For me, based on on-ice talent, it's:
1. Nicklas Lidstrom
2. Sergei Fedorov
3. Pavel Datsyuk
4. Henrik Zetterberg
5. Steve Yzerman
6. Johan Franzen
7. Chris Osgood
8. Brendan Shanahan
9. Tomas Holmstrom
10. Nik Kronwall
I just can't take any of the players that dominated pre-late 90's seriously. To me, today's above average players like Tyler Myers, Val Filppula, would absolutely tear apart the 80's NHL. I'd have to give guys like Pavel the edge over Stevie simply because dominating today's league is so much more impressive. I'd give Crosby the edge over Gretzky as well. Don't even get me started on the Gordie Howes and Red Kellys.
