Probably Sid but I went with Lidstrom bc I’m feeling nostalgic and the 2015 cutoff takes away more of Sid’s best years than Lidstrom’s

 

[Albatros]

Koltsov.

 

[Nathaniel Skywalker]

Crosby

Joe Thornton led the NHL by 121 pts from 2000-01 to 2014-15 and he is not an option...

 

[Hockey Outsider]

Crosby, Forsberg, Jagr, Ovechkin, Pronger and Sakic are all good choices, but this time period lines up nicely with Lidstrom's prime.

A few of those players were probably better than Lidstrom on a per-game basis, but this timeframe captures all seven of his Norris trophies, his Conn Smythe, and 950+ games as a top two-way player.

Voted Niedermayer but Crosby is right there as well.

Niedermayer was the best pure skater in the game for a decent length of time.

Although he wouldn’t win. Jay Bouwmeester Was a flawless skater

Are you asking who was the best at skating, or are you asking which non-goalie was the best player?

 

[Video Nasty]

Crosby.

 

[WarriorOfGandhi]

Are you asking who was the best at skating, or are you asking which non-goalie was the best player?

either way, the answer is David Koci

 

[Toby91ca]

What is the actual question here? I thought it was about the best skater, but based on the comments.....we looking for best player?

 

[Mr Kot]

Would have picked Crosby, but I misread and thought this was skating ability only. Selanne was my pick with that in mind, such a smooth skater who deserved the nickname Finnish Flash.

Insane not to have Joe Thornton as an option.
