I should warn you that i don't know if they ever played together and the line name is made up but, for at least the 1991-92 season, Moscow Dyamo had Alexei Zhamnov, Alexei Yahin and Alexei Kovalev on the same team in addition to Darius Kasparaitis, Alexander Karpovtsev and Dmitri Yushkevich on defence. Imagine what these three talents could have done in their prime in the NHL or even in Russia, they could have rivaled a Alex Mogilny/Sergei Fedorov/Pavel Bure line for all-Russian dominance. It makes me feel bad for Russian hockey fans who had the future of their league stolen by the collapse of the Soviet Union (not that that didn't have certain benefits). Add Kasparaitis and Sergei Gonchar, who arrived the next season, with Mikhail Stalenkov in nets and you've got a team that could have a great rivalry with the Red Army trio mentioned above who would have Vladimir Konstantinov, Vladimir Malakhov, Sergei Zubov and Boris Mironov on D with Nokolai Khabibulin in nets
