Yzerman or Bure

 

[Tage2Tuch]

Mark Messier.

Lafleur, Bossy, Hull, Richard all have a case.

 

[snipes]

The only 4 time Hart Trophy winner remaining.

Eddie Shore

Crosby at 6 really jeesh I'm sorry he's not even the best player on his team every year for last few. I'm sorry great player but way over rated. I personally don't think Crosby is any better then Sakic, Yzerman, Messier and a lot more players. Doug Harvey if I have to pick a name left but really how do you compare different era's so many good players on that list.

 

[Sidney the Kidney]

Went with Richard, but there were about 4 or 5 names who you could easily convince me should have been ahead of him (Hull, Mikita, Beliveau, Shore).

"We want the Rocket!"

Whether or not you have him in the top 5-6 is purely subjective but it's an insult to Crosby to claim that he was no better than Sakic or Yzerman. He's top 10, without a doubt.

I will take the greatest goal scorer of all time over any other goal scorer.

Only two questions remain for him:

How many Rockets can he still win?

Can he pass Gretzky's goal total?

His best season isn't better than either of theirs, but he has more very high-end seasons than both.

 

[Benn14]

Lol

Sorry I'm not 80 years old thanks for your input tho

 

[Benn14]

Thread sucks anyways how are you supposed to compare eras

 

[oXo Cube]

Poll 7 must have been broken Hasek never played for the Penguins.

Richard again.

Sorry but he's way over rated to me. He might be one of best today but all time sorry not close for me. Messier, Sakic and Yzerman I saw and they to me were actually better. This is my opinion. Your entitled to yours.

Messier Bourque Lidstrom Roy Sakic Ovechkin all better options in your age group....

 

[The Macho King]

The only 4 time Hart Trophy winner remaining.

Eddie Shore

Ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhh- true *but* Hart voting patterns were very different before the Norris was introduced. Dmen did much better in voting than they did afterward. I wouldn't put Shore ahead of guys like Harvey, Bourque, or personally even Potvin or Lidstrom.

I *don't* think he's top 10.

I *do* think he has separated himself from Sakic and Yzerman, though.

 

[Mike Hasselhoffman]

So many players could have a case going forwards.

Voted Messier here.

 

[WingsMJN2965]

Crosby at #6.

 

[Gains]

Between Richard and Beliveau. I picked the rocket.

 

[82Ninety42011]

Bure is not anywhere close to top 20 and im a die hard Canucks fan. He was a very exciting player for sure but he's way down the list.

 

[StoneHands]

Yzerman or Bure

Did you just suggest that a guy that was eligible for the HoF in 2006 but didn't get in until 2012 is the 8th best player in NHL history?

 

[jetsforever]

I feel like Brett Hull should at least be on the list - 4th all-time in goals, 23rd in points, and had an 86-goal season (only Gretzky had more in a season).

Malkin has been better than Crosby in 3 seasons of their careers

He really shouldn't.

 

[jetsforever]

He really shouldn't.

I'm not saying he should be voted in now, but considering the point of hockey is to score goals, one of the best goalscorers ever should be up on the all-time list
