Re: Tavares/Gaudreau or Simmonds/Forsberg
Tavares is the clear best player, but as you said you have tons of depth at C. Also, I think your team is older so you're in win now mode and thus Simmonds' potential to do worse in the next couple of seasons is less of a concern. Plus, Gaudreau is lousy in many of these categories. I think I might pull the trigger on this if I was you.

Re: Tavares/Gaudreau or Simmonds/Forsberg
Do you have the point totals handy from last year for those four?
Re: Tavares/Gaudreau or Simmonds/Forsberg
Based on the names alone, I'd lean towards Tavares & Gaudreau. It\s close, but I'd always rather the extra faceoffs.
You are sitting on Crosby and Stamkos though... so I think I'd pull the trigger. Assuming Simmonds actually scores as high and it looks like he would from your point breakdown.
