Curve Similiar to W88 With Closed Toe?

Are there any curves that are similar to the W88 curve but with a closed toe?

 

 

CCM P40 is pretty much a P88 with a slightly shorter, slight squarish closed toe.

Also the new CCM p30 might work - I have not seen it in person yet, but from the description it should be close 

That's pretty much what the P30 is. I used to be a P88/W88/X88 guy (and tried just about every other curve except like P91A), and now I use the P30 exclusively now and love it (not to say that anyone else is destined to like it). I did not like the W71- too flat of a rocker made it hard to cradle the puck and actually shoot off the toe the way that Bjugstad demos in his Easter E28 video. W71 seemed more for shooting traditional wrist shots from the tie, which worked, but they are hard to shoot exactly to a spot that you want to snipe quickly, which the P30 lets me do rather easily.

Checked out the P30 in person and it is pretty sweet - for sure my next pick up!

Just for clarity sake to the OP. The W71 Warrior Pacioretty is not the same curve as the Base BC71 Malkin.

W71 is a longer "banana" shape that is a tad open. BC71 has a more defined Toe kink.
