Not sure about that man. It is close, and if you guys had Seguin I might give you the edge, but assuming MacK, Drouin, Colton are all good to go come game 1, I just can't pick Dallas' guys over them. I do think the Stars have a better 1-2-3 punch down the middle, and maybe a bit better depth overall, but the Avs have a better top six IMO, particularly because MacK is arguably the best forward in the world right now. However, there is the also the wildcard of Landeskog, if he comes back and he's even 60-70% of what he was that's a huge boost as well that would tip the scales.
Seguin is projected to play regular season games, so barring a setback, Seguin is going to be playing in game 1.
but even without Seguin, I’m taking Dallas forward group. It’s close but going into the playoffs, Dallas is going to have Granlund, Johnston and Benn as their third line, and an 18 goal scorer in Dadonov on their 4th line.
And like the poster said above, the Stars have 5 players producing at a 1st line pace.
Avs have a good forward group too but I just don’t see an argument to be had here.
