Oates vs. Gilmour: Hall of Fame

[Dark Shadows]

I'm going with Oates, despite of lack of accolades. Oates is a bit underrated, but arguably he is top5 playmaker ever. But this might be coloured because I just never liked "killer". I don't think Gilmour was very exceptionally great in any aspect of the game.

Because he was very well rounded. If anything, scoring goals was his weakness. But he was an outstanding playmaker, defensive forward, and exactly the kind of guy you wanted in the playoffs because of his heart, Grit and determination.

One of the best playoff performers you could ask for. If anything, that is what he was exceptional at.

I rank both of them very closely, but if I had to choose, Gilmour would be my pick.

Because he was very well rounded.

Jack of all trades, master of none. I agree it's very close, but Oates needs some more love.
