Prime lindros was a choker. For flyers in 97 and for canada i 98Prime Lindros was heads and tails above Malkin. Not even close
Malkin peak (11/12): 133 adjusted points/82
Lindros peak (95/96): 124 adjusted points/82
But are those points worth the superior defense, physicality etc of Lindros?

also consider who malkin had on his pp vs what lindros had on his.
you can say he was a choker that is fair. I mean the DRW had 7 hall of famers in their prime. The flyers had prime lindros and old paul coffey and old dale hawerchuk.
That DRW team of that era was unbelievably good.
I always find it funny when people mention the 97 final.
Lindros had dominated the play-offs until then... and Detroit literally just matched vs him and no-one else... yet the Flyers did not score a SINGLE goal that series without Lindros on the ice, even though other lines were getting "easier" matchups than usual due to how Detroit were just "cheating" on Lindros. Him and Brind'Amour were pretty much the only guys on the team who showed up for that game.
If you think he was overrated, then I think you didn't watch him.I think Lindros is stupidly overrated.
So my vote for Malkin probably shouldn't count for much.

I would also guarantee that Lindros was a better 5v5 player... I would love to have seen his CF% and ExGF at his peak. His EV scoring was a very high % of his scoring for a star player.
Lindros was a unique player. Not just about points. The guy intimidated other players.
I’d go peak Lindros.
I'd put him ahead of Crosby.
