Don't think so. I don't like Lidstrom much for peak - it's not bad, just nowhere near top ~10-15 of all time. Even for playoffs - great overall, but Potvin has him beat there too. But his overall career value and consistency i believe are still no match for Potvin, or anyone else here.

Really fun polls by the way. Can't wait we get to a more controversial # though. Like 99 for example

Potvin seems like the only viable alternative to Nik but I feel more comfortable with him.

The double digits are probably the most strongly locked up. We Leaf fans are going to have a tough time convincing everyone Nylander is better than Lindros
