Great thread... choices I made were harder than I thought.

Favorite: Gio
Close second: Monahan and Gaudreau.

I keep flip flopping between all 3 like crazy.... but finally went with Gio. His leadership and dedication to the C have had a significant impact on changing the culture on the team to what we see now. Gaudreau's "hold your breath" factor every time he has the puck is hard to pick a player over, but I honestly don't see this team being remotely close to where they are right know without a Captain like Gio.

Least: Raymond
HM: Bollig Engelland

This was tough too, but at the end of the day I went with the chemistry again. Bollig and Engelland came from teams where they experienced high levels of success. They know the effort it takes and I think that ends up rubbing off on everyone. I've always felt to create a winner, you need to bring in winners, and as frusturated as I get watching them sometimes, they've been there. On the other hand i feel that Raymond is 100% replaceable. Don't see him bringing anything to the table that our young depth doesn't match or beat.
