Stephen said:You have Alexei Yashin, Sergei Gonchar and Brad Richards above Scott Niedermayer. That alone is enough to completely undermine your formula for ranking these players. You're only looking at numbers and you completely ignore more intangible things. I can only imagine how you've managed to skew and overrate 'past greats' just by looking at numbers and ignoring everything else.
Actually if you remember Yashin's days in Ottawa, for a time he was quite dominant. I don't remove credit for not playing as well in the future. I am quite sure that Niedermayer will pass Yashin and Gonchar on the list by the end of this season or next. Perhaps he will pass Richards as well.
