Which Franchise Player Would You Rather Have in Their Prime? (Poll Redo)

[McFlash97]

A defenseman who scores 50, gets a 100 and defends like Ekholm ?

Where do we sign ?

Don't know why people are saying option 2 is Orr level.. im assuming this is in the current scoring environment correct? If so, then 100 points would be good for around 8th in the league if we're going by pace of the top 10 scorers this season, which is were Hughes ranks atm.

Would definitely be the best goalscoring season of all time by a defenseman. But Orr was contending for Art Ross trophies.

I'd say the season is a significantly better goalscoring Potvin. So basically the next best thing after Orr.

Give me that Dman every time

So pretty much Makar with an extra 20 goals/year would just be absurd

The Goalie AINEC

Goaltending is the only position in hockey that can control a game.

A goalie putting .935 sv% assuming he starts 60+ games will be having a bottom tier team as mid 90s team or an elite team as a 130+ pt team

If that play carries on into the playoffs (.930+ sv%) your almost guaranteed a deep run every year or at least most years.

There is no goalie who can put up a .935% SV% irrespective of who the defense is infront of them. There arent goalies who can play 60 games really anymore

This type of player has never existed.

Give me a goalie who can avg 15-20 years of .935 sv%, 60-65 starts per year and carry that 99.5% (.925 sv% minimum in playoffs) into the playoffs and you will have the GOAT of Hockey, someone better than Gretzky

was orr good defensively? think the dman is misleading. Obviously not 50 goals but Karlsson just had 100pt season on a horrible team and im sure he was his usual liability in his own zone. 125+pt selke winner is by its own wording doing everything on the ice. Definitely between forward and goalie.

* didnt see the top 5 defensively from the first post.

Very.
