Here's one I would have appreciated to see participate in round 2. The list is not perfect (none will be), but its certainly sound enough.

Great list. I would put Fedorov bit higher, but I like the fact that Malkin edges Thornton. Also, seems like you guys are careful with Canadians.

I think Thornton deserves to edge Malkin. He has everything (including an 1184-626 edge in points), but playoff success. Excluding defensive specialists, show me a center in the post O6 era with 626 points who's in the HHoF. Thornton will be. Is winning 1 Cup with superior talent the only thing that matters?

When we didn't have enough lists to start the project, vecens24 is one of the ones I PMed, telling him he could submit a list, and don't worry about voting in Round 2 if he didn't have time.

Seems he took me up on it. A shame he didn't have time to be more involved.

Nah, but I have yet to see a player with 3 1st AS, 1 Hart and 2 second places for Hart, 1 Connie Smythe and 2 Art Ross not make it either.

(Not taking position on the Malkin/Thornton debate)
