The problem here is that Jagr, Lidstrom, and Roy basically take a dump on everyone not named McDavid. Feelsbad voting against McDavid but it's team A for me.

McDavid is arguably the best player on ice but I'm voting for Team A because of depth and Roy between the pipes

This wasn't an easy one, teem A got multiple cups in every player Roy, Lidstom, Sacic , ...

teem Bs lack of PO success from "some players" makes me go A., with the winners.

Mcdavid is better than Jagr ever was.

I strongly disagree but it's kinda close anyway Hull didn't peak that much lower than McDavid either and Lidström got a case, goalies are hard to compare vs skaters but Roy is certainly up there aswell. So in short quite a few players in the poll were close to or better than McDavid at their peaks.

Just to be clear I am not going to argue if you belive McDavid is the best of the bunch it'a position that is ok to take but it's absolutely close.

Still see why one go with McDavid after the last playoff, but peak Jagr was winning the Art Ross playing just 63 games and dominating specials players playing together like this:

1.Jaromír Jágr • PIT127
2.Teemu Selänne* • MDA107
3.Paul Kariya* • MDA101
4.Peter Forsberg* • COL97
5.Joe Sakic* • COL96

Team A. I think once prime Jagr got the puck it would be nearly impossible for Team B to get it back.
