Preferably current players.
C-Sidney Crosby
LW-Alex Ovechkin
RW-Jerome Iginla
D-Duncan Keith
G-Ryan Miller
left wing: ovechkin- dynamic offensively and he brings it every game. He is a threat every time he touches the puck.
center: crosby- very skilled with the puck, has great vision and can score goals. Also can win draws and is very good in his own zone. (toews and datsyuk are close seconds)
right wing: parise- very quick, has great hands and has a good shot. He also is great defensively and works hard every night.
defense:keith- moves to puck great, has a good shot and has great vision. He is good in his own zone positional and he battles for pucks better than anyone in the league. He is a great skater, can play in all situations and is a work horse.
goalie: miller- he just stops pucks and doesn’t leave rebounds. He doesn’t need a ton of shots to be on also.
LW : Alex Ovechkin
C : Cindy Crybaby Crosby
RW : Michael Cammalleri / Patrick Kane
D : Chris Pronger / PK Subban is gonna be one hell of a def
G : Ryan Miller
Left Wing: Ovechkin
Center: Toews
Right Wing: Gaborik
Defense: Keith
Goalie: Anderson
I’m with Goligoski on this one.
LW – Ovechkin
C – Crosby (hate to admit it)
RW- Parise
D – Volchenkov, Chara
G – Vokoun, Lundqvist
edit: Got a thumb down, which one?
Left Wing – Alex Ovechkin (scoring machine)
Center – Pavel Datsyuk (all around ability – best two-way forward in the game)
Right Wing – Marian Gaborik (speed, creative play, great size – consistent 30 goal scorer even on a defensive team like Minnesota)
Defense – Duncan Keith (has it all, speed, scoring, toughness)
Goalie – Martin Brodeur (consistently the best goalie the last 15 years – ultimate big game player)
LW: OVECHKIN
C: CROSBY
RW: IGINLA
D: PRONGER
D: KEITH
G: MILLER
Left Wing: Ovechkin
Center: Crosby
Right Wing: Patrick Kane
Defense: Chara and Keith
Goalie: Miller and for backup Rask
Ovechkin-Best player in the league. Scores, hits, provides energy, toughness, goes to the net, great passer, amazing shot. Complete skill package.
Crosby-Great leader, knows how to win, 2nd best passer in the league behind Joey Thornton, can score great goals, amazing puckhandler and deker.
Iginla-Consistently a top forward in the league, still a great goalscorer and franchise player, leader, a physical force every game, knows where to position himself, not a bad defensive player.
Honourable mentions: Malkin, Datsyuk, Gaborik
Pronger-Extremely adept in all situations. Good mobility for a big man, great leader, crushing hitter, great size, underrated puck and passing skills, great slapshot, always competitive and doesn’t allow other players to get under his skin.
Honourable mentions: Keith, Chara, Doughty
Lundqvist: Great goaltender, has consistently put up great numbers since his rookie season even with an average defence, can steal games for his team.
Honourable mentions: Miller, Luongo
without a doubt, Nicklas Lidstrom. He was recently voted THE best defenceman in the league by other current NHL players. despite his age, he is a master at taking away chances and shutting down play’s.
