I'm kinda in a spot, maybe an oversight on my part, trying to nail down my power play alignments and the need for net-front guys. Perhaps this is my recency bias speaking about the subject.
I have one PP running through Gretzky obviously, and the second running through Giroux, and they're both going to play it two different ways, and may not necessarily be a match for the same unit (unless I'm just wrong).
I feel the Giroux unit needs 2 guys like that, and I have Yakushev and Barber marked for it, with Chara at the point. Palffy plays the opposite side.
That seems to leave Gretzky's unit a bit small there. If I leave Bure as a point guy to drop in on Gretzky. First, that's a dream-like scenario and too good not to use, but it leaves LaFontaine and Cournoyer as the two best options as power play guys, I think the latter can play in tight, as I'm not sure Wendel Clark is on that level, and they're all under 6 feet as it is. I have Rob Blake on that unit, but I could also toy with the idea of using Chara on that unit and dropping him in as a set-play option if it's a legitimate play.
Please post your entire lineup so we can see all of your options
