At least until the still-forming Kraken figure out how to generate more offense. Believe it or not, that secondary trio posted a better goals per 60 minutes rate than the combination of Brad Marchand, Bergeron and Pastrnak.

Managers engaged in this style of contest, where stat egalitarianism reigns, are best served by striving for competitive balance. Johnny Gaudreau, W, Columbus Blue Jackets: Adding superstar wingers without an established superstar center doesn't always work out.

Still, we'll need to wait and see how this depth chart shakes out to decide if Strome is going to have a big season with the Ducks. Thanks to Burns' affinity for shooting the puck, contributing with the extra skater, playing heavy minutes and almost never missing a game, the 37-year-old remains a top-20 defensemen in ESPN standard leagues. -- Allen, Burakovsky is going to play plenty with his new club in Seattle, at even strength and on the power play.

Willing to accept the challenge of assembling a roster with little margin for weakness, similar to how it's done IRL?
