Team Alberta
Both of the provinces teams are currently in similar standings positions, at or near the bottom of the conference & league. Clearly not great. 
If the two teams consolidated into a single club who from the teams current rosters would that team consist of?
Design your preferred roster ....

Combining both rosters would still result in a soft team with small forwards, weak defense and suspect goaltending.
A little sad for both fanbases.

Take the Flames roster. Add Eberle, remove Comeau so I don't have to hear about the hate fest for Comeau anymore.
Done.

I'm still not sure that team is a cup contender.
Lots of talent but too small, too soft, and not good enough defensively.
Pretty sad state of affairs in Alberta.

If it's a topic that doesn't generate interest or further thought, so be it.
It's simply a thread aimed at stimulating conversation ....
If it doesn't take, I certainly won't take it personally ...

The current rosters for both clubs make me depressed. Remember the 80s when all teams feared coming to AB to face the Flamers and Oil. Only good part of the trip was the west coast swing to crush the Canucks over a 13 year period.
All-time AB Roster:
Nilsson Gretzky Iggy
Roberts Messier Kurri
Anderson Nieuwendyk Fleury
Tikkanen Gilmour McDonald
MacInnis Coffey
Suter Lowe
Housley Huddy
Fuhr
Kipper

Swap Iggy and Kurri.
Can you imagine a line of Roberts - Messier - Iggy?
That would be intimidating.

Sergei Makarov would fit nicely in there somewhere.

If healthy and you believe that this isn't just a hot run of 20 games for Anderson then yes.
If you take out Spezza and rate Anderson for his career still likely better slightly.

The truly sad part is all of these players have been retired for a long time with the exception of Iggy and Kipper. No one from the past decade at least.

Oiler fans coming out of no where all of a sudden. On par with Canuck fans.
This thread is a thinly veiled attempt to make an Oiler fan feel good about the Oilers sucking.

I'll take Eberle and Hopkins. Maybe Hall.
After that... No
