Speculation: Buffalo Sabres Post Full-Season Lockout All Star Team

[Eye of Ra]

Curious to see how everyone would construct an All Star lineup from the 2005-06 season to the current one. The idea being to build a lineup assuming everyone is at their peak season during that timeframe. So longevity isn't important, but they can only play at the level they played at for your team.


Thomas Vanek - Danny Brière - Maxim Afinogenov
Tyler Ennis - Tim Connolly - Jason Pominville
Jochen Hecht - Chris Drury - J.P. Dumont
Ales Kotalik - Derek Roy - Drew Stafford

Brian Campbell - Jaroslav Spacek
Christian Erhoff - Tony Lydman
Tyler Myers - Andrej Sekera

Ryan Miller
Jonas Enroth

Can I just take the entire 05-06 team?

Thomas Vanek - Danny Brière - Maxim Afinogenov
Tyler Ennis - Drury - Jason Pominville
Matt Moulson - Roy - J.P. Dumont
Girgensons - Hecht - Evander Kane (he is technically a Sabre now)

Brian Campbell - Jaroslav Spacek
Christian Erhoff - Tony Lydman
Tyler Myers - Andrej Sekera

Ryan Miller
Jaroslav Halak (was a sabre for a very short while)

My memory is cloudy on Lydman and Spacek. Think Tallinder should maybe be in there instead of Lydman. Might also look for a spot for Jay McKee, in his prime he was a beastly D man for us.

Also took out Connolly in favour of Girgensons due to health reasons.

Ignioring that gawdy-awful ferret-like logo, my favorite Buffalo line-up in that time period (just after the Satan, Zhitnik era) would be:

The number of those players that were all on the team at the same time from 05-07 is heartbreaking
