All-Time Edmonton Oilers Team

[ScottM]

 

We now come the the WHA merger teams, and first up because of their five Stanley Cups is the Edmonton Oilers. Unsurprisingly, the dynasty era is well represented, but possibly surprisingly, the current Oilers are represented as well. Despite their lack of success in recent years, there are some talented young players in Edmonton right now.

 

First Line: Esa Tikkanen, Wayne Gretzky, Jari Kurri

Second Line: Taylor Hall, Mark Messier, Glenn Anderson

Third Line: Ryan Smith, Doug Weight, Ales Hemsky

Fourth Line: Craig Simpson, Jordan Eberle, Dave Lumley

 

First Defensive Pair: Paul Coffey, Kevin Lowe

Second Defensive Pair: Charlie Huddy, Steve Smith

Third Defensive Pair: Lee Fogolin, Randy Gregg

 

Goaltenders: Grant Fuhr, Andy Moog, Bill Ranford

 

Coach: Glen Sather

 

Go ahead and completely scramble the left side of the offense if you want. Ranking the team's left wingers was a difficult task, and I'm still not sure that I'm satisfied with the job I did. I'm more comfortable with the center and right wing positions, and probably no shock to anyone found the first two lines at both of those positions to be easy choices. I really debated over the goalie rankings, and Tommy Salo could have found his way in as well, but the rankings I gave are what I feel best with.

No Rob Schremp or Yakupov, therefore your list loses all credibility, dont even try to explain, your reasoning loses all validity as well...
