I feel like Coffey's time in Detroit & Philly was a bit underwhelming (32-36 for a defenceman isn't that old at all).
Bourque was a force every year he was in the league. Great offensively obviously. Very darn good defensively too.
To me Potvin wins this poll. He was the leader on those Isles teams. He excelled at everything he did. He was also physical and nasty when he had to be.
So in summary:
1. Potvin
2. Bourque
3. Coffey
Paul Coffey won a Norris in his 33 year old season and was 5th the year after. Potvin didn’t even play past 34.
Not that any of what you said has to do with peak.
