I will take Jeremy Roenick, C
There are still a lot of super talented centers left on the board, but for a third line, I want JR Superstar, who on top of his immense finesse ability, hit like a mofo and hit a lot, despite his slight frame.
Also a guy with insane star power in the early nineties which seems to have faded as the inevitable injuries arose given his style of play and the era, along with being overshadowed by his media stuff.
At his zenith though, despite having his numbers suppressed a bit being on Chicago at the time with their style, I think he was better than most of those who had better numbers than him, and this was certainly the regard he was held in widely.
plus he gets to play with his linemate from his best years Larmer on Seattle
Hockey Digest had player rankings the few years before The Hockey News started theirs in 1993-1994. Roenick does real good for a bit
