Inspired by Bingo's daily jersey vote and looooob's posts in those threads.

What would be the Flames all time starting line?

For the sake of the exercise forwards need to be in their correct position to keep things interesting. For example Backlund can't be put as a winger (Ward!), or Gaudreau as a center. I think for D men handedness shouldn't matter ( Gulutzan!).

It is hard to pick only 6 players but I would go with

Johnny Gaudreau-Joe Nieuwendyk- Jarome Iginla

Mark Giordano - Al MacInnis

Miikka Kiprusoff

The hardest choice was left wing. I went with Johnny Hockey simply because when he is on he is nearly unstoppable and has the puck on a string. Watching him feed MacInnis and Iginla would be an absolute treat.

Also, I went with Gio over Suter because I think captaincy matters, and having three former captains on the all time first line just feels right.
