Love is a duel
In case anyone was wondering, here is a scoring breakdown of Paul Coffey vs Red Kelly. I break it off at the top seven seasons because Kelly only had seven significant offensive seasons as a defenseman.
Paul Coffey: 100 [-63] - 87
Paul Coffey: 98 [-56] - 87
Paul Coffey: 83 [16] - 85
Paul Coffey: 90 [-72] - 76
Paul Coffey: 80 [-19] - 76
Red Kelly: 82 [-59] - 70
Paul Coffey: 71 [-22] - 67
Red Kelly: 73 [-65] - 60
Paul Coffey: 77 [-104] - 56
Red Kelly: 64 [-54] - 53
Red Kelly: 61 [-47] - 52
Red Kelly: 63 [-58] - 51
Red Kelly: 68 [-83] - 51
Red Kelly: 58 [-95] - 39
The comparison is actually not as close as I had expected. The offensive gap between Coffey and Kelly is likely greater than the gap between Kelly and the next best offensive defenseman (Potvin?, Bourque?, Shore?, Clancy?), and this is completely ignoring the time Kelly spent at left wing.
