Great retort when everything else you tried failed.
Still want to push your narrative for Boucher in a time where there were only 120 players in the league
My guy, your argument of "Zibanejad scored more points so he's better" while simultaneously ignoring performance relative to contemporaries, award/all star voting and more is so stubborn, I genuinely can't tell where bias ends and a genuine lack of comprehension begins. Or I suppose you could just be a troll.
Regardless, it is abundantly clear you do not have any intention of having a genuine debate or considering opposing evidence, so have a good night.

It's pretty near impossible to compare players from different eras and then opinions are opinions.....everybody has one.
On Zibanejad he's been great for us until fairly recently. He didn't get the contract he did for nothing. His production numbers and overall play justified giving him that at the time. His game kind of dropped last year though and he and his line got owned by Florida and Barkov's line in last year's playoffs. Whether that's been part of his confidence issues this year I have no idea but his focus has been shit and he's made a lot of soft plays that have come back to hurt us which is why his minus numbers are so horrific. I don't want to kill the guy but hockey like almost anything else is a lot about what have you done lately? That's why all the negativity in his direction.
Career and legacy wise he's a fairly big reach to become an HOF player. If he can get over a 1000 points and win a Cup that would help. I'd think he'd have to do at least both.
