This is utter BS.

One can argue that the Winnipeg Jets in their prime had far better lines than this one. Visser - Evans - Volkova is far better and could beat this line to a pulp (not to mention Lombardi couldn’t do SHIT with Minnesota)

BS! On a technicality.

Evans-Visser-Volkova was never a line.  Before Volks signed in Winnipeg, I was firmly entrenched as 2C after moving from wing to center.

With that said, this question is pretty subjective and Blues makes a good point in that regard.  While the numbers put together by this Minnesota line *this season* are probably unmatched, in terms of talent I would have taken Visser-Bearss-Volkova out of my Winnipeg years.  Hell, even I was once on a line with three league MVPs alongside Kane and Luke Fleming, and that wasn't even the top line in Winnipeg at the time because of Visser-Bearss-Volks.

You also have to consider lines like Edmonton's Theo Kane-Pedro Sarantez-Ivan Koroviev in S33, IMO, and I'm sure I'm missing some others.  

Agreed.
I thought I missed out a line like Kane, Sarantez, and Koroviev, and I’d argue that that Visser-Bears (who I drew with in my only SHL fight)-Volkova is a top-3 of all time line as well. Also, thanks for pointing out that that line, in fact, did not exist. Those Winnipeg teams were so talented that I forgot who played on what line.
