The Goon Squad

Maxime Bouchard  
Manuel Gotze
Julio Tokolosh
Nat Emerson  
Rex Kirkby  
Luca Del Vecchio

I tried to make the best team I could using only the top 25 players in PIM. For a goalie, I used the one with the most saves, and therefore the one that could take the hardest beating. What I came up with is actually a really good team. I was surprised to find Tokolosh and Bouchard on this list, both being very successful forwards this season points-wise. Emerson and Kirkby are both top tier defenders as well, and  Del Vecchio has a good save percentage to boot. I think this team would actually fair pretty well provided the other team was not so efficient on the power play.

The Insult to Injury

Michael Scarn

Elizabeth Doyle
 

So I made exactly the team that the Goon Squad would hate to play against using the top 25 in power play points and- wait Bouchard is on both? That's awkward. But either way, you have some serious goal scorers up top including the league points leader in Scarn. Then backing them up are Wang and Kennedy who are assist masters on the power play. Great set up. In goal we have Elizabeth Doyle, who has plenty of experience on the power play considering Buffalo has a lot of power play points.

The Big Scary

Knox Booth 

And now we have the IS THAT BOUCHARD AGAIN? Damn that guy gets around. Anyway this is supposed to be the real All-Star team, but theres apparently a lot of overlap. In fact we've seen all of these guys before except for booth. Looks like to be the best of the best you gotta be able to dish it out and take it. All of these guys are major point farmers and Knox Booth is looking like the advanced stat favorite for the McBride this season. I won't be surprised if these guys end up sweeping the awards season.

This team is full of players that are clearly cheating. Perhaps something should be done about them?

The Surprises

Ethan Price
Jon Forty-One
Rotticus Scott
Augustus Wang
FR Finn-Rhys
Cillian Kavanagh 

These are some names I never thought I'd see doing so well this season. Ethan Price is killing it for a second season player. Jon Forty-One is one of a couple Edmonton players that has come out of the woodwork. Rotticus Scott is clearly cheating. Augustus Wang is way better than we anticipated in Buffalo. FR Finn-Rhys is a top fantasy player right now. Cillian Kavanagh made the move to Texas which explains a lot.
