1. Sharks- The Sharks are led by one of the bet wingers in the game, in Kovy with a good first line. The second line is a question mark as both Stewart and Ruutu came off down years, and Yakupov has yet to play a NHL game. The back line contains only two defenders, but boy can they contribute offensively. Then there's Ward who of core is the GOAT(In all seriousness, he is a solid goalie who makes my top 10 list)
Advise: Get shutdown defenders; Potentilly trade one of your defenders for a lesser D+ upgraded winger on Stewart.
2. Coyotes- Well, for a team that is managed by a guy who can't spell his name, hes putting up a good team thus far. Like the Sharks, the Coyotes have a great winger in Perry. I'm personally a huge fan of Radar( Ryan O'reilly), but I dislike Booth and don't think he should be the 4th option on a team.(Unless you have superstars ahead of him) Legwand is a good 2C, that being said the Yotes have terrible wingers. Perry is great but after hi you only have Booth. At this point, I don't see many top 6 wingers left. They do have a fantastic defense with a solid goalie in net.
Advise: Trade Letang for 2 good wingers or a good wing+lesser D
3.Kings- Led by a very mean GM, who has been trying to remake a team of former and currents Stars(the team). With a solid first line, and then an almost finished second line( which looks fantastic) you'd think they sacrificed other positions to make it happen. You'd be correct as the first pairing is most likely one of the worst in this. Marty in net which isn't bad but, he should back him up with good defense which he hasn't.
Advise: Upgrade that defense. Ribero+Murray for lesser C + better D, then draft D's.
4. Ducks- I personally don't like teams with bad goalies, which the Ducks will draft, unless they make a trade. With no line combinations I can't judge as well, but Bergeron,Havlat,Vanek are great players. Berglund is a below average 2C, and Wheeler exploded, but is he legit? This team has great two way forwards featuring Bergeron,Berglund, and Havlat. I love the Giordono-Byfuglien pairing( one of the better pairings), but waiting this long for a goalie really hurts and you will find out later.
Advise: Move Vanek for a lesser winger(2 way preferably) and a solid D
5. Stars- Phenomenal offense, but I think your lines should be switched around. Spezza-Michalek is a good duo, Iginla is kind of overkill, which doesn't balance your lines well. Pa's stats are inflated since he plays with Tavares, and Stalberg just played with Kane. Ehrhoff is a good defender, but sadly that's all you have. People won't treat Pronger like he's healthy, so that was a terrible pick. No goalie either only makes things worse.
Advice: Trade Iginla for 2 good D's.
