We certainly sold high on Iginla. Not a fan of that at all, but I'm also not the consensus.

I'm fine with the rest of the picks, though. Really came around on Ullman the more he was discussed.

 

[quoipourquoi]

Can I selfishly ask that you all stop voting for players in red and white jerseys? You’re making the collage boring. Give me a Whaler or a Rockie.

 

[Dennis Bonvie]

I'll try my best.

But I don't seem to carry much weight here.

I'll certainly support Mike Liut when he comes around.
(Which is probably unlikely).

Sure - but as the admin, you gotta work with me. Make Ron Francis available next round and I promise to vote him in.

Found a picture you can use!!

And I’ll help you with a few upcoming players as well:

Peter Stastny

Mats Sundin

Patrice Bergeron

Anze Kopitar

Mike Modano

Hey, this one's no good. I can see green.

Terribly sorry:

With the season Patrick Kane is having, and nothing particular seems to be slowing him down at the moment, I'm inclined to believe he would be ahead of Thornton and Fedorov the next time we do this list. He's having a very remarkable career at this point. Maybe Selanne would have to be pushed back as well?

Kane is already inside the top 100:

There's a halfway decent chance he would have finished ahead of Selanne had this list been completed even a few months later.

Yes, I know, maybe I wasn't clear enough. I meant he would make a jump on the top 100-list.

 

[quoipourquoi]

Not to spoil the reveal of the aggregate list, but Kane moved up to #82 on this project’s aggregate from his spot at #93 on the previous list.

Selanne finished higher (#66) than he did in the previous project (#69) despite the three people who rated him highest in the previous project not participating in this one.

If you want, I can give you the full aggregate list for the top-100 players when we’re halfway through the current project.

 

[Say Hey Kid]

Thank you for all the previous projects.

 

[Say Hey Kid]

It will be interesting to see if any of these guys are Top 200 worthy: Brendan Shanahan, Sergei Zubov, Daniel Alfredsson, Nathan MacKinnon.

 

[Dennis Bonvie]

My original list had two of those players in the top 200 and the other two in the top 220.

 

[Pominville Knows]

How about putting a * or something beside the names of still active players?
It might be obvious to some in a year's time or two, but maybe not to everyone watching the list at that time.

 

[Say Hey Kid]

Pls delete

 

[Johnny Engine]

As players retire over the years, the asterisks* will become inaccurate.

No, the asterisks wouldn't become innaccurate, because they'd be used to denote "active at the time this list was made (in 2021)". There's no way to make a top-200 list that doesn't become outdated in some way, and I regard providing context on how some of the information therein has become outdated is unamiguously positive.

I like this idea.

Any objections by those who were voters if I edit the existing lists accordingly?

He's having a very remarkable career at this point. Maybe Selanne would have to be pushed back as well?

there’s no doubt in my mind he’s been ahead of thornton for at least a couple years now
