Connor McDavid

Bobby Orr

Pavel Bure



after that, every player has a linemate they work or worked best with.

Kucherov and Point or Stamkos.

Gaudreau and Monahan and Lindholm.

Marner and Tavares or Matthews

Marchand and Bergeron or Krejci



If anything Backlund is the guy who doesn't belong in this conversation.


In the history of hockey?

A pretty incomplete list I would think.

I’m also pretty sure that Bobby Orr was never a one man line LOL.

BTW, Mario Lemieux played with a number of great players like Jagr, Francis and Stevens.
