Bless you,you have Ovie first!As you can tell I love The Caps.And you have the "kids",Dats and Zetterberg.The Red Wings are my team too. I also root for the Flames too.Iginla is good.He has the toughness like Ovie.I can't add anyone to your list.Back in the day,Stevie Y and Sakic and,Federov would be on this list.

I call Dats and Zetterberg kids because of Hull. when he was on their line,he called the line two kids and an old goat.the nickname stuck with me.In fact I used to kid if I were to have twin boys one middle name would be Datschuk and the other Zetterberg.

I started watching hockey in 1997. I became a Red Wings fan so I saw Sergei play . he was and still is great.To see Stevie Y, Federov,and my favorite Brendan Shanahan play was great.

Probably right. I think Getzlaf belongs up there. He's won a cup and is getting better each year. To be honest, I'd rather have him on my team over Kovalchuk. Iginla

I meant to delete the part about Iginla. I lost my train of thought and forgot what I wanted to say about him. Anyway, he definitely deserves a top 7 spot in my opinion.

I think Kovalchuk is twice the player on half the team.Ilya is one of the best players in the league.Give him some talent to work with an he'll be a league-leading scorer again.Plus,i think Kovalchuk is the only player who can challenge Ovechkin for Maurice ''Rocket'' Richard trophy next year.

I think it's extremely difficult to limit this to just 7 forwards. You could easily make a case for Getzlaf, Carter, Hossa, Thornton, Nash, and Parise to be considered amongst the elite forwards and you could even make a case for Marian Gaborik. Playing in a defensive system he certainly has the defensive game down and he's clearly one of the most talented offensive players in the game. He just needs to be healthy long enough to put up the 100 plus point seasons and 50 + goal seasons. As much as you'd want to include these guys and others, there's nobody on the list you'd feel totally comfortable removing either. I agree with you in that Ovechkin and Malkin need to be one/two.
