Some names maybe not mentioned yet: Perreault, Coffey, Denis Savard, Mogilny.
All of them were just lovely to watch. Mogilny I would say is the only one that did it when he felt like it, but when he did he had all of the tools right there. Perreault is like someone such as Gale Sayers in the NFL. Just stops you in your tracks to watch them. Elegant, graceful and almost as if they are just playing in their own backyard. Sayers reminds me of someone when you watch his highlights that it looks like the whistle was blown and everyone else stops what they are doing except for him. Except the whistle didn't blow. Perreault reminds me a lot like that,
Coffey just because no one skated faster with less effort than him. McDavid is beautiful to watch in full flight, as was Bure, but you watch them and they are clearly skating hard and digging in. MacKinnon too is lovely to watch but he almost looks like he is running on the ice. Coffey would glide on the ice and had the hockey sense to go with it too.
Savard just because no one perfected the spinorama in full flight while on a rush like he did. Before that the spinorama was what Serge Savard or Doug Harvey did to avoid someone, but they did it while at a stand still. Denis did it as he was skating forwards.
