I agree Hall deserves to be there.
Al Hamilton is one of the few retired jerseys hanging from the rafters for the Oilers. He played most of his time for Edmonton in the WHA, thats why most arent familiar with him.
I would have much rather seen them move Draisaitl to the Right side (where he played with Connor) and bump Hemsky. A lot loved Hemsky but I wasnt a big fan. He was hurt more than he was healthy. Taylor Hall deserves to be there just as much, if not more, than Hemsky.

I agree Hall deserves to be there.
I realize Gretzky is clearly the #1C, but I think there's a solid case to add Weight, move him to the foundational guy, and slide Hamilton onto a defense pairing. It's first jersey retired by the Oilers versus greatest Oiler ever.

Is your assertion that Doug Weight is the greatest Oiler ever? Because I don’t really know how to process that.

I liked Doug Weight but the restrictions TSN put on this hurt Weights chances here. The Oilers arguably have some of the greatest centers ever. I do think that Weight is one of the better Oilers of all time, but there were better centers.

Hard to argue with that lineup. Sittler and Ron Ellis not making it were surprises but too many good centers over the years for the Leafs. I was hoping for Mike Palmeteer

"Cleavage is like the sun. You can look, but dont stare.. Unless you're wearing sunglasses."
I'm not really concerned but I'm not sure Dave Keon fits their definition of "checking line center" and how they've used it on ever other team.
Yeah I agree with this. If you ask most Oiler, or hockey fans who the face of the Oilers is they are going to say Wayne Gretzky, not Al Hamilton. The "foundational player" seems to be shifting team by team and basically the writers "loophole" in some cases. That being said I completely get why Hamilton is the foundational player, which leaves 3C spots (after checking C) for Weight to crack the lineup and well, that ain't happening.
Ironically, Al Hamilton does not meet the qualifications for being in the Oilers lineup as he only played 31 NHL games for the Oilers (he played 455 WHA games for the Oilers as well).

Ottawa Senators are the lastest team out there. No surprise that they included some of the old school players. Hard to get excited about this team when Patrick Lalime is considered a last cut.

"Cleavage is like the sun. You can look, but dont stare.. Unless you're wearing sunglasses."
Poor Sens fans. That seems like a pretty abysmal all-time lineup.
Senators have been around about as long as the Capitals and the Scouts/Rockies/Devils when combining the two eras. I suspect they went too light on the older guys, honestly.

Lol... using the original Sens franchise is lame.
Also, the foundational player is lame. Al Hamilton is totally the person I think of when I think the Oilers. Probably looked good on paper.

Winnipeg was out today. That is awful, as they included the players from the original Jets franchise that is now in Arizona. So you get Dale Hawerchuk and Teemu Selanne. Just stupid.
