two things-
1. Maple Leaf fans have sadly no knowledge of past players. The original lineup was horrible.
2. pnep, youre spot on. Please do a Kings one, I want to see what you have the lineup at.

Minor quibbles:

Z. Palffy in for D. Sutter
P. Turgeon in for R. Goring
K. Jonsson in for G. Lane

 

[12YearExtension]

Maybe the Penguins have the best depth down the middle... wow.

Actually, this is without knowledge off the old Wings.

Yzerman, Fedorov, Datsyuk, Zetterberg is a nice lineup of centers.

[Gilligan]

Sorry if this has been done already or suggested before, but why not a poll for each franchise as to the the best alltime rosters? Could settle alot of bets and debates

 

[Leafs Forever]

Toronto Arenas -- Toronto St. Patricks -- Toronto Maple Leafs (1917-09)

Frank "Big M" Mahovlich -- C.J. Syl "Slippery Syl" Apps -- Charlie "Big Blue Bomber" Conacher
Harvey "Busher" Jackson -- Ted "Teeder" Kennedy -- Cecil "Babe" Dye

Allan "Snowshoes" Stanley -- Carl "Skitz" Brewer

Turk "Old Slippery" Broda
Johnny "China Wall" Bower
Harry "Apple Cheeks" Lumley
​

Great stuff. Only things I would change are Gilmour over Sundin (or perhaps as an extra). I also really think Hap Day belongs on the blue-line; perhaps over Stanley.

I think the four best would be Montreal, Detroit, Pittsburgh, and Boston, it'd be interesting to see a poll though.

 

[TheDevilMadeMe]

All Time Devils:

Patrik Elias - Kirk Muller - John MacLean
Stephane Richer - Doug Gilmour - Claude Lemieux
Zach Parise - Bobby Holik - Jamie Langenbrunner
Jay Pandolfo - John Madden - Randy McKay

Scott Stevens - Brian Rafalski
Ken Daneyko - Scott Niedermayer
Paul Martin - Bruce Driver

Martin Brodeur
Sean Burke

I couldn't resist keeping the Top 2 pairings from the 2000 team together.
