Always a tough but interesting discussion. For one thing, do you only get said players during their tenure with the team? Gretsky in NY is different than Gretsky in EDM, as a point.
I mean, at one point, Detroit had the entire Hall of Fame on their active roster in 2002, but none of said players were truly in their prime at the point (expect maybe Fedorov...). But if you could have them all in their prime...
Centers: Delvecchio, Yzerman, Fedorov, Datsyuk
Wings: Howe, Lindsey, Shanahan, Hull, Zetterberg, Holmstrom, Dionne, Abel, Probert, Larionov (not a wing, but that's up to the coach, not me).
Defense: Lidstrom, Kelly, Larson, Coffey, Konstantinov, Chelios, Murphy, Fetisov
Goalie: Sawchuk, Hasek, Osgood
My apologies to Vernon, Kozlov, and Fischer (who never had the chance to show how good he would be).
