My question is what teams would have done alot better if their roster was in their prime and/or not injured. I have come up with 3 examples below(Not in Order) can anyone think of more?
1)2003-2004 Leafs:
This roster was loaded with future Hall of Famers but too bad most of them were way over the hill in 04. If you look at some of their forwards they are stacked with some great players:
Sundin, Moginly,Nieuwendyk, Nolan, Roberts, and Francis. Thats 2 lines of great forwards.
On Defence they also have a couple of All-star players in:
Leetch, Kaberle and McCabe.
Add in a HHOF goalie in Belfour and you get one impressive roster.
2) 2003-2004 Colorado Avalanche:
This is one impressive roster but injuries and poor goaltending hurt this team. Players like Sakic, Forsberg, Tanguay, Hejduk, Kariya and Selanne up front with Blake, Foote and Liles on the point and Salo in net. I know Aebischer started but Salo in his prime was alot better than Aebischer. All though as a Flames fan I'm sure glad this team didn't live up to its promise or else the 04 Flames run wouldnt have included a Western Conference Championship.
3) 1979-1980 Hartford Whalers:
Any team with Howe and Hull on a line in their prime would be unstopable.
Any more???
