That is all.

I disagree

Depends on how you define "Generational" I suppose

 

[authentic]

What did he do now?

 

[Koivu11]

He’s currently a top 10 player in the league but not generational.

 

[JaegerDice]

I guess it depends on your definition?

He's probably the best second best winger of his generation, so if generational is top three at your position for your generation, then sure.

 

[DougieSmash]

Franchise player but not generational. I'd call generational Crosby, McDavid and Ovie.

Crosby, McDavid, Ovy, Kane...

 

[Hattrick Kane]

He’s currently a top 10 player in the league but not generational.

He’s top 5 but probably not generational. It is what it is.

 

[Dead Ringers]

40 points in his last 18 games is insane.

 

[Mitts]

Everyone's generational these days, congrats on being in the 20 best players to ever play the game in the last ten years.

 

[Big Cactus]

Crosby, McDavid, Ovy, Kane...

One of those things is not like the other.

 

[AvsFan29]

He is number 1 in points since 2010-2011, with 1 more than Crosby (628GP 669PTS)

He's 4th in points since he entered the league in 2007. Behind only Ovechkin, Crosby, and Malkin.

 

[NHL WAR]

Having amazing season. Especially when you consider team support. I have a slightly higher bar for "generational", but he is definitely up there.

 

[Paul4587]

Generational as in he’s the second best RW in the game sure.

 

[Toews2Bickell]

the kid without the cup?

 

[TheGuiminator]

So if Patrik Laine scores 20 goals in the next 8 games that means he’s generational right?

definitely equivalent track record...

 

[Big Cactus]

Yes that’s how you rate individual talent. Kunitz > Kane right?

No, but he might keep his job if he does.

 

[Cotton]

He's generational in the same way that the Blackhawks were a dynasty.

No dice.

 

[Filthy Dangles]

 

[BM14]

He's a generational cab fare pickup.

 

[AvsFan29]

No dice.

I mean Chicago and Pitts are the closest thing to a dynasty as we've seen in the cap era. L.A. is close behind.

We probably have to lower "dynasty" standards considering the cap, and the amount of teams in the league.

I think it completely depends on your definition of "generational". Was St. Louis "generational" to you? If not, then neither is Kane.
