Got to go with pure skill picks for a "best of" list. Sorry but that bumps Pahlsson and Niedermayer.

Also have to give props to my one of my old North Stars, Bellows. He sucked as a Duck but he had almost a 1PPG career.

I would move Bellows to the left side and make Petr Sykora 3rd line RW.

Is this team based on the players prime time in their NHL careers or just their prime with the Ducks.

Cause neither of Adam Oates, Jarri Kurri and Sandis Ozolinsh were in their prime with the Ducks and Tomas Sandstrom should be on the team if we're talking career prime.

S.Niedermayer - Chris Pronger
D3 - D4
D5 - D6

J.S. Giguere - Guy Hebert

I think C. Conway was a center if I'm not mistaken. Seriously though, I laughed out loud when I read this! Great stuff!

you should put there 1 player not all the rest

[iLau]

Getzlaf? Olausson?

[Talentless Practise*]

Where's Grimson?

I think he should be extra forward

Yes, it's Link.

In the picture, The Missing Link with some enthusiastic fan after he leaving the dressing room in the second intermission to go get a hot dog from an arena vendor. Well, he was suspended for the rest of the season after that by the team management.

[Twindad]

What about Mironov on D?

Titov wasn't all that bad but not good enough to make the list.

Scott Young??? Whatever happened to him anyway?

[Meanashell11]

What about Penner?? Shouldn't he be in there??

[FissionFire]

A couple names to consider:

Ron Tugnutt (His prime with Ottawa was pretty good)
Marty McInnis (Had some pretty good seasons with the Islanders)
Ted Donato (Not too bad with the Bruins)
Jeff Friesen (His prime with the Sharks was pretty good)
Vaclav Prospal (He's been pretty good in Tampa Bay)

[lux_interior]

Personally I would only consider how they played for the Ducks. Not if they signed a retirement contract with the Ducks and scored like 13 goals for them.

best coach, Gordon Bombay

im sorry i couldnt help myself

Fedorov in his prime was way better than Oates in his prime. Never mind the stats. And this comes from Euro basher.


E: Btw, you should give tough guys some credit too. Stu Grimson should be there. It ain't "all-time best roster" without some kick ass toughness. All-time best is not the same thing as "all-time skill".

[Elvstrand]

When has Mike Leclerc been any good?

If we're talkin career prime Tomas Sandstrom should get some serious consideration. Scoring 394 goals and 857 points in 983 games is very good, enspecielly if you're spending 1193 minutes in the pentaly box. Sandstrom also won one Stanley Cup in Detroit and have been a key player for several teams in this league.

[sphinxdaking]

We've had alot of good defencemen over the years, Olausson, Mironov, Sean Hill, Tverdovsky... These guys are goood timers for sure, but maybe not good enough for this list. But atleast Olausson should be on there.
