I know but I mentioned Moore and often people use the Hart record to promote 3 guys and then still have Moore in the top 100.
Heck if that's the case they must have Kuch easily ahead of Moore now one would think.
I think Clarke is probably ranked too high already as his prime was really 5 ish years and his playoff and international resume don't really boost him given his ranking.
Frankly there is probably a strong argument to have Forsberg ahead of Clarke. As even with his injuries his prime extends over a larger amount of games and his playoff/international resume is vastly superior.
Why wouldn't Moore be in the Top 100?
He won two scoring titles. The 2nd one he won with 96 points, the record at that time. Only 16 players in the NHL have multiple Art Ross trophies since WWII. He also led the playoffs in scoring twice. Was on 6 Cup winners. And I would have Kucherov ranked ahead of him.
I would agree, there is an argument for Forsberg over Clarke. But Forsberg's fractured career hurts his case. He only played 5 seasons with over 70 games. Clarke has the leadership, defense and toughness to his advantage. He also has a career plus/minus of 507. Only Robinson, Orr, Gretzky and Bourque are ahead of him.
