Fuck Buffalo has a good young Dman in their stable who'd be good in stinky whale coloured gear.
Rasmus Roustilainen

Good luck prying him out of their hands...watching him against the lames right now and the kid will be a gem. I guess he's probably not a big secret but man is he what the Canucks need.

Fucking Jagr, holy shit. Should be 3rd in goals and points all time by the end of the season despite two years of lockouts and like three seasons in the KHL. Played in a low-scoring era. Have to anoint the guy top-5 all time.

Rummy's all Euro NHL team (no red army players):

Forwards:

Jagr, Ovechkin, Fedorov, Bure, Forsberg, Selanne (considered Almo)

Defense:

Lidstrom

Goal:

Hasek

Who else gets in guys?

I would put Sundin in before Fedorov, as he had remarkable longevity.

Funny that 10 years ago Selanne looked so toast, and now he's the second-highest scoring Euro of all time.

Yeah I think Sundin was pretty overrated. Soft as fuck for a player that huge. Fedorov was a two-way beast and one of the very best of his era IMO.

Chara for sure, Kurri overrated, Salming too gay (see Per), Ovechkin in there already at #2.
