I actually didn't mean it in a sense that it would be a 6 team league. I'd have to see what other divisions could muster up, but if that line could find chemistry I see no reason why it couldn't be the best even in a 6 team league.
And as good as that Bruins line was last season, do you honestly believe it would beat that Kopitar line in terms of two-way play? Pavelski and Eriksson are both excellent defensive forwards, and both have shown ability to hit 30 goals. Pavelski is also a consistent 60+ point producer, and Erikkson has now hit 70 points 3 years in a row. Kopitar might not be as good as Bergeron defensively, but Kopitar definitely brings more offence to the table than Bergeron.
Earlier in the thread a Zetterberg/Datsyuk/Sharp line is posted for the Central. Toews and Backes are also on the team. That's five of the league's absolute best two-way forwards. It would be hard to make a better line than three of them together from pieces that don't include them. Especially when Hossa is also unavailable for selection. But this could perhaps be a separate thread on its own.

I understand the need to have your team under the salary cap, but really Maxim Lapierre on a division all star team?
