His dominance is established, now people will take pleasure in asterisking him because he doesn't have a cup at 27 when Sid had one at 21 or whatever it was.

Hopefully he gets one, skill-wise he's on track to be a Top 5 Player all time and a cup clinches it assuming he plays out a normal career from this point (at least 10 more years.)

Most skilled player ever IMO. No offense to the 80s guys, but it's much harder to score against today's D and goaltending.

A little more activity in the other thread, but yeah, being one of the five greatest players ever is nothing compared to another tantalizing what if fantasy.

Why? What are we supposed to say? Do you want 50 posts saying “Cool, Wow, One of the greats,” like as if even one person saying that isn’t stating the obvious?
