I have Iginla, Keith, Thornton, Draisaitl, Doughty, and Hedman all fairly closed bunched together all time.

Could do any of them here.

Jagr is hard to place with missing half his career and 80% of his prime.

It's still Luongo.

2nd in GP and 3rd in sv% among goalies with more than 100 games in the 2000s.

Then in the 2010s as a 31-39 year old, he was still 7th in sv% and 17th in GP.

Basically an undisputed top 3 goalie of the 2000s with an argument for 1st place, and still a top 10-20 goalie in the 2010s.

He had a 19 year career (longer than everyone except Lidstrom, Brodeur, Ovechkin and Crosby) and was elite for most of it. Should have already been on the list.

yeah I agree, this is very close here. I like the top 9 a lot, but after that I feel as though it can go in many different directions.

I had voted EK a few times and he finally went in, so I think i'll vote Thornton now. Overall great longevity and peak.

I think in addition to the players you named, you can add any of Price, Lundqvist or Luongo soon too.

I voted Luongo, but considered Doughty.
