Yeah so Ive been trying to categorize the type of offensive players that we have in the league atm and I realized that we have no Lemieuxs or Gretzkys.
They have often been labeled as the generational type so where do players like Ovechkin and Crosby or Kane, Taveres and Toews fall in?
So lets categorize generational players in type 1 through 3 to help us differentiate.
Type 1: Players who from the get go have obliterated every offensive record from peewee to the NHL or have been close to this. These players are often regarded as phenomenons, players of exceptional talent, over and beyond everyone else. Lemieux and Gretzky come to mind.
Type 2: Players who fall a few notches under type 1 who dont dominate but are regarded as Elite players +. Ovechkin and Crosby fall into this category I think....
Type 3: Players that generally fall below type 2 and are regarded as elite players like Toews, Stamkos, Kain and Tavares.
This is just some ramblings of my own that Ive done so you all are welcome to improve on it.
As for the post title...is there any upcoming talent that you have seen that you feel might come close to greats like Lemieux or Gretzky ?
