Looking for some help with a playoff poll

[Teh Doktor]

Hello all,

I am in charge of picking two playoff teams and am looking for any advice I can get.

For my team, I have to pick one player from each team.

9 F, 6D, and 1 G and is goal-heavy.

Scoring:

G = 3 pts
PPG = 4 pts
SHG = 5 pts
All A = 1 pt
Hat trick = +5 pts
Goalie win = 5 pts
Shutout = +3 pts
Goal given up = -1pt
Saves = 1 pt/10 saves (no partial pts)

Not sure of the number of teams, but since any team can pick any player, not sure it matters.

Any strategies for picking players here would be helpful. Thank you!

It's a high-risk type of pool because you probably want your goalie to be on a team in the Final. The safest bet there is Holtby. I say this because STL/CHI could go either way, and one of them against the Ducks (or add LAK and SJS into the mix) and it's a crap shoot. In the East, at least WSH will get out of the first round, we know that much.
I'd go Holtby, Crosby, Burns for sure. Then I'd use the other five D for the softest/weakest/most questionable teams

Building off of Dobber there, I would also be looking at Ghost, as he will likely be out in the first, and then Suter/Spurgeon from Minnesota.
Nashville is another good spot to grab a D, and I would go Josi over Weber there. That leaves you with 8 forwards and two Dmen to spread over the last 10 teams.
