Here is the all time lineup for the Phoenix Coyotes. You don't want to mess with this lineup.

Note:  This is only for the Phoenix Coyotes.  No Winnipeg Jets

 

Tkachuk-Roenick-Gartner

Quite possibly the three best players to ever don the Coyotes' jersey. Not necessarily the best Coyotes, but in terms of ability to play and their careers, these three guys lead the way. An unbelievable line that could rival any line when these guys were in their primes.

 

Drake-Ronning-Doan

These three were/are gritty players with underrated offensive abilities. Cliff Ronning is one of the most underappreciated players in the league. Dallas Drake just finished his career, but he was the definition of a power forward when he was with Phoenix. Shane Doan is still playing and has plenty of time to become a great player.

 

Johnson-Janney-Tocchet

All three of these guys were great checking forwards in their time, and definitely had the skills to be offensive producers in the NHL.

 

Carcillo-Langkow-"WILSON!"

A good banger line at the bottom to round out the forwards. Why Landon Wilson? Let's just say college had something to do with it.

 

Defense

Numminen-Jovanovski

The two big names in Coyotes history. Both of them are good defenseman with offensive skills that could really help any team.

 

Mara-Morris

Both of these guys are very similar players and would have made a great pairing. Both have offense, but are even better on the defensive side of the puck. Paul Mara's shot is one of—if not the—best in Coyotes' history from the blue line.

 

Michalek-Tverdovsky

Two players who made impacts on the team as youngsters round out the defense. Michalek will certainly climb this depth chart as he gets older and more experienced. Tverdovsky was a good young defenseman who really showed promise while in Phoenix, and was one of the best offensive defenseman in the Coyotes' short existence.

 

Goalies

Khabibulin

Bryzgalov

Khabibulin would be the starter for this team, but Bryzgalov has a serious chance of becoming the best goalie in Coyotes history. Look for him to leapfrog the Bulin Wall in the future—but for now, Nikolai is holding down the fort.

 

That is my all-time Coyotes lineup. Any omissions or changes you would make?
