Who the f*** is Trevor Moore?
Is the time of around 1993 the most elite talent in a single NHL roster in the history of the NHL?
1) Wayne Gretzky and Mario Lemieux playing and still highly effective
Gretzky with his Conn Smythe worthy 1993 playoffs and Lemieux with a ridiculous GP 60, G 69, A 91, P 160, +/- +55
1a) So many teams with two #1 caliber centers on the same team...Lemieux/Francis, Yzerman/Federov, Sakic/Forsberg, Modano/Nieuwendyk, etc.
2) Goaltenders, all three GOATs in or heading into their primes: Patrick Roy, Martin Brodeur, Dominik Hasek
2a) Many other memorable goalies like Ed Belfour, Nikolai Khabibulin, Olaf Kolzig, Curtis Joseph, Mike Richter, Felix Potvin plus 80s holdovers
3) So much young, elite offensive talent coming into the league such as Eric Lindros, Jaromir Jagr, Pavel Bure, Teemu Selanne, Peter Forsberg, Sergei Federov, Brett Hull, Mats Sundin, Jeremy Roenick, Keith Tkachuk, etc.
4) Defensemen, oh boy, the insane amount of HOF and franchise defensemen in the NHL, especially the Americans (Leetch, Chelios, Hatcher bros, Gary Suter), Canadians (Scott Stevens, Scott Niedermayer, Al MacInnis, Gary Roberts, Chris Pronger, Ray Bourque, Paul Coffey, Rob Blake, etc.) and Vladimir Kostantinov, Sergei Zubov and some nobody named Nicklas Lidstrom
And I'm just going to mention the 5 Central Red Army elite veterans...Igor Larionov, Sergei Makarov, Vladisav Fetisov, Alexei Kasatonov, and Vladimir Krutov although he was on his last legs
I'm sure I've left out several HOFer players...
Maybe the one player who wasn't in the NHL yet but would be there soon was Paul Kariya...
