Exam season is over for me so I can sink my teeth into this round a little more.
- Had Brodeur as #1 last round, this round he might be the easiest #1 since Gretzky for me.
- Cook has a great chance to make it. Remained a strong contributor until he was 40 during a time when players generally declined at a younger age... I wonder if part of that longevity can be attributed to getting a late start to professional hockey? Maybe less wear and tear on the body?
- Had Lindsay as one of the highest ranked among these players on my initial list but I've reconsidered that one a bit based off of discussions on Howe/Kelly. He's probably the one I'm most interested in reading about... his VsX looks incredible for a player at this stage of the project, but so did Phil Esposito, and he got knocked down because of the Orr factor. How great is the Howe and Kelly factor for Ted Lindsay?
