If only highest scoring Slovenian had the same juice as soon-to-be highest scoring American...

Tie vote get those votes in new poll later today and really how is Price tied with Hedman and Doughty behind as well?

Norris finishes: 1,3,3,3,3,4,6
Conn Smythe, 2 Cups

How is Kopitar ahead of MSL?

Hedman, probably has the best resume

Norris finishes: 1,3,3,3,3,4,6
Conn Smythe, 2 Cups

MSL 1 cup, 2 scoring titles he's being painfully over looked

 

[Albatros]

Saint-Louis aged like fine wine, but not all of his career was equally spectacular. Not even when we leave out the 90s bit.

yeah probably shouldve been ahead of Kopitar and maybe even Stamkos

All-Star teams:

MSL:1,2,2,2
Kopitar: none
Stamkos: 2,2

were Kopitar or Stamkos any more impressive?

Ask all GM's. In a redraft- who do you draft first
Not only does Price get picked above those 2, he gets bumped at least 5 spots on this list, and probably more.

not a chance hes ahead of Lundqvist

Price's career is more comparable to Rinne's

Kopitar is arguably the greatest LA King of all time, while Stamkos achieved more with the same team.

Pretty sure Gretzky and Dionne hold those distinctions.

what did Stamkos achieve with TB that MSL didnt? Each have a Cup (Stamkos wasnt on the 2020 bubble team). And even then, Cups are won by teams not individual players. Were not putting Brent Seabrook ahead of Hedman are we?

TB teams were quite different teams in their respective primes

MSL had Lecavalier, Richards, Dan Boyle, Khabibulin
Stamkos had Kucherov, Point, Hedman, Vasi

MSL has 2 Art Rosses
Stamkos none

AS teams:
MSL 1,2,2,2
Stamkos 2,2

Stamkos has the better PPG, but played in higher scoring

Im not saying its not close, but MSL has proven more at this moment given the above. If Stammer continues to produce well over the next 3-4 years then sure. Like THornton, his longevity would hold more value.

Lol

I don't think any gm would draft 2 Rinnes over 1 Price.

But that was funny
