Hm, the last number of years has been getting hammered to numb the pain of watching the Wings and waking up in the fetal position. Not sure I remember how to watch them any other way anymore.

The assistant captains fluidity (?) seems odd but the team has bigger problems.

Lalonde was quite clear about his reasons for the "A"s. He felt that the new FA's that were brought in, were as much for their leadership as their ability to give the team greater depth and defensive/scoring potential. Also, the younger players who "could" have gotten an "A", he felt that with all the new faces and the new coaches, plus with them still being young in the league, that they had lots of time to deal with the leadership aspects of the NHL. But he also said that having Larkin as a "true" captain, allows him to handle the "A"s a bit differently than some other teams might have.

I would contend that the team doesn't have as many "big" problems as you might suspect. That having actual structure and a more consistent and accountable message will go a lot further toward solving a lot of our past woes. The rest of the personnel issues will sort themselves out over the next 2-3 years, as we get closer to being a regular playoff/Cup contender.

John LeClair 6'3 - Eric Lindros 6'4 - Mikael Renberg 6'2

Red Wings 3rd line at 2022:
Elmer Söderblom 6'8 - Michael Rasmussen 6'6 - Oskar Sundqvist 6'3

There is just a little difference in quality of player there. Just a tiny tiny bit.

Anyone have a good way to check or any good guesses if this is the combined tallest line ever iced in the NHL?

It would almost have to be. Very few forwards have been taller than 6'5" and the average of this line is 6'5" and change.
