I also think the 1972 Summit Series is not as close.

I would argue that in summer 1972 the three best Canadian hockey players were Orr, Esposito, and Hull. Gaining a fast big shot like Hull would do wonders to boost Canadian offense. He played very well against the Soviets two years later on a much weaker roster.

Don't forget that the best Soviet player in 1972 was Firsov...
