Respect to the OP for posting material like this, but this and that Selanne thread are just flat ridiculous. We can't find two players who are a lot closer to each other than this?
And yes, it's Bondra and it can't be close, even at a large distance.
I'm thinking the one-way guy getting fed full time by Adam Oates is the one getting overrated.
Bondra scored 52 goals in 67 games with Michal Pivonka as his center.
What's the most any of Nash's centers scored next to him?
Be careful what you’re saying here![]()
Michal Pivonka was putting up 50 assist seasons before Peter Bondra became his wingman. When did Nash's centers do that? What's the most any of Nash's centers scored next to him?
Fair enough. What's the most any of them were scoring without him? 20 assists in a year? Manny Malhotra is often considered the best center he had!
Neither of them had a center worth writing home about, except for Oates and Fedorov who were way past their primes. Oates was like 38 when he won the assist title next to Bondra.
And those weren't even comparable. Oates put up more assists at age 41 with the Ducks than Fedorov did at age 33/34 with the Ducks the following season. That was after Oates' Caps tenure and before Fedorov's Jackets tenure. One of these guys lost his scoring touch much earlier than the other.
If we're going with who was the better goal scorer, it's literally Bondra. There's not much to debate.
