The one with Gretzky

The one with Gretzky

Not when he has two anchors to pull alongside him.

No, still then.

I would take Gretzky and two anchors over three elite players.

 

[TheRarestDangles]

Kassian > Landeskog so I take the Edmonton trio

What is this thread lol?

 

[The Moose is Loose]

Gretzky with 2 3rd liners would still be one of the best lines in the league. Kassian gets some slack, deservedly, around here, but he’s not a complete plug. He does well with McDavid, Gretzky could turn him up even another notch.

Then again the Avs’ first currently is one of the very best in the league

Honestly good poll, I don’t know which to pick. Normally I defer to the option with Gretzky in literally any poll but this one is tough

The line withOUT the Oiler plugs

 

[I Hate Blake Coleman]

Gretzky would simply find a way to get a pass to his wingers if they were open.

 

[EXTRAS]

If gretzky puts up a 90 goal, 215 point season, he could be facing mcdavid and draistl putting up 135 points each and you still go with him.

 

[Three On Zero]

Gretzky with two 4th line plugs vs. A complete full top line?

 

[NyQuil]

It’s like people forgot who Mike Krushelnyski was.

 

[Northern Avs Fan]

Gretzky was the best, but this is asking too much of him.

 

[Adele Dazeem]

It’s like people forgot who Mike Krushelnyski was.

Mike was a decent player. Kassian/Yamamoto are below average.

 

[Gurglesons]

Gretzky.

 

[KoozNetsOff 92]

Gretzky.

 

[Xspyrit]

In today's game?

Gabriel Landeskog - Nathan MacKinnon - Mikko Rantanen

AINEC

 

[daver]

Is this supposed to represent McDavid's most common linemates?

I went with Gretzky.

Honestly Kassian would be a fantastic winger for Gretzky. He's big but reasonably mobile. He could just park and wait for Gretzky to get the puck to him. And yes Gretz did that better than even McDavid or Drai can. And if anyone touched Gretzky, Kassian can go full crazy on them.

Not when he has two anchors to pull alongside him.

You realized Gretzky played along side Dave Semenko solely so he would beat up whomever touched him?

 

[Devil Dancer]

Funny poll, I have no idea.

 

[Canadiens Ghost]

I rarely vote against Gretzky. This is one of those exceptions. Gretzky is the best ever but he didn't get his point totals playing with two marginal players, he had at least one good linemate called Kurri by his side. Good poll nonetheless.

 

[I know]

Wtf is going on here? Obviously the avs line is better.

See two posts below yours. Semenko had a pupose; don't argue Kassian could do the same.
