I'm using Hockey-Reference Scoring Logs for this one. Much faster than going through individual game reports. I'm going with the assumption that the players that player X scored the most ES points with are his most common linemates, and from that I can deduce which position player X played. I'll be listing the players that player X scored the most ES points with.
1999-2000
Alfredsson, RW: 21
McEachern, LW: 12
Zamuner, LW: 9
Juneau, C: 6
Most likely a C.
2001-02
Clymer, RW: 12
Richards, C: 8
St. Louis, RW: 5
Keefe, RW: 4
Started out as a C with an assortment of wingers then around game 40 switched to LW with Richards and Clymer.
2002-03
Lecavalier, C: 28
St. Louis, RW: 13
Fedotenko, RW: 9
Clymer, RW: 8
Richards, C: 5
Fedotenko in red, because he's also listed as LW and I am unsure who between him and Prospal were RW/LW. Anyone with more info?
2003-04
Sykora, RW: 10
Rucchin, C: 10
Lupul, LW: 10
Fedorov, C: 6
Started out at LW with Fedorov and Sykora mostly. Around game 45, the trio became him, Rucchin and Lupul. Problem is I don't have anyone listed as a RW between the three. My guess is Prospal was the RW, Lupul LW and Rucchin C? More info anyone?
2005-06
Lecavalier, C: 26
Fedotenko, RW: 18
St. Louis, RW: 11
Another problem with Fedotenko's position. Who was RW, him or Prospal? I'm going with Fedotenko at RW for now, since I see him play with Richards, C and Modin, LW sometimes too.
2007-08
Lecavalier, C: 25
St. Louis, RW: 20
Briere, RW: 10
Hartnell, LW: 5
Umberger, C: 5
LW in Tampa, then C in Philly
2009-10
Gaborik, RW: 22
Dubinsky, C: 4
Jokinen, C: 5
LW mainly. Assortment of centers.
2011-12
Nash, : 15
Carter, : 8
Letestu, C: 7
Tough one here. I know in their careers Nash played both wings and Carter C/RW. Nash, Carter, Prospal was the most common trio. Who played what?
