Each team was drafted in an ESPN fantasy lobby with these age restrictions. Two separate GMs.

Team A (Over 30):
Panarin-Scheifele-Kucherov
Ovechkin-Giroux-Kane
Duchene-Backlund-Coleman
Tarasenko-Seguin-Nyquist

Hedman-Karlsson
Carlson-Letang
Burns-Gudas

Bobrovsky
Talbot

Team B (Under 27):
B. Tkachuk-Hughes-Raymond
Keller-Suzuki-Bratt
Sharangovich-Hischier-Boldy
Peterka-Thomas-Jarvis

Dahlin-Hughes
Harley-Hronek
Power-Hutson

Hill
Luukkonen

I left out any extras. Assuming each team is fresh, so the 1st round, which team comes out the victor and in how many games?

How is A winning? Man to man, arguably every piece after 1st line wingers and goalie go to Team B. Difference between centers is like a day and night

That second line on team A i think gets caved by every line on team B. Team B in 5 because Bob steals a game.

Team B looks much better to me for a seven game series when things tighten up. The depth down the middle is outstanding. Also I would split up Hughes and Dahlin to have one of the two out there almost the whole game. Team A D has a lot of offensive firepower but it’s way beyond its prime and not that good defensively.

Hill and Bob each have a cup. Bob is more accomplished but I’m not sure he is much better in any given 7 game series.

The defense and goaltending is where it tilts to Team A for me. Even their third pair is a problem for their opponents. I like Team B’s forward group as a whole, but this is the playoffs and defense matters. And even at that, Team A still has the two best forwards on the ice by a large margin.

Really close, but first impression is Team A. The longer I look at it the better Team B looks, but I like Team A. No team bias here, more of a hockey fan than a team fan now. Which roster is yours? I'd like to see each roster set up as separate lines as best as can be done and then compare.

Yes they both look really good, nice job! When I played them, I'd construct teams like these in the NHL video games, and let the computer take over so they could duke it out and I'd just watch. Looks like a close game with either a Brandon Montour or Trevor Lewis OT goal :D
