from the all-time canucks vs. all-time flames thread:
Vancouver Canucks
Courtnall-Linden-Bure
Naslund-Morrison-Bertuzzi
Sedin-Sedin-Tanti
Boudrias-Gradin-Smyl
Don't worry about line order. Either of those four lines, could be top lines (the Sedins should probably get the top spot though, for peak).
Extras could be: Kesler, Adams, Ronning
Ohlund-Jovanovski
Lidster-Lumme
Snepsts-Salo
Extras could be: Kearns, Babych, Edler, Bieksa, Butcher
McLean
Luongo
Brodeur
I think Luongo is really close to McLean. I put McLean ahead because of his playoff performance.
Calgary Flames
Fleury-Nilsson-Iginla
Roberts-Nieuwendyk-Makarov
Loob-Gilmour-Mullen
Lysiak-Otto-McDonald
Yes, I realize Fleury isn't a LW.
Extras could be: Vail, Chouinard, Peplinski
MacInnis-Macoun
Suter-Reinhart
Regehr-Phaneuf
Kiprusoff
Vernon
Just for fun/personal preference:
Ron Francis - Mario Lemieux - Jaromir Jagr
Evgeni Malkin - Sidney Crosby - Mark Recchi
Rick Tocchet - Jordan Staal - Kevin Stevens
Alexei Kovalev - Robert Lang - Martin Straka
Petr Nedved - Bryan Trottier - Joey Mullen
Ryan Malone - Jan Hrdina - Aleksey Morozov
(Jay Caufield)
Paul Coffey - Larry Murphy
Kris Letang - Sergei Gonchar
Ulf Samuelsson - Darius Kasparitis
Brooks Orpik - Sergei Zubov
Janne Laukkanen - Jiri Slegr
Tom Barrasso
Marc-Andre Fleury
Johan Hedberg
Pittsburgh Penguins
Stevens-Lemieux-Jagr
Malkin-Crosby-Kehoe/Kovalev
Straka-Francis-Kehoe/Kovalev
MacDonald-Apps-Pronovost
Extras could be: Schock, Errey
Coffey-Murphy
Gonchar-Carlyle
Burrows-Stackhouse
Extras could be: Samuelsson, Orpik, Letang, Kasparaitis
Barrasso
Fleury
St. Louis Blues
Brendan Shanahan-Adam Oates-Brett Hull
Keith Tkachuk-Bernie Federko-Joe Mullen
Garry Unger-Doug Gilmour-Wayne Babych
Pavol Demitra-Red Berenson-Scott Young
I know there are a few guys out of position, but it became difficult to go solely off position. The Blues have a ton of great centers, but very little on the wings beyond the top two lines. I couldn't leave Unger or Berenson off, period.
Shanahan-Oates-Hull
Sutter-Federko-Mullen
Tkachuk-Berenson-Demitra
Pettersson-Unger-Babych
Extras could be: Patey, Gilmour, Turgeon, Young
Gilmour and Turgeon are probably better choices than Pettersson and Babych.
Chris Pronger-Al MacInnis
Bob Plager-Barclay Plager
Rob Ramage-Murray Baron
This is where it gets fun. The top four are obvious. Then it gets a little interesting. Still, that's a pretty damn good defense. Imagine if they hadn't lost Scott Stevens as compensation. Although, he likely would have taken MacInnis' spot, because there's no way St. Louis deals for MacInnis if they have Stevens.
Pronger-Ramage
MacInnis-Barclay Plager
Brown-Roberts
Extras could be: Bob Plager, Baron, Jackman
I had trouble here. I tried to "balance" the pairings as best I could.
Curtis Joseph
Mike Liut
I would have Joseph starting over Liut. Liut may have been a First Team All-Star in St. Louis, but Joseph was better than he was for longer. It's not Joseph's fault he played in St. Louis during a time when Roy and Belfour had a stranglehold on the Vezina and the top two all-star spots. From 1992-1994, Joseph was as good as they came.
I would have to go with Liut, then Jospeh, then Hall
Philadelphia Flyers
Bill Barber-Bobby Clarke-Reggie Leach
John Leclair-Eric Lindros-Mark Recchi
Brian Propp-Rick Macleish-Tim Kerr
Simon Gagne-Rod Brind'Amour-Gary Dornhoefer

Chris Therien-J. Watson
Bernie Parent
Ron Hextall
Philadelphia Flyers
Barber-Clarke-Leach
LeClair-Lindros-Recchi
Propp-MacLeish-Kerr
Gagne-Brind'Amour-Tocchet
Extras could be: Poulin, Dornhoefer, Richards, Carter
Howe-McCrimmon

San Jose Sharks
Patrick Marleau-Joe Thornton-Owen Nolan
Marco Sturm-Vincent Damphousse-Teemu Selanne
Jeff Freisen-Igor Larionov-Jonathan Cheechoo
Ray Whitney-Mike Ricci-Jeff Odgers
Scott Hannan-Dan Boyle
Mike Rathje-Sandis Ozolinsh
Marcus Ragnarsson-Bryan Marchment
Evgeni Nabokov
Arturs Irbe
San Jose Sharks
Marleau-Thornton-Heatley/Cheechoo
Friesen-Damphousse-Nolan
Michalek-Pavelski/Larionov-Clowe
Sturm-Ricci-Sundstrom
Setoguchi-Larionov/Pavelski-Cheechoo/Heatley
Too hard to choose, so I made five lines. I agree with what you said about Larionov, and I am leaning toward putting him on the "third" line, but I'm still unsure.
Vlasic-Boyle
Hannan-Stuart
Ragnarsson-Rathje
McLaren-Ozolinsh
I'm pretty sure about the three pairings, but I decided to include a fourth as well. Marchment would be my 9th defenceman here, if I had one.
Nabokov

Toronto Maple Leafs
Jackson-Primeau-Conacher
Smith-Kennedy-Dye
Mahovlich-Keon-Sittler
Sundin-Apps-Drillon
Extras could be: Armstrong, Gilmour, Ellis, McDonald, Vaive, Pulford
Tough choices here. This is one of the few forward lineups that I am really unsure about. I didn't follow by positions either, though I tried when I could.
Salming-Cameron
Clancy-Day
Horton-Stanley
Extras could be: Baun, Kaberle, Brewer
Broda
Bower
Potvin
Potvin is not "for sure" by any means, and both Broda and Bower are far above him. After those two, there is a huge mix of goalies that could take that third spot.
Based on what happened in Ottawa:
Heatley-Spezza-Alfredsson
Arvedson-Yashin-Hossa
Schaefer-Bonk-Mceachern
Kelly-Fisher-Havlat
Redden-Chara
Phillips-Mezaros
York-Rachunek
Lalime

Ottawa Senators
Heatley-Spezza-Alfredsson

Arvedson-Bonk-McEachern
Vermette-Fisher-Kelly
Extras could be: Dackell, Neil, Schaefer, Daigle
Chara-Phillips
Redden-Volchenkov
York-Duchesne
I would be okay with taking out Duchesne for any of: Meszaros, Kravchuk, Laukkanen.
