Playmaking Wingers

[JFedol]

One player I've never heard about playing C is Gordie Howe. Which is a little strange when you think about him being such a complete player. I guess you don't fix what isn't broken. He was a rare forward who could fill in for a shift on defence when needed.

Wasn't it mentioned in his biography that he played every position at some point? I vividly remember reading a comment posted by a user on a previous thread on "Why Howe was a Winger?"

Last comment, but It won't really dawn on a lot of people's minds the particular level of skillset needed to be THAT productive as a playmaker especially from the wing LOL. What the greatest wingers in this league throughout history have accomplished production wise while there backs are against the wall 99% of the time is insane. I'm not even joking when I say that the 100 assist season by Kucherov could possibly be never be eclipsed again by any other winger

I think it's underrated to be an elite playmaking winger and I'll always cherish those players who are just as dominant if not more than elite centres.
