Hall - Malkin - Laine for me.

The Ovechkin line a very close second.

 

[KoozNetsOff 92]

Hall - Malkin - Laine for me.

The Ovechkin line a very close second.

I feel like that line wouldn't work too well because Hall and Malkin both are at their best carrying the puck. Also, who plays D?

 

[KoozNetsOff 92]

Kopitar can just sit back and do the dirty work as OV and Kucherov put up the pts.

Kopitar has more points than Ovechkin.

They drive the play constantly and no one on that line is a remotely bad defensive player.

 

[3rdLiner]

Hall Malkin Laine would be unstoppable. The Marchand line would be incredibly entertaining but is nowhere near as good.

 

[M C D A V I D]

Mcdavid with the 2 worst wingers..

 

[Nadal On Clay]

I’ll take the guy with the Conn-Smythe

 

[Trap Jesus]

Ovechkin-Kopitar-Kucherov is definitely the most balanced. When you're talking about all star players, it's best to look at how their play styles would complement each other.

 

[KoozNetsOff 92]

Kopitar has more points than Ovechkin.

That wasn't my point lol.

Because he's the best player here.

Malkin is a stud defensively.

I love the Marchand - MacKinnon - Wheeler, and that Malkin line would be sexy af, but I think this should be playoff Phil, McJesus & Johnny hockey.

...might still homer vote since Wheeler is basically what we hope Mikko continues growing into and before he was re-signed I had daydreamed about Marchand playing with MacK n Mikko; so I'd love to see how that line did in the playoffs. Especially with MacK's tendency to elevate his game in tournaments.

Convince me that playoff-Kessel isn't the best winger of that group to head into the postseason with.

 

[Luigi Lemieux]

Would take the Malkin line if the wingers weren't so inexperienced. I'd probably go with the Ovy-Kopitar-Kucherov line.

 

[GirardSpinorama]

Mack like has the best mix.

 

[Thenameless]

It's all pretty close, but I went with MacKinnon's line mostly because of how he's been playing lately.
