Gretzky would be on the Kings and Oilers Mt. Rushmore. Bourque would maybe be on both the Bruins and Avs (though I would disagree with that). There's probably others but I'm struggling to come up with them.

So that's why I didn't vote for him.

A Flames D Mt. Rushmore is also fun to think of:

Macinnis, Suter, Gio: Slam dunks.

The 4th is trickier: for me it's Reinhart or Macoun. But you could actually make a pretty good argument for TJ Brodie.

These are fun exercises.
Didn’t CP do an all time Flames lineup at some point? 4 lines, 3 pairings and two goalies?
