Who is the most underrated player in the history of the sport? Both men had great careers, have high ppg averages and 3 cups, yet they truly dont get the recognition they deserve.
People like bobby hull and bobby clarke repeatedly get called top 15 of all time players because they won a few mvp/scoring titles in thier careers. Yet people wont mention the fact that these two were lucky to play before the times of gretzky and lemiuex.
Steve Yzerman has a higher ppg average than bobby hull. He is a better defensive forward than bobby hull could ever dream of, he has 3 cups, bobby has 1. Yet bobby gets ranked higher? Why, is it because he won scoring titles and mvps when gretzky and lemiuex were not around.
The yzerman from 87-93 was a god damn monster. Take gretzky and lemiuex away from those eras and he would have a crap load of mvps or scoring titles.
The only way bobby hull beats yzerman is in goal scoring, thats it.
