This poll kind of turned into a homer poll but the match-ups are interesting to look at. I would lean towards the Seguin side in the round one match up but I can understand one could make up a solid debate to go with Hall. Then to have Hall beat out Stamkos in the 2nd round match up blows my mind but not as much as Eberle leading Crosby in the Semi's.

Hall and Eberle are in the semi's. Stamkos and Giroux are not.

That's all you need to know about the validity of that poll.

I like Giroux too, but I am not sure I would take him over Karlsson in that match up. I do not think Stamkos even has an equal on the list. It must be fantastic to be the GM in Edmonton right now.

I think Giroux plays more defense.

My Bracket would be:

Crosby over Benn
Doughty over Pietrangelo
Kessel over Eberle
Toews over Neal

Crosby over Doughty
Toews over Kessel

Crosby of Toews (though it kills me)

Giroux over Kopitar (by a hair)
Karlsson over Letang
Seguin over Hall
Stamkos over Tavares

Giroux over Kopitar
Stamkos over Seguin

Giroux over Stamkos (toughest call on the board)

Crosby over Giroux

I redo this ballot completely were I taking injuries into consideration. Toughest draws were Kopitar getting Giroux and Tavares getting Stamkos.
