Wow. Surprisingly tough. I guess I'd be tempted to go with some topics of recent conversation and start with a defensive "squad" consisting of:
Langway, Robinson, Orr, Bourque (but all are LH shots, and a wise choice in Harvey, albeit another LH shot, obviously gets omitted. Also, I have always thought of Scott Stevens as better value 5-on-5, so he doesn't get consideration from me here. Feel bad not having Lidstrom, either, but similar deal).
Forwards... Forwards... I love Gretzky, and his SH goals, but I don't think I'll jump on that trendy pick. For me, Clarke and Gainey have to be there. Maybe Carbonneau and/or Madden, but that makes me feel like I'm leaving out some better (but perhaps less "sexy") picks from earlier years. I'm gonna have to think about it a bit more.
