Draisaitl-Gretzky-McDavid vs Jagr-Lemieux-Crosby

[illpucks]

Out of these two 3 pairings, which of these do you consider the better 3 pairing? In one 3 pairing you have the greatest player in Oilers history and 2 possible generational talents and in the other 3 pairing the 3 greatest players in Penguins history.

Lol at this point easily pens trio

 

[Luigi Lemieux]

Jagr-Draisaitl is a big mismatch here. Would be closer if Jagr was replaced with Malkin.

 

[pcruz]

One of these is not like the others. At all.

Replace Draisaitl with Moose or Coffey and I would have likely voted for Edmonton's trio.

 

[knifer]

I dont think you understand what the word pairings mean. Anyways Ill go with the Pens trio.

In what universe has Draisaitl surpassed Messier, Kurri, Coffey as Oiler all time greats?

Jagr-Draisaitl is a big mismatch here. Would be closer if Jagr was replaced with Malkin.

Or Draisatil with Messier

 

[Critical13]

I very rarely vote against Gretzky but the Jagr/Drai matchup is just absurd.

In what universe has Draisaitl surpassed Messier, Kurri, Coffey as Oiler all time greats?

Ya my first thought was to sub out Drai for Kurri or Messier.

 

[ThisIsMyAlibi]

Jagr Lemieux Crosby kills the other line.

 

[AnThGrt]

Jagr Lemieux Crosby kills the other line.

Really tough to come up with many better lines if one tried.

True but Messier is slow compared to Drai and less skill. Inserting a peak Wayne Gretzky with Edmonton's duo is a better option.

 

[Sasha Orlov]

I’m taking Gretzky blindly 100% of the time

 

[Ignatius]

Crosby might be better at centering Lemieux, either should be playing LW instead of GOAT RW Jagr.

 

[Sorry]

Crosby might be better at centering Lemieux, either should be playing LW instead of GOAT RW Jagr.

Crosby would definitely be the center on that line.

 

[nowhereman]

Gretzky at his best was better than Lemieux, while Crosby at his best was better than McDavid. But the differences aren't that wide. Certainly not as wide as the difference between Jagr and Draisaitl. For that reason alone, I'm going with the Pens trio.

 

[Steven Toast]

The Pens trio would often be injured, how many games in a season would they actually play all together?

 

[Son Goku]

Gretzky at his best was better than Lemieux, while Crosby at his best was better than McDavid. But the differences aren't that wide. Certainly not as wide as the difference between Jagr and Draisaitl. For that reason alone, I'm going with the Pens trio.

I'd say Gretzky and Mario were pretty even as far as in game impact. If it’s one game or a seven game series, you can’t really go wrong with either.

 

[NyQuil]

True but Messier is slow compared to Drai and less skill. Inserting a peak Wayne Gretzky with Edmonton's duo is a better option.

 

[Tad Mikowsky]

True but Messier is slow compared to Drai and less skill. Inserting a peak Wayne Gretzky with Edmonton's duo is a better option.

This is a bad take.

 

[Holymakinaw]

Had to go with Jagr-Lemieux-Crosby.

Gretzky is a God, but McDavid & Draisaitl really bring him down.

 

[Albatros]

In what universe has Draisaitl surpassed Messier, Kurri, Coffey as Oiler all time greats?

McDavid hasn't either.

 

[authentic]

Lol Messier was really fast in his prime, faster than Draisaitl is today.

 

[authentic]

Only way I would vote for Edmonton is if you switched Draisaitl to Messier and Jagr to Malkin but even then I still think I would take the Penguins trio.

 

[pcruz]

McDavid hasn't either.

This, I can disagree with.

McDavid hasn't won a cup yet, but he has, individually, done more than Kurri.

It's really unfair that his team is utter garbage around him, and not just in the short term either. All they've done is burn the start of his best years so far, and it doesn't seem to be changing any time soon.

McDavid will easily be looked back as the 2nd or 3rd best Oiler.

 

[DudeWhereIsMakar]

I personally prefer McDavid over Crosby.
But I also prefer Lemieux over Gretzky.

Was a hard decision but went with Lemieux.
