Jason Chen and Michael Amato discuss which team is currently the best in the NHL right now. Surprisingly, there's no real debate.
The Sleepers and Keepers fantasy hockey podcast hosts Jason Chen and Michael Amato go a little off-topic and ask: Which team is the best team in the league right now?
Though the Vancouver Canucks and the Boston Bruins have led the Western and Eastern Conferences for much of the season, respectively, both fantasy experts are in unison: The best team in the league right now is the Florida Panthers.
They have no glaring weaknesses in their lineup. They have an elite two-way center in Aleksander Barkov. Sam Reinhart is having an all-time season and just 10 power-play goals away from tying the all-time record in the cap era. Their blueline has plenty of experience and Sergei Bobrovsky is turning in a fine season.
They're 9-1-0 in their past 10 with six straight wins and, above all, they're hungry after losing in the Stanley Cup Finals last season.
