Or Compare Mike Bossy to Kurri. They are very similar. Compare the first ten seasons of Kurri's career with Bossy's full ten year career. Both played on great Dynasty teams. Both while great on their own had teammates in Trottier, Potvin, Coffey, Messier, Gretzky who were better or at least won more trophies. Both played in the same high scoring era, both played a ton of playoff games. Both made the playoffs in all 10 seasons. Both had an incredible level of sustained dominance.
Bossy led the NHL in goals twice. Kurri once. Kurri led the playoffs in goals 4 times, Bossy 3, plus Bossy led the playoffs in scoring once. Kurri averages 56.6 goals per year and 124.5 points and Bossy 65.8 goals and 128.6 points per season including playoffs.
Bossy won one Smythe trophy and 3 Byng trophies. Kurri won 1 Byng trophy. Bossy is an 8 time end of year All-Star while Kurri is a 5 time All Star.
Clearly Bossy has the edge but Bossy is 31st on your list and Kurri is 138th. There is not nearly that big of a difference between the 2 in my opinion.
