Was recently chatting with some friends about which team has the best lineup of past or current Flames — or, rather, if any other team could beat the hybrid Calgary Panthers:
Gary Roberts – Joe Nieuwendyk – Matthew Tkachuk
Jonathan Huberdeau – Sam Bennett – Jaromir Jagr
Cory Stillman – Olli Jokinen – Valeri Bure
Martin Gelinas – Dave Gagner – Michael Frolik
Todd Bertuzzi / Jiri Hudler / Kristian Huselius
Jay Bouwmeester – MacKenzie Weegar
Jordan Leopold – Dennis Wideman
Todd Simpson – Rhett Warrener
Steve Montador / Erik Gudbranson
Mike Vernon
Jacob Markstrom
Trevor Kidd
To help pass the time, I decided to come up with a few different teams
for a piece over at FlamesNation. As you might expect, the hybrid Calgary Blues would be a powerhouse, whereas the Edmonton Flames are truly No Good.
But I ask you ... what's the best lineup you can make out of players who played for both the Flames and another team? (
