Fleury + Lehner, and Martin Jones would be with Carter Hart on the Flyers.

yeah was wondering about as you could make the potential argument for Vegas as Brossoit could become a monster. That said...

my new answer

Best = NYI
Worst = Arizona

Best - WPG - Hellebuyck & Comrie (big thanks to Hellebuyck lol)
Worst - OTT - Murray & Forsberg. If you include Gustavsson instead of Forsberg as the backup, the worst tandem becomes Bobrovsky & Knight.

Got a feeling Gustavsson will play with OTT and Forsberg will be waived at some point.

But god dammit why did I not say Florida LUL. I talk about the goaltending situation all the time and that its their one big weakness going into next season and is one of the main reasons why I dont see them as a threat. Yet my brain completely forgets about them during this very moment facepalm.

Not surprised with Winnipeg as Hellybuck is a beast. To bad his backup will make it where hes gonna be tired come playoffs. Have a feeling they will sign Dubnyk to league min and make him the backup

Is Vegas #2? Albeit Brossoit’s 19-20 season could’ve dragged him down as opposed to last year where he was phenomenal.

CBJ - J. Korpisalo
DAL - T. Seguin/E. Lindell/R. Faksa
DET - D. Larkin
EDM - D. Nurse
FLA - B. Montour
LAK - M. Roy
MIN - J. Greenway
MTL - C. Price
NSH - D. Fabbro
NJD - R. Graves
NYI - No one comes to mind

Ollofson has that potential where he is overrated and underrated some days. It's weird, he's a streaky player some times he's a bonfire #1 LW,.some days he a dang good top 6 some games he's a second liner and others he's just a 3/4 LW so ye.

Many rangers fan disagree with this person but honestly hes correct. Wilson broke their gm and he chose toughness over anything else. For a team who has a 2-3 year window with Gallant as their head coach to go far and potentially win a cup that may not have been the best move

Last year he had an argument with me until 3 am about “Karen” being a racist term. tears of joy

From today on, him and JaredOfLondon are my ignore lists only occupants and I hope it stays that way

lol I’m surprised that’s all, there are a lot of morons on this site, especially in ACGM. I probably have 20 or 30 people ignored at this point, although probably at least half are trolls who log in infrequently at best. Notably both of those guys are on my ignore list as well 🤔🤔

I don't think Tavares is overrated tbh, he's just overshadowed by Matthews. If he was his team's 1C, people would realize how fantastic he is.


You’re probably right. I just hate how Toronto media makes everyone on the leafs seem like god incarnate

Other way around for the Devils. Sharangovich gets overshadowed by Hughes. Hughes is the best forward on the Devils

Schmaltz certainly isn’t overshadowed by Chychrun, if he’s overshadowed by someone it’s Dvorak, Barrie is not overshadowed, he’s a black hole defensively and a good PP guy, Hughes isn’t overshadowed by Sharangovich, as @Devil1122 pointed out, it’s the other way around, Provorov isn’t overshadowed, he’s their best D, don’t see McNabb being overshadowed

Tavares is underrated in my opinion. People never shut up about how they never should have signed him and how he's overpayed.
