As of right now, if I had to play a game tomorrow...
Alex Ovechkin (78) - Travis Zajac (75) - Corey Perry (73)
Thomas Vanek (71) - Paul Stastny (73) - Zach Parise (73)
Leo Komarov (71) - Frans Nielsen (73) - Loui Eriksson (70)
Stephen Gionta (64) - Derek Ryan (67) - Jayson Megna (62)
Duncan Keith (75) - Morgan Rielly (71)
Nick Holden (71) - Paul LaDue (63)
Fredrik Claesson (62) - Philip Larsen (62)
Craig Anderson (78)
Chad Johnson (71)
Strengths: Top-9; Top-3; Goaltending
Weaknesses: Fourth Line; Bottom-3; Depth in general.
Optimal opening night lineup:
Ovechkin (78) - guy - guy
Parise (73) - Zajac (75) - Perry (73)
Vanek (71) - Stastny (73) - Komarov (71)
guy - Nielsen (73) - Eriksson (70)
Keith (75) - guy
Rielly (71) - guy
Holden (71) - guy
Anderson (78)
Johnson (71)
Is that unrealistic? Well, I guess we'll find out.
