Description
The best lines in hockey ain’t cheap! $15m over budget!

This is not supposed to be a team of 1st liners.
Was more fun to think of which teams are strongest for a specific depth. Didn’t use any data for this but did confirm through dailyfaceoff that these are actually on each of the respective lines.

On paper it’s the best 3rd line in hockey tho, (and with a healthy timo and Mercer firing again it maybe could be)

I like it…

(Although probably deserves explanation that it is best 1st line, best 2nd line, etc…not just four best 1st lines)

I would say that our current fourth line of Bunting-Drury-Noesen is the best fourth line in hockey because it's a very good offensive and defensive line when together (1.38 xGA/60) and Orlov/Chatfield have an argument as the best third pairing.

Bunting: 22 points
Drury: 12 points
Noesen: 19 points
