Maybe if he could have stayed healthy.
From 90-98 (the years their careers overlapped):
Lafontaine: 276 goals, 637 points, 484 played
Modano: 277 goals, 654 points 633 games played
Lafontaine during those years scored ONE less goal and 17 fewer points than Modano despite playing in roughly 150 fewer games (almost 2 full seasons). Lafontaine didn't need to be healthy to produce at the same rate as Modano.
