Pick Your All-Time Favorite Nine

I don't think the Wild necessarily have a long enough history for this, but here are my 9 favorites over the last 17 years.

Gaborik
Rolston
Roloson
Koivu
Parise
Brunette
Bouchard
Walz
Burns (maybe Suter)

Heck, why not a Minnesota North Stars entry (keeping just to guys that had time with the North Stars... no exclusive Southern Dallas Stars guys)

Broten
Bellows
Ciccarelli (this guy gets no love!)
Bobby Smith
Craig Hartsburg
JP Parise
Mike Modano (14th all time in Minnesota scoring, but almost a point per game)
Cesare Maniago
Gilles Meloche

This is actually a great idea. I loved watching Broten, Modano, Bellows and Ciccarelli (I would agree he gets no love, great player) when I was younger growing up in the Twin Cities. And JP Parise had a short stint as GM and Coach of my Des Moines Buccaneers, which is actually how I got to meet Zach.

For the Canucks, I'd love to see a card with the more colourful characters like Harold Snepts, Gino Odjick, Tiger Williams, etc... but in terms of best players:

Gotta go with the four guys who've had their jerseys retired...

Stan Smyl
Markus Naslund
Trevor Linden
Pavel Bure

Not that I'm biased or anything but the next two candidates:

Daniel Sedin
Henrik Sedin

A couple pretty clear choices in the crease...

Kirk McLean
Roberto Luongo

There were a number of guys I thought about for my final pick... Richard
Brodeur, Thonas Gradin, Mattias Ohlund, Jyrki Lumme, Tony Tanti...

Basically above. Unless we are talking best all-time 9 in another category:

Tiger Williams
Curt Fraser
Craig Coxe
Ronnie Stern
Gino Odjick
Shawn Antoski
Tim Hunter
Donald Brashear
Rick Rypien

Other: Scott Walker, Jack McIlhargey, Darcy Hordichuk, Derek Dorsett, Tom Sestito, Jeff Cowan

Glenn Hall
Bernie Federko
Brian Sutter

Al MacInnis
Chris Pronger
Bob Plager

9 spots wasn't enough to get everybody on, if you have Bob on there then you need Barclay and Gassoff and Arbour and the list goes on:beer:
 
Detroit:

Yzerman
Shanahan
Fedorov
McCarty
Draper
Maltby
Lidstrom
Osgood
Vernon

Brings back my fondest memories of the franchise in my lifetime.

If we are going all time:

Yzerman
Shanahan
Fedorov
Howe
Lindsay
Abel
Lidstrom
Osgood
Sawchuk

Pittsburgh Penguins

Mario Lemieux
Sidney Crosby
Kevin Stevens
Jaromir Jagr
Evgeni Malkin
Ron Francis
Paul Coffey
Kris Letang
Tom Barrasso

Best Pittsburgh list since mine. :devil: Although I don't doubt Letang deserves to be in the discussion, I find it hard to believe nobody else besides me puts Larry Murphy in there. He was a key player in their two, early 90's Cup victories. I know he played for a few other teams in his career, but to many Pens fans that can remember the days before Sid and Malkin, Murphy cannot be forgotten. I like also that someone finally put Kevin Stevens in there too. Two fifty plus goal seasons and two forty goal seasons. Don't know how people can leave him off unless they're too young to know who he was. You have to look at what a player did and what he meant for a particular team. The early to mid-nineties Pens wouldn't have been the same without Stevens.

Truth. Personally, i would put Scott Stevens on such a list over most players, i just thought that his one season with the 'Note wasn't long enough to qualify him for such a list.
 
Need some help with the following teams, any ideas?

Ottawa Senators
Tampa Bay Lightning
Minnesota Wild
Arizona Coyotes.

Brian Price
 
Ottawa: I keep thinking about Daigle, Heatly, Alfredsson, Spezza, Karlsson, Craig Anderson, Chris Phillips, Yashin, Chris Neal, Wade Redden ( I know its 10, just what I could come up with, sorry I'm a Leaf fan)
