zetterbergfan 23 Report post Posted March 18, 2010 (edited) I will start by saying I have no idea if this has been posted in another thread before. I am sure it has. Anyway, here is my ALL-time Wings roster... I went with the idea that I wanted to keep my players grouped in relative eras (as much as possible). I used a lot of centers on the wings to make this happen. FORWARDS Lindsay Abel Howe Shanahan Yzerman Fedorov Zetterberg Datsyuk Holmstrom Libett Delvecchio Ullman Gallant DEFENSEMEN Lidstrom Konstantinov Kelly Pronovost Larson Chelios Bergman GOALIES Sawchuk Osgood Hasek ***I'm just bored waiting for the next game*** Edited March 18, 2010 by zetterbergfan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I didn't get to see the veteran stars play enough to name any of them, so this would be my list also. Although I might throw in Fetisov instead of Fisher.

I had Fetisov in there first, but then I got to thinking how much I would have wanted for Fisher to be able to keep playing so I put him in there instead..

Good point about Fisher. I know he can't be happy that he's not playing any more but I hope he still feels like he's a real part of the Wings' organization.

cjm502 165 Report post Posted March 19, 2010 This is what I'd want to see. Fedorov - Yzerman - Howe Shanahan - Datsyuk - Zetterberg Maltby - Draper - McCarty Grimson - Probert - Kocur Lidstrom - Murphy Fetisov - Konstantinov Lilja - Chelios Hasek Osgood 2 scoring lines, one defensive checking line, and one kick your ass line. Sounds good to me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

titanium2 867 Report post Posted March 19, 2010 These threads are hard for me because generally speaking aren't the players of today a lot better than last decade's and the decade before that and so forth? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MCleveland89 122 Report post Posted March 19, 2010 These threads are hard for me because generally speaking aren't the players of today a lot better than last decade's and the decade before that and so forth? It's so hard to measure because of differences in rules and equipment, but I always wonder the same thing. By the way, you guys are making me miss Konstantinov more and more.

titanium2 867 Report post Posted March 19, 2010 Here is my 23 man roster. At least as of right now. As opposed to putting all the super talents together I really wanted to focus more on best chemistry and fit: Yzerman-Abel-Howe Shanahan-Fedorov-Holmstrom Lindsay-Delvecchio-Probert Datsyuk-Zetterberg-Franzen Kocur-Aurie Lidstrom-Murphy Kelly-Konstantinov Fischer-Chelios Kronwall Sawchuk-Hasek This is definitely one of those things where I think of minor changes later on and feel the need to adjust it.

titanium2 867 Report post Posted March 19, 2010 If I were to limit the roster to players I was old enough to watch then this would be my 23 man roster: Shanahan-Yzerman-Ciccarelli Fedorov-Larionov-Holmstrom Zetterberg-Datsyuk-Franzen Probert-Draper-Kocur Helm-Kozlov Lidstrom-Murphy Kronwall-Konstantinov Fischer-Chelios Rafalski Hasek-Osgood Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

eva unit zero 271 Report post Posted March 19, 2010 I notice that a lot of people are using "What if" potential to make out their rosters, where a player who was excelling, already a very good player. who was showing amazing potential to become a superstar in the NHL is making the All-Wings team. With that in mind, while still using the "Wings career only" requirement and assuming all "potential" stars or current players being ranked on current and future career will or would have remained with the team, I submit the following: G.Howe Yzerman Lindsay Fedorov Delvecchio Abel Grigorenko Zetterberg Datsyuk Redmond Shanahan S.Howe Aurie Konstantinov Lidstrom Kelly Fischer Goodfellow Stewart Pronovost Sawchuk Osgood If you take out guys who haven't yet truly earned the "All-Time" honor, meaning Grigorenko, Redmond, Fischer, and Konstantinov, then the replacements might be Marcel Dionne, Bill Quackenbush, and Flash Hollett. Also, I have to take an exception with some teams' defensive rosters. Some posters have Slava Fetisov on their teams. While Slava was a great player, he was not better for Detroit offensively or defensively as Steve Chiasson was, nor did he play even half as many games. Chiasson was Detroit's top defenseman for years and was one of the better defensive defenseman in the league much of that time while providing strong offensive play.
