Here's the thing: You can obviously make an argument for Evgeni Malkin above Peter Forsberg, or Peter Forsberg above Evgeni Malkin, as per your own preferences / biases. Like, if you're into simple trophy-counting and "scored more total career this or that", then Malkin wins. And if you're into the physical dimension and responsible two-way play, higher peak per game stats, then Forsberg wins. Or whatever.
But to argue that either of has utterly surpassed the other, or that one is in a different league to the other, is wrong-headed.
(Needless to say, you also cannot argue that Forsberg was better than Gordie Howe unless you're insane.)
