4. messier
5. crosby?

 

[TheGoldenBoy]

1. Gretzky
2. Lemieux
3. Orr
4. Howe
5. Crosby

Was always hard to argue against the top 4, but now I'd say it's getting hard to argue against this top 5

 

[dr robbie]

Not yet. Probably gets into the top 10.

 

[Bouboumaster]

My number five player in history got 10 Stanley Cup, so, no.

Wtf messier?

 

[T REX]

Hell no

 

[The Grim Reaper]

He just passed Messier, so:

1. Gretzky
2. Lemieux
3. Orr
4. Howe
5. Crosby

So, yes.

 

[1967th Heaven]

He is 5th, people love to freak out and say "no no no he can't be top 5!" But fail to actually argue the point. Who can you argue over Crosby at #5?

 

[oilersfan87]

Crosby is definitely going to go down as a top 5 player of all time. Too many people are stuck in the past so they have a hard time accepting that a current player is good enough to be better than many of the greats of the past.

 

[Neil Hamburger]

Gretzky
Orr
Howe
Lemieux

are all still solidly above him.

He might slide into that 5 slot, but it's not clear cut. He's competing with guys like Hull, Beliveau, Richard, Harvey, Shore, etc.

 

[Admiral Awesome]

Not top 5 yet

 

[Dakine879]

Wtf messier?

Wiki:

Messier is considered one of the greatest NHL players of all time.[2] He is second on the all-time career lists for playoff points (295) and regular season games played (1756), and is third for regular season points (1887). He is a six-time Stanley Cup champion—five with the Oilers and one with the Rangers—and is the only player to captain two different professional teams to championships.

 

[T REX]

People are losing their minds right now.

 

[Treb]

Somewhere between 6 and 20.

 

[Killer Orcas]

Seriously you guys heard of Sakic, Yzerman, Rocket Richard, Esposito the list is long Crosby is not even in top ten not even close. Crosby wins sure but he does not dominate like others have before and won also. Just because he's one of the best now doesn't make him an all time great.

Messier>Crosby

Number 3 easy

Crosby is better than all of those guys for sure, AINEC

He passed those guys. This is a 31 team league now. His entire body of work is far more impressive.

Um no he's not AINEC.

I'd be curious as to what you think Sakic and Yzerman did to earn a spot above Crosby on the all-time list.
