LW - Commander Shepard, C - Nickolas Klaus , RW - Willie Mack
LD - Sandi Kocsis , RD - Willie Fisterbottom
G- Petr Vrana
For me much of hockey is having the right balance of players on the ice and trying to roll the lines of the team instead of relying on a top scoring threat line. Assuming my player becomes as elite as these players. A standard 2-3 forecheck preference would be used with pressure at the red line in the neutral zone.
Centering the line is top forward Nickolas Klaus. 6 foot 11, 300 lbs of pure scoring threat. Klaus led the league in assists in the regular season providing a pivot to create plays. The premier scoring threat Willy Mack will play his natural side on the right. Mack had 25 goals worth 18% of Montreal's total goals. Commander Shepard on the left wing prides in trying to be a jack of all trades that can create and/or finish plays when needed.
On defense we have leading offensive d man; Sandi Kocsis. Both Shepard and Kocsis bring a smaller, speedier frame to the line. On the right side is big boy Willy Fisterbottom. Together with Mack and Klaus this line has enough strength to keep up with any line despite the smaller sizes of Kocsis and Shepard. This defensive pairing consists of a more offensive two way defender on the left, and a more defensive two way defender on the right.
I might be making a bit of a homer pick but Petr Vrana has played consistently well for a defensive team that has trouble scoring. For that reason he might play best behind Willie Mack and Fisterbottom.
