Forwards (25 Total) 1-Mario Lemieux-Don't feel like explaining this decision, but if you want to compare gretzky and lemieux, look from 88-94 when Gretzky left edmonton, but was still in his prime, and Lemieux was in his prime as well. Lemieux was injured most of the time, but he was better than Gretzky. I don't like to compare them while Gretzky was on Edmonton because Edmonton was so stacked offensively. Look at their stats from 88-94: Lemieux-307 Games Played, 279 Goals (0.9088 Goals per game), 695 Points (2.2638 Points per game) Gretzky-429 Games Played, 220 Goals (0.5128 Goals per game), 789 Points (1.8391 Points per game) And remember, from his first retirement Lemieux had a higher Points per Game than Gretzky did. Even though his best season (60 games, 160 points) was cut short by cancer. 2-Wayne Gretzky 3-Sergei Federov 4-Mark Messier 5-Marcel Dionne 6-Steve Yzerman 7-Joe Sakic 8-Mike Bossy 9-Jaromir Jagr 10-Peter Forsberg 11-Brett Hull 12-Mark Recchi 13-Ron Francis 14-Brendan Shannahan 15-Alex Ovechkin 16-Mats Sundin 17-Peter Statsny 18-Sidney Crosby 19-Luc Robitaille 20-Teemu Selanne 21-Bryan Trottier 22-Cam Neely 23-Pavel Bure 24-Eric Lindros 25-Mike Modano Defensemen (20 Total) 1-Dennis Potvin 2-Al Macinnis 3-Ray Bourque 4-Scott Stevens 5-Brian Leetch 6-Chris Chelios 7-Nick Lidstrom 8-Paul Coffey 9-Larry Robinson 10-Kevin Lowe 11-Borje Salming 12-Scott Niedermeyer 13-Viacheslav Fetisov 14-Larry Murphy 15-Rob Blake 16-Vladimir Konstantinov 17-Rod Langway 18-Zdeno Chara 19-Chris Pronger 20-Sergei Gonchar Goalies (5 Total) 1-Martin Brodeur 2-Patrick Roy 3-Dominik Hasek 4-Ed Belfour 5-Henrik Lundqvist What do you think? What is your top 50? T Bag-Not right now. It only took about 15 minutes to type anyway Matt N-Federov and Yzerman are close. I put Federov before Yzerman because Federov had a hart and yzerman didn't. Either way, both were selke winners. But as far a Lidstrom, he was great. Calling him number two though is taking it far. Potvin was better, Borque was better, Leetch was better, and I wanted to include a few defensive defensemen up there two. The problem I have with Lidstrom was that he isn't that physical, but he's good. ENick-You're right, Gretzky wasn't drafted. Whatever. And Lemieux's highest point scoring season was 199 points. But he had a higher point per game average in his 160 point season, or at least really close (I don't feel like checking.) Anyway, he did get cancer that season and he would've broken 215 points if he didn't get cancer. Lundqvist probably isn't number five, but I don't really follow goalies, and he does have a really high career save percentage even though he played with the rangers his entire career. Pavel Bure wasn't as much of a defensive player as federov. Ovechkin is up there (15 I think) and I was thinking of putting up Datsyuk but I put Lindros instead. I personally think Dionne was better than Francis. I kind of forgot Mark Messier...... Read More »
