#1-Mike Commodore. He can take on anyone and win any fight\n#2-Aaron Ward. He can be very aggressive & make hard hits\n#3-Glen Wesley-Defense. He's been playing for a long time and can be good play-maker, along with Oleg Tverdovsky\n   Rod Brind'Amour-Offence. One of the major forwards. Knows how to get his job done and never quits.

I think the most talented position is wherever the most talented player happens to be standing.\n\nI play.\n\nI've played forward, usually LW most of the four or five years I've been playing, but recently got put back on D because I've been playing with a bunch of very fast, very capable youngsters and it's a struggle (in my dotage) to keep up with them.\n\nI find D to be a lot more of a thinking position than I thought.  I keep a much larger ice-view, and tend to see plays unfold in both directions.  I find I can better anticipate where the puck will be at any given moment, where it's going, and how to be there and do the right thing.\n\nI've actually had more SOG playing D than I have LW in a while.  I'm more aggressive, and a better player there, which is probably why they moved me (and not just the speed issue).\n\nSo... yeah.  I think centering takes huge skill, endurance and talent.  So does goaltending.  But some of the best hockey players ever have been defensemen (Orr leaps immediately to mind).\n\nYour talent's where the heart and skill are, in the end.

When all of the defensemen are healthy, Lindy usually rolls with all three lines, no line being the best. The usual pairings are as follows:\n\nTallinder + Lydman\nNumminen + Kalinin\nSpacek + Campbell

96-97: Rick Tabaracci, Dwayne Roloson, Trevor Kidd\n97-98: Rick Tabaracci, Dwayne Roloson, Tyler Moss\n98-99: Ken Wregget, Fred Brathwaite, Tyler Moss, Jean Sebastien Giguere, Tyrone Garner, Andrei Trefilov\n\nAll goalies played at least one game during the seasons.

Gordie Howe!\nDetroit Red Wings

Probably Jaramir Jagr of the New York Rangers. Most hockey fans talk about Brian McCabe's one timer, but has anyone seen Jagr's one timer? That is one awesome shot.

Forwards - Wayne Gretzky, Mario Lemieux and Gordie Howe\n\nDefensemen - Bobby Orr and Ray Bourque\n\nGoalies - (#1A & 1B) - Dominic Hasek and Ken Dryden\n\nCoach - (old time hockey!) Toe Blake

I think the best goalie in the league is Brodeur.  Hasek did really well when he wasn't injured, but Emery has done well for the Sens since then.  I think the most valuable goaltender in the league is Kiprusoff of the Flames.  I don't think they would have made the playoffs without him.  On the losing side, Fernandez did well without the right defence for the Wild.  Based on you question though, I'd go with Kiprusoff of Calgary.

The leader to date is Daniel Alfredsson with 5. The season record is 13, set by Mario Lemieux in 1988-89. In a career, probably Dave Andreychuk.

all of those answers are good.  i think the top three greatest players of all-time are wayne gretzky, gordie howe and mario lemieux. the greatest player now is a toss-up between alexander ovechkin and sidney crosby. the best defenseman now is a tossup between chris pronger and nick lidstrom.  the best leader now is steve yzerman.  the best goalie now:  martin brodeur.  the best goalie of all time: a tie between patrick roy and terry sawchuck.  the best leaders in history:  mark messier, steve yzerman, and joe sakic to name a few.
