Very interesting. Comparing Forsberg and Jagr in ppg from 92/93 when Jagr was the same age as Forsberg in 94/95 when he entered the league and until 2006 when Forsberg's career (as we knew it) got finalized cause of injuries, only Jagr and Lemieux were ahead of Forsberg even though a lot of those players in the top played in the much higher scoring years 92-94 which Forsberg didn't and in their prime while Forsberg didnt enter his prime until the DP era in '97. And scoring wise it was much closer between Jagr and Forsberg than people think while Forsberg being the superior 2-way player. Add to this that Forsberg played through a lot of serious injuries during this time which damaged his production a lot at times when he basically wasn't 100% fit. This shows yet again how underrated Forsberg is cause of people not willing to do some research.
(At least 100 games played)
Yes, and no moving the starting point to 94/95 and Forsberg is still at #3 with even bigger margin to the 4th spot. And yep you guessed it, only counting from the 00's Forsberg wins in a landslide against the competition with only Lemieux being ahead in ppg.
And to people who disregard the ppg argument all in all claiming Ovechkin is the better player cause of trophy case and what not: Ovechkin NEVER during a 708 games (Forsbergs number of NHL games) stretch scored close to the same rate as Forsberg even if you choose his very prime years. Finally this argument must put a dagger into the anti Forsberg "arguments".
