Interesting discussion given that they spent 7 seasons together, both playing right wing and spending time on the power play and penalty kill.
In fact, at the tail end of the dead puck era in 03-04, Hossa had 36g and 82p in 81g, Alfredsson had 32g and 80p in 77g, and the third top scorer for Ottawa, another right winger who had power play and penalty killing duties - Marty Havlat - had 31g and 68p in 68g. Three 30g, point a game right wingers who played on both side of the puck.
If you asked me then who would have the highest peak of Ottawa’s right wingers, I likely would have answered Havlat, who then came out guns blazing in 05-06 with 9 goals in his first 16 games only to suffer a major injury and miss considerable time while Alfredsson and Hossa chugged along in the post dead puck era scoring boom. That said, he was able to return for the playoffs and register 7g and 13p in 10g before being shipped to Chicago.
As for who did peak the highest, Alfredsson’s 3 year peak saw 112g and 279p, while Hossa’s saw 118g and 274p. Both of those three year peaks were affected by the lockout. Alfredsson’s best playoff performance had him at 14g, 22p in 20g, while Hossa’s saw 12g and 26p in 20g.
It really is too close to call.
