you can make a strong case for Jagr being the betetr offensive player though, as I proved in another thread.
Number of times Jagr led the league in goals - 0
Number of times Jagr was in the top five in the league with goals - 6
Number of times Howe led the League in goals - 5
Number of times Howe was in the top five with goals - 14
Number of Art Ross' Jagr won - 5
Number of Art Ross' Howe won - 6
Number of Times Jagr finished in the top five in points - 7
Number of Times Howe finished in the top five in points - 20
I can't see how anyone could make a strong case that Jagr was the same or better than Howe offensively.
