Let me know what you guys think, and maybe give me a link to your team if you decide to take on this challenge.
Nice team! My only concern would be playing someone like Watson on the third line as I see him more as a 4th liner. Chychrun isn't really a 2nd pairing defenseman either, he is someone you can fit in there due to his contract being excellent. I like your additions of Whitecloud and Robertson, I haven't seen them on any other team yet.
Overall great job, thanks for taking on this challenge!

Thanks! I didn't really like Watson and Chychrun where they are either. I moreso just put them there because they fit the role Burke asks for.
I was commenting with someone on another one of these posts about how other gms seem to build teams. I'll probably be guessing a roster as to how they would. No promise on it's accuracy though.

Only thing I forgot to mention about Robertson is that he is on his ELC, I didn't use any players on their ELC on my team, but you can obviously do as you like.

Yeah, I wasn't planning on it, but figured he would probably be the perfect fit for that position. I also think him and MacKinnon would be a fun combo to watch.
