I'd take Fox over Karlsson on my 3rd pairing. Agree with majority of everything else.

I'll take either on my third pairing

Pettersson should definitely be here before Thompson

he was one of the last cuts

Matthews is the best LW1 but even if you think Drai>Matthews, Matthews clears Kaprizov and 100% clears Tkachuk and Pasternak

They're pretty equal offensively and Pettersson is leagues ahead defensively so I would personally take Pettersson

karlsson was the best analytical offensive player in the league he just needs a good shutdown guy by his side. hedman is the worst guy here by far

agreed

don't think a lot of people outside toronto would agree with you

u mentioned youre a sens fan and i watched a lot of their games (bc of giroux). stutzle was the most noticeable player on that team, he will be a top 12 NHL forward next year

in my opinion he's a lock for 100 points for the next few years

That's irrelevant... If I were to convince 99% of the world that the sky is green when it is in fact blue and the 1% says that the sky is blue, they are right, no matter how many times the 99% repeat it

Back to my point (lol Point), out of the top 6 forwards and Matthews, 1 of those players will ever be in Selke conversations while producing fantastic numbers offensively: Auston Matthews
