When his career finishes, where does Evgeni Malkin rank all time for you?

[JackSlater]

Top 40, could see him being on the very low end of top 30. Top three player of his generation, health issues or not.

 

[TheGoldenJet]

It's not my fault the main board doesn't know anything about pre 1970s hockey.

There it is.

 

[jigglysquishy]

There it is.

Why ask the question "all time" and then disregard half of "all time"?

 

[SensFan4lyfe]

I have him 25-30 in there

 

[Cape]

Top 30.

I'm not sure how you're supposed to compare full-time professional athletes to guys who had day jobs.

 

[Ratelleitlikeitis]

I have him ranked around the median amongst the HoH posters.

It's not my fault the main board doesn't know anything about pre 1970s hockey.

Edit: I just double checked. HoH had him at 19. That's where I have him excluding McDavid.

I have him at 11th amongst post expansion centres (considering Esposito post and Mikita pre).

Just curious as to where you have Jean Ratelle and Patrice Bergeron ranked?

I'm also very curious on seeing the actual lists from people who have him in the top 30 and lower than top 60.

 

[FrankSidebottom]

Around 35 seems correct. But there is a big chance he’ll drop lower as people start looking only at numbers and forgetting how dominant he was.

 

[kp61c]

top 30 for sure. amazing player.

 

[jetsforever]

31-40, higher if not for injuries

 

[LightningStorm]

For centers, I have him in the 11-15 range.

 

[KevinRedkey]

101st

 

[SensFan4lyfe]

He's probably a top 3 Center for his generation

Really the only player better than him in his early years was Crosby

Won two art Ross's good in the play offs

Probably the best 2nd line Center ever

I'd rank him #10 for all time Centers

Is this you saying there are only 3 or 4 generations of hockey total?

OF his generation

 

[jigglysquishy]

OF his generation

Top 3 of his generation, but 10th all time implies there's only 3 or 4 generations ever for hockey

 

[Mrfenn92]

He’s a friggin stud and should be remembered as such. A generational player who got overshadowed at times.

if you fail to understand i mean top 3 center of his generation thats your issue

 

[jigglysquishy]

Top 3 of his generation
10th all time

10/3 = 3.33

It implies 3 or 4 generations of hockey if he is 10th all time, but 3rd of his generation.

Malkin can be 3rd and 10th, ahead of others ranked 1st and 2nd in other generations.
You could be 1st of a generation and still be ranked 15th all time for example.
