The Oilers dressed Zack Stortini, Colin Fraser, and Steve MacIntyre against the Leafs a few nights ago and it made me wonder if they would be the toughest line in the NHL? Any thoughts?

Don't know about the NHL, but that Sugdon/Gratton/Verot line seems to be doing pretty well in the KHL.
Teams rarely dress true heavies enough to consistently play them on the same line with other enforcers. Just the way it is now in the NHL. If a heavy plays, some other tough guy sits in his place.

Came in here to say this line. Gillies can go with anyone in the league at all, Konopka is a legit heavyweight and Matt Martin can go with msot light heavyweights and is a very good middle weight.Trevor Gillies - Zenon Konopka - Matt Martin
is a good one
My money is on this line as the toughest in the league.
I would like to see Detroit trade Hudler for Martin now that I think about it. He's a pretty good player and hits like a truck. Hes not just a goon, he can be a solid third liner some day

I'd say one of the toughest teams in the league is Edmonton, with Steve MacIntyre, Colin Fraser, Zack Stortini, Jim Vandermeer, Theo Peckham, Jason Strudwick, J-F Jacques. Jordan Eberle and Taylor Hall won't be getting pushed around when they're surrounded by guys like that.

Eberle and Hall won't be getting much scoring support when they're surrounded by guys like that.

Having seven is very counterproductive. That said, I would bet that winning is the thing most important to them.

You can never have too many of those types of guys in the lineup. Jacques can put up some points. Vandermeer, Strudwick, and Peckham are all solid stay at home defensemen. Edmonton's got a bright future with Omark and Paajarvi to go along with Hall and Eberle.Having seven is very counterproductive.

Don't forget Sam Gagner. He's only 21 if I remember correctly.

Gillies- Konopka- Martin is my vote for the toughest line. I don't know if the Leafs have played this line this year, but Orr- Brown- Rosehill would be very tough as well.

Gillies knocked around Bissonnette pretty good tonight. Quickly becoming one of the most feared enforcers in the NHL.

I didn't think we'd see him in the NHL again after he got KO'd by Boogaard several years back.
He's doing pretty good for himself now.

Happy to see him with a regular spot on Long Island. One of the few pure goons in today's NHL.I didn't think we'd see him in the NHL again after he got KO'd by Boogaard several years back.
