Frankly, I rate Messier as closer to Mikita than to the rest. If you needed to win a game in the playoffs, is there a better choice than prime Messier? (other than the obvious Gretzky, Orr, etc guys)
I dont consider myself educated enough to form an opinion on a guy like Mikita but he seems to be at the top of the heap on most lists on this forum. Same with Schmidt.
In this hypothetical situation if you took Messier and I took Trottier, I wouldnt feel my team was at the slightest disadvantage. If I had Yzerman or Sakic I'd feel at a clear disadvantage. Clarke would be something of a wildcard for me. Tough to say whether I felt like I was even or behind.
