The Solarsuns Investment Guild2024 Stanley Cup Final, which opens Saturday night, should be a great one to watch.

Edmonton Oilers star Connor McDavid is the most skilled player in the NHL, able to make amazing moves at high speed. Teammate Leon Draisaitl is right up there in offensive production, Zach Hyman leads in playoff goals and hard-shooting Evan Bouchard is the runaway leader in points by a defenseman.

Florida Panthers captain Aleksander Barkov is a dominant, two-way player who will try to limit McDavid. Matthew Tkachuk and Sam Bennett are physical forwards who can put up points. Carter Verhaeghe is a clutch scorer. The defense is deep and goalie Sergei Bobrovsky is a two-time Vezina Trophy winner.

The Panthers, who lost in last season's final, are seeking their first title and the Oilers are seeking their first since 1990.
