[SillyRabbit]

Gretzky
Lemieux
Orr
Howe

Crosby
Hull
Hasek
McDavid
Beliveau
Bourque

McDavid will move up to #5 by the time he retires.

Brodeur won 300 more games than Hasek… and won the cup 3 times. He won 150 more than Roy, had a better save percentage and was an elite puck handler.

People don’t realize that the neutral zone trap, which dominates the NHL now, was made possible by Brodeur’s puck handling. He changed the game. Never gets the credit he deserves.

Lemaire brought his system with him to the Devils from Montréal where it had been used already during his own playing days. Sure Brodeur and Vanbiesbrouck being good puckhandlers affected how it was popularized by their success in the mid-90s, but you're giving (one of) them far too much credit here.

I wonder if there was a goalie in MTL for Lemaire's entire tenure there. Imagine if that goalie never won another vezina after Lemaire left the organization.

Surely that goalie would also gets his accomplishments discredited like broduer does

Brodeur vezinas without lemaire: 4
Roy vezinas without lemaire: 0

 

[Albatros]

Yah, Lemaire as the... [checks notes] Assistant GM is why Roy won his Vezinas.

1) Gretzky
2) Lemieux
3) Orr
4) Howe
5) Crosby
6) McDavid
7) Beliveau
8) Jagr
9) Hasek
10) Ovechkin

8-12 are kind of interchable for me tbh with guys like Bobby Hull, Richard, Harvey but I like that as my top 10.

McDavid will surpass Crosby. I also think McDavid breaks up the vaunted "big 4" and surpasses Howe too.

 

[Finnen]

By 2030:

1) Gretzky
2) Lemieux
3) Howe
4) Crosby
5) Richard
6) Jagr
7) Messier
8) Hasek
9) Ovechkin
10) P. Forsberg

 

[bobholly39]

Gretzky
Orr
Lemieux
Howe
Crosby
Roy
Beliveau
Jagr
Raymond Bourque

and McDavid. I don't think he's a top 10 player yet, but considering you're asking for "best", he definitely ends up there.

 

[Midnight Judges]

Ovechkin has 3 seasons that are all better than Crosby's best season.

 

[The Gr8 Dane]

McDavid is missing!

1) Gretzky
2) Lemieux
3) Orr
4) Howe
5) Crosby
6) McDavid
7) Beliveau
8) Jagr
9) Hasek
10) Ovechkin

I think he ends up the third best forward to ever play hockey in the eyes of the public

 

[Ben Grimm]

Ovechkin has 3 seasons that are all better than Crosby's best season.

2006-07	19	PIT	NHL	C	79	36	84	120

2007-08	22	WSH	NHL	LW	82	65	47	112

No, he has zero.

 

[Video Nasty]

Ovechkin has 3 seasons that are all better than Crosby's best season.

As does pretty much every player inside the top 10, yet we’re told to just accept that he headlines the batch of players after the Big Four, no questions asked.
