Which line would you choose for your team if they all spent their prime years together (mostly healthy too) and assuming they all developed great chemistry?

Forsberg/Crosby/Lindros

Zetterberg/Fedorov/Datsyuk

Ovechkin/McDavid/Bure

Kovalchuk/Sakic/Jagr

Kopitar/Toews/Bergeron

Semin/Lemieux/Kovalev

Getzlaf/Malkin/Kane

Yzerman/Messier/Iginla

The ability to take a healthy Forsberg/Lindros makes this a pretty easy poll. Especially when the 3rd guy is Crosby. Although, it's pretty hard to pass on the idea of McDavid setting up two 60+ goal guys with the speed to actually keep up with him

Either one of these lines will make you have to just hand the cup to them before the season starts for the next 15 years if all are young so I'll be happy with any of these lol. Definitely Foppa-Crosby-Lindros though

I like the idea of the poll, even though it's going to be heavily lopsided

Yeah I was just curious if any of those other lines would get more votes, I thought maybe a lot more would vote for the Lemieux line just because of Lemieux.

Can we split them up?

Lindros - Crosby - Eriksson
Sedin - Sedin - Forsberg
Baertschi - Horvat - Boeser
Granlund - Sutter - Gagner
Virtanen

Forsberg+Crosby with a net-front precence like Lindros wins this easily.

Lines which won't have any player with a net-front ability, would be poor, just wasting talent. I would split them on different lines.

Good constructed:
Messier - Yzerman - Iginla
Malkin - Getzlaf - Kane
Toews - Kopitar - Bergeron
Crosby - Forsberg - Lindros

Poor constructed lines:
Semin - Lemieux - Kovalev
Kovalchuk - Sakic - Jagr
Ovechkin - McDavid - Bure

Too lopsided. Voted for Lemieux because maybe he could make some magic happen, but it's easily the Lindros line.

Forsberg-Crosby-Lindros
Maroon-McDavid-Drai
Lucic-Hopkins-Strome
Slepy-Letesnu-Kassian
Drake

Jokinen and Juju put on waivers.
Puljujari spends the entire next season in the AHL.
Drake probably demands to be traded 5 games into the season. LOL
Drai and McDavid probably both end up playing on the 2nd PP unit.
Drai and Forsberg center the 2 PK units.
