Alright shall I discuss what I think of the matchups? My team is already about to go down in round 1, so I don't have much to lose!
vs
CENTRES: Aho is the best C on either team, Seguin is also better than Winnipeg's No.1 C in Monahan, no brainer here,
VEGAS
LEFT WINGS: Hoffman is the best LW on either side, but he's defensively awful. However, I'd prefer JVR to either of Parise/Johnson on WPG as well and Vegas also has Hagelin, one of the best defensive wingers in the game. Roussel is better than Jankowski but not enough,
VEGAS
RIGHT WINGS: I love Radulov, even the low point total doesn't deter me from saying he's the best of the RWs. However, we've all seen how clutch Williams is in the playoffs, Panik is very good defensively as well and Bennett is good depth on the 4th line. I don't care for Bailey. Anderson/Grabner/Komarov doesn't excite me on the other side.
VEGAS
DEFENSE: This one is close. Lindholm-McAvoy is an incredible shutdown pairing, while having Weber and Rielly on separate pairs gives Winnipeg lots of balance. Vegas though hits with FOUR really solid NHL D-men, and I'd have to take Trouba and Brodie over Pelech and Cernak.
VEGAS
GOALIES: Binnington and Murray are both cup winners but one of those has struggled much more than the other - I trust Binnington more overall.
WINNIPEG
FINAL RESULT: VEGAS IN 5
