Lindros rather than Foppa. Datsyuk and Henri Richard in a way too.
You can not be serious.
After Gretzky and Lemiuex, Forsberg is the best ever.

In what universe is Forsberg better than Gordie Howe? Hell, he was not even "the best evah" on his own team.
Forsberg put up more points than Howe when looking at ppg, and forsberg did this in a time where hockey was way better. If Forsberg played in Howe*s time he would probaly have 2.0 in ppg. I dont see how Sakic is better than Forsberg. Forsberg did all Sakic did but with higher ppg and more grit.

Better than what "time"? The 40s, 50s, 60s, or 70s? Cuz Howe played in all of these eras that are somewhat different from each other. He played 1924 total NHL games, which is 2.2x more than Forsberg's 859. More than twice the number of games!Forsberg put up more points than Howe when looking at ppg, and forsberg did this in a time where hockey was way better.
Except he didn't win a Conn Smythe like Sakic has, and was not second in Selke voting, like Sakic was. Also, are you sure about that 2 PPG? Maybe it would've been 3? Or 6? Would "50s Foppa" score every time he set his (oft-injured) foot on the ice? Of course all these points would have to be assists, because it's unlikely he would've broken a 30 goal mark in a lower scoring era. Most likely, he would've broken his foot again.If Forsberg played in Howe*s time he would probaly have 2.0 in ppg. I dont see how Sakic is better than Forsberg.

I never got to really see Bobby Clarke in his prime, but I always felt he has to be in he conversation for "most complete" player...... Would that make him one of the most complete players?
would go with howe here AINEC
theres not a single flaw in his career
No comprende senor... you cannot possibly be comparing Clarke to Crosby..... c'mon here. night & day. completely absurd.

I would put Lindros and Fedorov above Forsberg though, but he definitely deserves to be mentioned.
Lindros could be argued better offensively than Forsberg, but then you'd struggle to rank Fedorov ahead of Forsberg in that aspect.
Compared to the big 4, his insane peak was rather short, and not as high as Orr's.
Amazing that so many players are being touted, but little mention of Orr as the complete player. What was Orr not great at?
I would not.
I would on the other hand struggle putting Lindros ahead of either of those guys in terms of offensive skill.
Fedorov's offense is very underrated here. Few guys could make the plays he DID make. And Lindros was not one of them.
If anyone by chance didn't get to watch Fedorov too often, I strongly encourage them to watch this:
I understand that judging players by highlight reels feels flimsy, but when a highlight reel runs for an hour, that in itself should tell you something.
Even offensively, Fedorov could be argued over almost anyone. These two guys included.
