What's even the thing that is supposed to separate Ovechkin and Hull by any significant margin? I get that Hull has a few more AS1 or AS2 placements but besides that...Hull probably slightly better in playoffs, but not a huge difference. Their overall play, I've never heard Hull was a two-way player of any particular significance. Three Art Ross (one shared) for Hull, but Ovechkin has three Hart's and two 2nd placements, Hull's got two of those and two 2nd placements, both 7 (retro in Hull's case) Richards...They just seem very similar in a lot of ways.
Another thing: Orr just winning one Lindsay/Pearson was surprising to me, I know it only existed for a few years during his careeer but. He's always been described as so impressive and over-powering. Yet Ratelle wins one in Orr's prime.
