Do you really think Evan Bouchard can play a shut-down D role and the PK as well as Travis Sanheim? Or a coach would be as confident sending Cole Caufield over the boards to protect a lead against McKinnon’s line as Brock Nelson?
What - if any - difference do you think there should be between selecting an all-star team and building a roster for a best-of tournament?
