Wow... didnt expect that big of a difference
Dont remember watching Mogilny, but kind of compared the signings since we got stars towards the end of their careers in both. I guess I need to go watch some Mogilny highlights
the strange thing is that Marleau might actually make it into the HOF but Mogilny will remain on the outside looking in.
talent wise, in their primes, Mogilny may have been the best Russian to come out of the Soviet Union and play in the NHL. better than Larionov. Better than Fetisov. Better than Fedorov. Better than Bure. He was seriously that good and even as he was approaching his mid-30s on the Leafs, he played an elite and complete game.
Mogilny was still as good as in his prime during the leafs years.
No, he was not. Not even close.
Top 15 in points(2003) during the absolute height of the dead puck era? What frog said was actually accurate.
No, it wasn't accurate. He was not "still as good as in his prime" in Toronto.
In his prime, he had seasons like scoring 76 goals and leading the league in goals. In his prime he had a 127 point season [B{(which would mean no Maple Leaf player in the history of the franchise would have scored more than him in a season.)[/B] He had 55 goals and 107 points as a Vancouver Canuck.
By the time he got to the Maple Leafs, he was still a very talented, dynamic player but to say he was "still as good as in his prime" is a ridiculous claim.
I'd take that Gary in a heartbeat right now and put him with Matthews.More like a poor man's Roberts, really. he's about as effective as Robert's was towards the end of his tenure with the Leafs.

Mogilny had exactly *2* crazy years where he overperformed like nuts, but he wasn't like a Pavel Bure. for instance. who could sustain more than a PPG or multiple 50+ goal seasons in a row his prime. Most of Mogilny's prime years, between 90-200 he was a PPG player who could be counted on for 30-40 goals when healthy. And, to be fair, he was that for the Leafs.
