Generational, to me, are players who have both dominated the game and significantly changed/grown the game.

McDavid, Crosby/Ovi, Roy, Hasek, Gretzky, Lemieux, Orr, Howe, Richard - hard to go back further, but probably Vezina gets on the list.

Lindros dominated and changed the game, but maybe not for long enough.

Lindros played at a 100pt+ pace during the dead puck era. I guess the only reason we don’t talk about him as much is because he never played a full season and his career was cut short at his peak by a Steven’s elbow to the head.
