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.

Some of them are extremely underrated. Arguably the greatest highest IQ moments, with thee greatest board play and God tier Passing only with a feet of space.

Marchands game today was NUTS
