Iginla was the better player for peak and overall didnt have elite linemates but still produced at high levels. His career ppg is low b/c he tried chasing a cup for the last 3 years or so. Sundin has elite consistency but I'll give the edge to iginla here

 

[Holymakinaw]

Iginla, easily.

Iggy.
The former Canuck, Sundin, had a great career too but not at the same level.

Iggy. Was robbed in 04, all real hockey fans know that's his cup. He was pretty much the perfect prototypical hockey player. Could score, hit, fight, amazing leader, pretty much did it all.

Iginla and I don't think it's really close.

 

[KoozNetsOff 92]

Iginla, not close.

What an odd poll........shut 'er down.

 

[Mickey Marner]

Similar calibre of player, Iginla had higher highs and lower lows.

How dare you forget about his legendary Nordique career?

Really? Sundin with 114 P. with Nordiques.

You have to remember era though. When adjustments for era are made, Iginla's three highest point totals are 110 (01/02), 107 (07/08), and 96 (06/07). On the other hand, Sundin's best adjusted totals are 97 (96/97), 95 (98/99), and 92 (92/93). Also, Iginla led the NHL in goals 2x, and points 1x, something Sundin never accomplished.
