I’d give MacInnis the edge mainly on his Conn Smythe run, and a slightly longer prime. Chara had some good playoffs, but he’s missing that iconic playoff a lot of all time greats have.
What’s a better all time defense pairing than MacInnis/Pronger?
Stevens/Neidermayer?
Al’s slapshot was the most feared thing in the NHL
I wonder if Chara’s all star game hardest shot record would compare

MacInnis. Not sure it's even remotely close.
I agree with my vote, but caution against any “ainec”. Stevens is the most limited of the 4, but struck even more fear in forwards entering the zone than Pronger or Blake. And when you say “neidermayer at his best was never better than either blues player”, there may be some playoffs you missed.
