Sticking with the "if it ain't broke, marginally improve it" approach, my team is made up of most of the current Steelhawks Roster.

For the top line, I just couldn't bring myself to break it up, I tried repeatedly to make something else work, but it has been(easily) the best top line in the playoffs thus far, and I don't think you really could make it better, considering how many times it's come through in the clutch for the Hawks. Klose on the 2nd line makes the top 6 too dangerous for any team to handle. The bottom 6, though young, has proven to be reliable in 3rd/4th line roles, so again, I find it hard to change.

Defensively, again with the few changes, while I would play them more defensively, I see no reason to break up a winning core of defense. And having Schultz-Drake as a defensive pairing is a future I think every GM would love to have.

Goaltending. . .If this were all time, I'd have to go with Jesster, but for now, Andersson has been insane(11-1-1 to this point), Andersson played a huge part in why Hamilton was able to blow by everyone in the playoffs.
