Can Tavares play wing? If either he or Stamkos can play wing then I believe he's a lock to make this team.
Getzlaf is my favorite player in the NHL and yet I don't think his game will suit the big ice surface. I also don't like the idea of taking guys like Eric Staal to play wing - for the most part I want to stick with guys with significant experience playing wing.
Another question - can Neal play the left side? I'm assuming he can below.
Here's my stab at a lineup:
Neal - Crosby - Perry
Tavares - Stamkos - Eberle
Benn - Giroux - Carter
Richards - Toews - Nash
Keith - Doughty
Letang - Weber
Staal - Pietrangelo
I wanted to keep a balance of 4 productive lines and tried to pick players whose styles would complement one another. As for the 3 D pairings, I figure our true strength is on the right side this time around so I tried to match the LD who complemented each player best.
