Any team with Crosby, Tavares, Stamkos, Toews, Getzlaf and Perry in a top 6 is going to be next to impossible to beat.
Best top 6 in the tournament. And when you look at it like that, it's easy to see why St. Louis was left off. IMO Nash and Marleau are better suited for bottom 6 roles then St. Louis is. This can't be an entire team of allstars who try and play Harlem Globetrotters around the ice. You need a shut down line who are physical and can grind down the other side. As much as I disagree with the Nash pick, Nash plays that role much better then St. Louis ever could.
