go for it
Lindros most common linemates during his peak year: LeClair, Renberg
Malkin most common linemates during his peak year: Neal, Kunitz
Im trying to be as fair as possible by not using Malkin’s 2009 season+playoffs linemates.
do you hold leclair and renberg in higher regard? Because leclair never scored more than 25 goals when he wasn't a linemate of Lindros. Lets not be confused why john leclair put up the points he did.
He still fairly contributed while Lindros was injured, while Neal did not when Malkin was out. The system of Montreal didn’t fit him very well. I also could go on and say that Neal never broke 60 pts after his tenure with Malkin. The only thing that helped him being a decent offensive player was his shot.
leclair went from a 25 goal scorer to a 50 goal scorer with lindros.
And kept that level of production even when Lindros was injured... there must be a reason why the 3 formed the Legion Of Doom..
So did Forsberg and he was still first ballot inducteeThat’s because injury cut his career short.

no he did not my friend. after flirting with triple digits , leclairs point totals plummeted. No coincidence it coincided with Lindros missing a big chunk of the season. I lived through that era, i saw the man pump up pat falloon, Daigle all sorts of fodder.
Any numbers to back this up? He was arguably the 2nd best offensive force in his five year prime. There is nothing about his playoff resume during that time that points to him being that much less effective in the playoffs.
In case you missed these stats before:
Here is his best five year span:

4th in points, 3rd in PPG (right behind Jagr)

Yeah it's not like malkins playoff legacy doesn't anihalte what lindros didPrime Lindros was heads and tails above Malkin. Not even close
Forsberg > LindrosDo people seriously use the hall of fame argument? That place is a joke.

i see those linemates as pretty even, really. Leclair is the best, but Neal is not wayyyyy offf, and Id take Kunitz over Renberg. Renberg has no fame without being big and on that line. He accomplished little without them.Lindros most common linemates during his peak year: LeClair, Renberg

YupI think Lindros was better at everything. Faster, better passer, better shooter, harder shot, better skater, bigger, tougher, better playmaker, better hitter, better defensively and better overall hockey IQ and vision.
If we're talking peak only.
No its not like that at all. Brady Anderson wouldn't be comfortably beating Mike Trout in a poll on a respectable baseball forum.saying lindros is better than malkin is like arguing brady anderson was a better baseball player than mike trout
