greatest players to ever wear the winged-wheel

[Guest blueadams]

This thread isn't about who had the greatest (i.e. long) career with us, or who was the greatest while with us...it's about the greatest all-time players that ever came through here.

Here's the 23 man roster I put together. 21 Hall of Famers (and 2 soon-to-be Hall of Famers - Lidstrom and Hasek). I had to leave off at least 4 Hall of Famers that I know of. Pretty insanse how fortunate Red Wings fans have been.

Forwards:

T. Lindsay-S. Yzerman-G. Howe

F. Mahovlich-M. Dionne-B. Hull

J. Bucyk-A. Delvecchio-C. Conacher

L. Robataille-S. Abel-A. Bathgate

N. Ullman

Defensemen:

D. Harvey-N. Lidstrom

R. Kelly-P. Coffey

B. Park-C. Chelios

E. Seibert

Goalies:

T. Sawchuck

D. Hasek

G. Hall

I understand it's the best players who happened to have played for the Wings at one point but the fact harvey played just 2 games for DET is a little cheesy

I was going to make a joke and ask that you build line combos out of the greatest players, but yeah...

You're kinda slow, because I knew it was going to be line combos before I even clicked on the thread.
