Don’t forget Palffy

Lemieux > Gretzky, Crosby > messier, jagr > kurri, Coffey = Coffey, maf > fuhr. Doesn’t add up ek.

Weight, Arnott, Guerin, Damphousse, Draisaitl, Nuge, Simpson, Tikkanen, Oates, Nicholls, Graves, Nilsson, Peca, Samsonov,

Lowe, Huddy, Gregg, Smith, Klefbom, Larsson, J Smith

I think the "new blood" on the Oilers (McDavid, Leon, Nuge, Klefbom, Larsson, Hall, Eberle, etc.) put the Oilers over the top.

I'm also biased that McDavid>Crosby and Gretzy>Lemieux, which PIT fans might not agree.

I have my doubts about Montreal and Boston however!
- JLO961

Lol. No doubt you have some good young players, but to say the new blood put the Oilers over the top when the new blood can't qualify for playoffs is pretty ridiculous.

Just out of curiosity, how does a list for New Jersey not have John MacLean on it? The guy had 347 g, 354 a = 701 PTS. He also had 53 GWG's & 98 PPG's & a Stanley Cup on his resume as Devil too.

What are your thoughts????

That you’re putting too much stock into a poopty list by a third rate website.

Jets are way too low on that list:

Steen-Hawerchuk-Maclean
Hull-Nilson-Hedberg
Tkachuk-Zhamnov-Selanne
Laine-Scheifele-Wheeler

Housley-Lindstrom
Numminen-Byfuglien
Morrissey-Ellett

Khabibulin
Hellebyuck

Mix and match the forwards however you like, can't beat that team!

Dave Ellett over Randy Carlyle?

exactly

The oilers were a better team than the team that lost 8 regular season games ?

You think Lemieux is better than Gretzky? Maybe equal but not better.
- sabreadvocate1

Not even equal.
Gretzky >>>>>>> Everyone.

I don't think you're grasping the requirements of this exercise. It's not best team, it's best all time roster.

Lafleur, Lemaire, Shutt
Lach, Beliveau, M. Richard
F Mahovlich, H. Richard, Geoffrion
Gainey, Carboneau, Cournoyer

We’ve got Ferguson, Risebrough
Morenz, D. Moore, Rousseau,
C. Provost, P. Mahovlich, Koivu.
Want some other guys: Damphouse, Turgeon, Kovalev
WHA Stars Tardiff and Houle
50 Goal scores Napier, Larouche all waiting

Then this is where no one competes.
Defence and in the Net:
Robinson, Savard
Lapointe, Chelios
Harvey, JC Tremblay

Laperriere, Langway, Weber and Subban all waiting

In Goal..
Plante and Roy

Price waits

(Oh yeah guys like Vachon, T Esposito
Worsley, Moog, Vezina all played for the Habs too)


Habs are #1

Yeah, yeah, get your digs in

Just lookin at all time rosters. Jersey’s forwards seem lacking. Marty is arguably top 3 all time in net, but I just don’t think they hang with a few others behind them when it comes to scoring.
- Hesh_

Don't forget about John MacLean, Pat Verbeek, Brendan Shanahan, Kirk Mueller, Neal Broten, Claude Lemiex, Jamie Langenbrunner, Jason Arnott, John Madden, Stephan Richer and Peter Stasny. All superior offensive players

- Power29

Agree completely....see above. A bigger WHY - is why would Holik be on this list? He was a 3rd liner

How does Pronger count for the Oilers but Gretzky doesn’t count for the Blues?

Oates - Gretzky - Hull
Pronger/Stevens - McInnis
Fuhr

There’s no way that’s only #19.

- Crushers68

They’re really nice players. They’re still not quite good enough when put against other all-time rosters

And superior is stretching it with a few of those.

That lineup is so talented and deep at every position that it's borderline ridiculous.

Weight, Arnott, Guerin, Damphousse, Draisaitl, Nuge, Simpson, Tikkanen, Oates, Nicholls, Graves, Nilsson, Peca, Samsonov,

Lowe, Huddy, Gregg, Smith, Klefbom, Larsson, J Smith

- JLO961

wait, WHAT?

1. Montreal
2. Detroit
3. Pittsburgh
4. Edmonton

Pittsburgh has the best top line, but Montreal and Detroit are close and have better defense / goaltending.

huh?

Robitialle Lemieux Jagr
Hossa Crosby Stevens
Kessel Malkin Kovalev
Recchi Francis Naslund

Coffey Letang
Murphy Zubov
Carlisle Gonchar

Barrasso
Fleury

Reserves

Tocchet, Mullen, Staal, Nedved, Trottier, Iginla, Palffy,
- RoloTahmasee

A pretty good team but it has nothing on the wings, that 02 cup winning team was the most stacked team ever and it doesn't even include Gordy and all the red wings greats

Where's Straka? Can't believe he couldn't get at least a mention.
- Barnaby36

Or Kasparitis?!?

wait, WHAT?

- RoloTahmasee

He has freaking Nuge in there...may as well through Nail Yakapov on it as well lol
