Synopsis:
This team should be a pain in the arse to beat. The only restriction I put on this team was to ensure that no more than one player came from each team.

For the forwards, I decided to go for 3 of the most aggressive scorers in the league. Terrance Nova is now by far the most important player on Minnesota, and arguably the best all rounder in the league. He can do it all- pass, score, sit in the slot, whatever needs to be done. Oisin Fletcher is probably the best sniper; he's finished up at the top of the league for points very recently, and will be difficult to protect against considering the quality of players feeding him. Mike Izzy is probably the best power forward in the league, and likely to terrify the poor juniors on grounds of the fact that he's both the fastest and hardest checking player on the team- so he'll be the #1 target for any breakaways.

For the defencemen, I chose two players who will complement each other perfectly. Max Weber is the epitome of offensive defenceman; he regularly terrorizes goaltenders with bombs from the blue line, and is a very strong option on the powerplay. He is joined by Alexis Metzler, who is probably the greatest pass-first defender playing right now, and who will be able to both quarterback every play up the ice and brutally punish anyone attempting to play the other way. These two working together will be able to give each other the peace of mind and room to excel in what they're personally truly good at, without needing to cover too hard for each other.

For the goaltender, it was impossible to go past Beaujeax Biscuit, without whom the West Kendall Platoon could not have won a cup in S43.
