As a 9 year old kid in 1985 watching Gretzky and all those other exciting Oilers, I happened to choose Glenn Anderson as my favourite. He in fact was the most exciting. The speed, the kamikaze style, the big goals, that huge grin, and that nasty stick in your face if you tried to bully him LOL
There was a side of Anderson that people tend to forget. In the summer of 1988 his best friend passed away and he suddenly stopped talking to the media for an entire year. He wasn't happy with the media revealing information about his private life, and the passing of his friend affected him deeply. He was almost disinterested the entire season - an uncharacteristic 16 goals. He rebounded the following year with his typical free-spirited play and helped the Oilers to their final Cup in a big way.
Anyways, to answer your question - He would do amazing in today's NHL which relies on speed.
To this day my mom still mocks an uncle of mine by calling him Glenn Anderson because of his resemblance... He has no clue who he is. (We're south asian, LOL).
