Coffey/Leetch pair is redundant the other two complement each other better. But as far as offense from the blue line you can't do better than Coffey/Leetch
The intriguing thing about Bourque/Stevens is the question of which Scott Stevens you're getting -- the offensive machine or the defensive terror?
And in turn, how is Bourque compensating for him? Is he running around going crazy on offense, or feeding assists while playing a more heady defensive game?
Depending on the timing, that pairing could dominate in completely different ways.
Bourque is clearly the best among the group of top defenceman on each pairing, and Stevens is roughly equal to the other two lesser defencemen. I'd take Bourque and Stevens comfortably.
Bourque and Stevens wouldn't be fair. You split them up and have two pairings that would be both offensively and defensively elite no matter who you partner them with even if other two guys are even average. The other four are all great but Bourque is clearly the best and Stevens could be argued is not much off any other player mentioned if not better.
