Is Jagr the greatest European player of all time?

Why you comparing ML, JJ, SC, EM with 4th liners. They are monsters with tremendous hardware. But were feeding each other, so it's not fair.

Sidney Crosby looks like someone who eats off the handle of a spoon.

Prime Jagr was insanely good and his best years were probably during the dead puck era, from 98-99 to 01-02. Three art rosses in a row and the two first were especially dominant, in his own league for the first one and in 00-01 he won it despite playing only 63 games.

If you cherry pick 5 best seasons of a players career, Jagr would rank pretty damn high on that list, both Gretzky and Mario would be on a completely different tier to anyone else, but for no3 I think it would be between McDavid and Jagr, with the edge to McDavid but not as one-sided as you might think at first. I can't think of anyone else who would have a case against those two (from the modern era). At least if looking at reg season only, if you include post season then it might be different but gets too complicated for me.

Of course he is. Don't be silly.
