Look at Bure and Linden. Who would you build your team around? Not taking anything away from Bure - I'm a huge Bure fan - or Ovie for that matter, just saying, its character people who are true leaders in the game.

Would soo take Bure over Linden any day (if he had the same longevity as Linden). You can get character guys with dwindling hockey skills like Linden, but to find pure offensive talent is difficult.
Ovechkin needs a good coach, BB sucks and is most likely on his last year.
