I want to ask - what is the difference between Alfredsson (sure HHOF) and Hossa (need-more-accomplishments) ???
Goals: Alfie (8,9,9,9) // Hossa (4,4,5,5,6) + 2nd best scorer of the 2000´s to Iginla
Assists: Alfie (8) // Hossa (0), edge goes to Alfie, but Hossa is not bad too
Points Alfie (4,7,9) // Hossa (5,6), it seems to be even, both have one 100 points season
Both made All-rookie team and 2nd All-star once, edge goes to Alfie with Calder, again Hossa was not bad rookie, too
Defensive skills - both are superior, I would give edge to Hossa, but can see arguments for Alfie, even
PO - both have Smythe calibre loosing playoff, Hossa made three consecutives SCF with three different teams and finally won.
Career numbers - Alfie would be happy if he ends with 450 goals mark (great number), Hossa will probably ends with 500-550 goals. Hossa will have more points with lower PPG number maybe.
Hossa is still in middle of his prime, Alfie is very close to career end.
So please give me arguments why is Alfie SURE LOCK and Hossa must something do, when Hossa is in middle of his prime comparable and probably even with Alfie at end of his career???
Thanx.
Alfredsson - better playmaker, but Hossa is not bad, too
