Weight:

Six top ten assists finishes
One top ten points finish
Won a SC with the Hurricanes in '06
Placed sixth in Hart voting in '01
1033 points in 1238 GP
72 points in 97 playoff games


Brind'Amour:

Selke winner in '06
Selke winner in '07
Tenth in Hart voting in '06
Fourth in Calder voting in '90
Eighth in goals in '98
Won a SC with the Hurricanes in '06
1184 points in 1484 games
111 points in 159 playoff games



It's a case of somewhat better point production versus superior two-way play and goal scoring. I'll go with Brind'Amour. He was better in the '06 playoffs when the team they both played for won the Cups and had strong playoff runs in '97, '95 and '90 as well.

Brind'Amour has more personal hardware, which makes him the better player IMO.

Which really pains me as a Doug Weight fan.

Slight edge to Brind'Amour. Weight was a better offensive centre, but Brind'Amour was more versatile (could play LW or C) and was a very high end defensive player while Weight was just okay in that regard.

Don't have it in me to vote against Weight, he's my all time favourite player. Brind'Amour was an absolute beast though.
