All-Penguins team?

Every team has their all-time best lineup. This batch is often comprised of players throughout a certain decade or in the history of the franchise. Seeing as how the Penguins don't have a game until Friday night against the Stars, now might be a good time to consider and discuss an all-time best roster.

Here are the rules:
Any player who has ever worn a Penguins uniform is eligible.
Wingers are interchangeable.

8 Wingers
4 Centers
8 D-Men
3 Goalies
3 Coaches
2 "Scratches" (Any position)

Perhaps we'll open it to suggestions as well. Allow me to get the obvious out of the way. Unfortunately this won't leave much else open in the center category, but the Pens can't help that now can they?
