Pretty hard not to go with 7-time league leader Bobby Hull here.

Bobby Hull pretty unanimously in my opinion.

You can argue the order of the top 4, but i think its a clear top 4 above the rest.

 

[amnesiac]

Bobby
Bossy
Howe
Richard

add Lafleur

are you just doing a top 10 or...?

I'll add Lafleur next time.

Not sure how far the list will go. People usually lose interest after a while, but if the voting turn-out remains decent, I may do more than ten polls.

Bobby Hull here, 7 time Goal scoring leader, before going to WHL at 31 or 32 years old.

Bobby hull is the obvious choice but went with Bure as I really think he was a better "pure" goal scorer and yes that is a 100% subjective take.

Richard

The poll says greatest - not best. If it was best the order changes.

For greatest - Bure might make top 10 or he might not. He'd do better if we talked about best.

Hull
Bossy
Burr

For greatest - Bure might make top 10 or he might not. He'd do better if we talked about best.

I think there will be a ton of divergence on how people feel about the differences between greatest and best as both are open to subjective interpretation.

Best can be viewed as a noun, verb, adjective and adverb and how one looks at can direct their viewpoint.

Greatest has similar viewpoints.

I think that Maurice Richard gets over rated as an overall player sometimes and maybe it's because this is the main boards but as a goal scorer he has a very strong case for top 5 and over Bossy without a doubt in my mind.

 

[Midnight Judges]

Mike Bossy doesn't have any business getting votes at this stage. The ONLY reason he is getting votes is because of the inflated scoring era he played in.

I'd have a hard time choosing between Bossy and Stamkos.
