BamBamCam you're excellent example of miserable unsuccessfull troll. Your attempt to continue your campaign against me with another horrible nitpicking ended very bad, altough not in a way you would like - you made a complete fool from yourself.
While I'm not always right with my opinions and you could completly tear me apart in prime or maybe career case for Selanne (if you would have some knowledge though), you've nitpicked the worst part, which was absolutely obvious.
You almost don't quote me, just mentions various misinterpretation of my quotes, not just in this thread. As for Fedorov's 1994 season - I've posted few people had better season than him. You tried to argue that I've said it was the best season ever. It's waste of time of arguing when you even don't read my posts.
Then you came with claim that is arguable Selanne 1993 was better. And then it went really fast...the most funny parts were neverending tries to back-up your absurd claims:
1. 1993 is not DPE, in fact it's the most offensive season in NHL ever - it shows that you just don't have knowledge, in fact you have no idea what are you talking about after you've tried to back it up.
2. You've accused me that I just read the stats and never saw these guys playing, which is absolut nonsense. If it would be true, I would be living in the bubble or would start to watch hockey just yesterday. In fact I was witness of almost their whole careers. What you would know if you have read my posts, I've stated multiple times in responds for your, that I started to watch NHL in 1994 which is more than enough time to eyetest both of them. Oh, I'm lost... Stats. In fact you're that one stat guy among us! 76 - goals campaign of Selanne was not even his best season. And then comes another miserable attempt to back it up with rookie nonsense.
3. You nitpick every my word, when someone nitpick yours, it's freakin' typo.
4. There's not much to say about your Elliot nonsense, just that you show again you're the one obsessed with stats. Not to say, I still can find the post where you knock off the table Jim Carey's season and you're now arguing with Brian Elliot?
5. Darth Yoda challenged you to name better seasons than Fedorov's one except the very best ones. You came with Gretzky season. Do you even read what are you asking of?
This the last time I answer to your direct responses on my posts. It's wasting of my time. You're able make a fool of yourself without my or anyone's effort.

I think it's absolutely clear the peak season goes to Fedorov and Selanne can't match it with his 1993 or 1998 seasons.
What is debatable is career and maybe prime. I think Selanne had better career, due to longevity, international success and was a high-end player for longer than Fedorov. I don't buy some Fedorov's KHL all-stars when Selanne played NHL at the time with more than respectable 30 goals and 80 points.
Prime is not that easy as it looks IMO. I consider Selanne's best years his Mighty Ducks time, say 1997-99. It's not a stretch to say he was TOP5 forward back then. Fedorov was basically a great 60 points center (2nd) playing Selke calibre defense. His time came during playoffs and his 4 20+ playoff seasons are his true prime.
What would happen if we swap them? Selanne's offensive production probably wouldn't be so great in Detroit and 3 SC with Selanne instead of Fedorov are highly debatable too, with Dallas and Colorado in the mix. What about Fedorov? He probably stays the same responsible forward on a line with Kariya, but his numbers would grow I'm sure.
So with a closer look I can see a case for Fedorov in prime debate.
