  1. I would probably switch Eric Staal with Koivu, at his best with us, Staal was putting up 70 point seasons during a low scoring time period.

  2. I feel like this really drives home the lack of high end centers we’ve had in our franchise history.

  3. Zucc is the only one that really surprises me on here.

    Glad to see Fiala still getting some love. Was looking at our franchise records recently and he’s tied for second in PPG with Gaborik, behind Kirill and right ahead of Boldy. He was crazy fun to watch on our team.

  4. for a true 1st line scorer, I want Eric Staal his first couple years with us. Koivu & Ek as 2nd and 3rd line centers are excellent.
    PMB needs to be somewhere in here, as does Nick Shultz.

    Last, Suter & Spurgeon are 1st pair. We keep letting Suter’s last couple seasons sour our taste of him, but his first few seasons with us he was an annual Norris contender, and he was a hair away from winning a Norris with us one year.

    Faber is waayy too much recency bias, the heck? With all due respect, he shouldn’t even be on here. Add Nick Shultz there – him and Brodin would be impossible to play against.

  5. I personally would like to see the amazing blazing Asian sensation that is Richard Park. He was always one of my favorites.

  6. Filip Kuba is underrated. He was the number 1 defenseman under Lemaire for a while.

    Pavol Demitra should be on the list as well. 

  7. Burns on the third defensive pair is booty cheeks. He is and always will be “the one that got away”

  8. Need a 26th forward spot for Boogaard as “Sits on bench looking menacing waiting to destroy.”

  9. Sub out Fiala on the 4th line for prime Latendresse and I’m all in on this

  10. I’d give Granlund credit for his seasons at center before naming Wes Walz the fourth-best in franchise history.

  11. Granlund, Pavol Demitra, Sergei Zholtok, Jason Pominville was even decent, don’t forget Guiamlle Latendresse

  12. Wes Walz? Why because he’s an announcer. Pavol Demitra definitely should be on the center list over Walz even though he wasn’t there long. Him & Gaborik were magic together.
