Probably a ton to compare, but what stands out to me at first glance is Ek over Suter. Ek was fantastic...not sure if he was better than Suter though.

I think you have a better argument of Suter over Timonen than you do over Ekholm.

 

[PredsV82]

I would almost think Vokoun should be over Saros. He did more with less. Although I suppose Saros Vezina noms may count more

 

[Flgatorguy87]

I guess Fisher as your 1C tells you what you need to know.

 

[herzausstein]

RyJo and Legwand? Which one plays wing? Why not JP Dumont over having both centers?

 

[NoNecksCurse]

Vokoun should be ahead of Saros.

Legwand should be 1st team over Fisher.

Also, seems the forwards are just forwards. Doesn't have to be a C. Erat should be above Fisher.

I hate to put Suter over Timonen. That spot could be either. Timonen was a casualty of that firesale where we almost lost the team. He had some good hockey left in him when he was traded to Philly.

Spot on and extremely depressing.

 

[Top 6 Spaling]

If this were a real tournament or something, we should absolutely run 2F 3D

 

[herzausstein]

Make things spicy and toss in a Radulov

 

[Armourboy]

Trying to put together some of the forwards is like comparing apples to oranges. Erat may have had more ability to produce points, but Fisher did pretty much everything else better. He was also the Captain when we went to the SCF in 2017 and I don't think you can ignore that.

I also agree I would have Vokoun over Saros.

 

[Roman Yoshi]

The lack of center quality is really damning

 

[PredsV82]

Vokoun should be ahead of Saros.

Legwand should be 1st team over Fisher.

Also, seems the forwards are just forwards. Doesn't have to be a C. Erat should be above Fisher.

Arnott should be the 1C. I think people forget he was here...
