None of them have Datsyuk, so uh, I'd probably fold my team and buy an NFL franchise instead. Waste of time and money here, guy.

1 pretty easily

 

[RefalancheStillLose]

I'm taking 2

 

[Castle8130]

None, their all in their 40's and over.

 

[Leafsrock95]

2nd one easy

 

[Brucelenok]

1st one easily. Based on what we know about the players

 

[Ducks in a row]

I don't know how any of them could be taken easily over another and the votes so far dont suggest a easy choice.

Wayne Gretzky & Orr 10 points each.
Lemiux & Borque 8 points each
Messier 7 points
Joe Sakic, Yzerman and Forsberg 6 points each
Chelios 5 points.

Team 1 = 21 points.
Team 2 = 22 points
Team 3 = 23 points.

Funnily enough I went with team 1 before I added this up.

Why Chelios? He seems to not fit with this grouping of players. He was really good, but not in the same level as the others.

Probably to offset Gretzky

Option 2 by a smidgen.....

 

[HyPnOtiK]

#1 &2 are very close. #3 is a distant 3rd. Went with #2, the deciding factor being Borque over Chelios

 

[Hogan86]

Option 2. Second best dman of the group, and the number 2 and 3 best forwards in my opinion.

Because I looked at the players and it was an easy choice didn’t have to really think about it. Not sayin theres a big gap between these 3 but wasn’t a tough choice.

Option 2

Tough to not take Gretzky but the gap between Bourque and Chelios is too big to pass up. I am not a huge Messier fan and I realize that he finished with a lot of high stats all time but I don't think he is close to Gretzky/Lemieux so easy to pass on that 3rd group even with Orr there.
