Does Lindros come with injuries? If not, then its him by a serious landslide.
Disagree here, an injury free Lindros is fun to speculate about, but he still would be in tough against Hasek. Hasek separated himself from his peers over a 7/8 year stretch like not many can do and one of his direct competitors is a slightly passed his prime contender for best goalie of all-time (Patrick Roy). Two harts, 2 lester B Pearsons and 6 Vezinas, Lidstrom definitely didn't come close to that, there is no debate for Lidstrom here. He didn't peak anywhere near Hasek. Lindros on the other hand was dominate during his best/healthy years, but not to the degree Hasek was. I think Hasek beats out a healthy Lindros too.
Hasek was putting up SV% in the .930 range in the early 90's when numbers like that were completely unthinkable on a team that was meh. The average SV% league wide was below /around .900 and Hasek was consistently putting up numbers of .920+, in fact .920 was his lowest over a 6/7 year stretch. He was sick.
