Stealing a thread idea from the main boards. I've never seen us list our "all time" best Caps team, so I thought I'd start one here.
My version is any player that's played in a Caps sweater. I don't care about how long, or how they did during their tenure....its just them as career players (or predicted career). I tried to get the 12 best skaters and then make lines that would work together. Same for the D pairings.
I'm sure many may snipe about the bottom 6 or last 3 D-men, so I'm curious what others think. Being a fan since 1979, I've been fortunate enough to see most of the players that the franchise has iced. So....on to it.
Ovechkin- Oates- Jagr
Bondra - Maruk - Ciccarelli
Federov - Backstrom - Gartner
Kuznetsov - Hunter - Ridley
Gustafsson/Pivonka/Christian/Walter/Semin/Tocchet/Allison/Miller/Tikannen/Carpenter
Murphy - Stevens
Langway - Hatcher
Green - Tinordi
Johansson/Gonchar/Carlson/Iafrate/S Côte/Rouse/Orpik/Housley/Alzner
Holtby
Kolzig
Ranford
I welcome other opinions...
