The best moves in the league right there.

Jim Montgomery says this team has all of the elements he looks for in a team:
— Star power
— Depth
— Size
— Skill
— Speed

When he said “star power” he looked down at Jamie Benn in the first row and said he’s “already kissing his ass.” pic.twitter.com/Wxx3gLFNVo
