Eklund: The Final List Is Here. The Best All-Time Roster in the NHL

cool story bro

booooo

Montreal.

So the only team that won 19 straight playoff series is number 5? SMH.

Most posters weren’t alive when Montreal was winning all those cups. Like the Habs or not, they were the best.

Shake your head all you want dummy, the list is not just about a teams glory years, it’s an ALL TIME ROSTER list, encompassing a franchises entire history.

The only thing that really stood out at me was NJ being so high. I would have them down further, and I would probably have Buffalo a little higher. Buffalo with Lafontaine, Mogilny, Perrault, Hawerchuk, Robert, Brierre, Turgeon, Gare, Andeychuk, Martin, Eichel, Hasek, Housley, Vanela, Satan, Dahlin, and Ramsey would make a pretty decent team.

all these good players yet the franchise hasnt won a cup in its existence..

I won,t even get into the hideous exclusion of Bobby Orr and just stick to the Islanders. The sixth player should absolutely be Stefan Persson not Kenny or Tomas Jonson or Ken Morrow. He is a significantly better player.

How Pit isn't #1 is a travesty. They have TWO generational talents and TWO borderlines in Malkin and Jagr.

u could make arguments for any team in the top 5 to be #1

But what else does Pittsburgh have? It isn’t pretty. Unless you get extra points for being a whiny female dog, then Crosby counts as two players

Montreal #1 and Toronto #2 All-Time ... that list is brutal and clearly skewed to modern era hockey.

There's like 11 teams that have won the cup

Bad argument

Entire list is invalidated based on stuff like Pronger counting for the Oilers but Gretzky doesn't count for the Blues. There is no standard of what makes a player count for a team, beyond a player having to come to Eklund's mind in the couple seconds he spends thinking about a team.

3rd is not bad considering you didn’t use their top players like you did for the other teams.

Man, get some new material. Thus is dated.

The first 17 teams listed have won cups.

Where's the list of players for 1-8?

Maybe you need to be "Season Ticket Holders"

Yeah, I’d prolly put Buffalo where Philly is, put Philly where NJ is, and move NJ back to Buffalo’s spot

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,

I'd like to see Edmonton's All Time full roster

The forwards get pretty average after Gretzky, Messier, McDavid, Hall, Kurri and Anderson - Gets into Doug Weight/Ryan Smyth territory real fast

No real notables on D beyond Coffey and Pronger

They can't roll out 18 like Pittsburgh can

Lemieux, Jagr, Crosby, Malkin, Francis, Coffey

Nice try EK
