RMH easily

 

[82Ninety42011]

With moves like this how can you not pick the veterans here who I clearly think are better anyway.

 

[KoozNetsOff 92]

Why are people acting like JR was some great player? Never made an AST or sniffed hardware. Only 2x top 10 hart voting (5,10), 2x top 10 goals (3,10) and 2x top 10 pts (5,7). Eichel and Matthews will easily surpass him (Matthews already has better goal finishes). Modano wasn't anything special either. Only 1x 2nd AST, 3x top 10 hart (7,7,10), 2x top 10 goals (8,8) and 3x top 10 pts (8,9,10). Matthews will surpass him, Eichel maybe.

When it's all said and done, easily the 2nd trio

Kane
Hull
Matthews
Modano
Eichel
Roenick

 

[CanadienShark]

Younger trio.

1. They're better.
2. f*** Roenick. He sucks as person and is way overrated as a player.

 

[datboichoi]

Matthews boys easily

Roenick

At his very peak Roenick was pretty dominant. It didn’t last long though.

 

[Rhaegar Targaryen]

I had to vote the oldies because Matthews was a weak link. Hard to go against Kane, though.

 

[Maag80]

I understand that he is not in this comparison due to his short career, but Pat Lafontaine was a more talented center than Roenick.

What exactly is "pretty dominant" in your opinion?

 

[Gurglesons]

Kane is the best US forward in history at this point.

Matthews and Eichel likely jump Roenick and maybe Hull.

Brett Hull won a Hart and is one of the greatest goal scorers of all time. Kane vs Hull is still a debate. It's going to be very tough for either to pass him. It might be easier to pass Modano.

Rare to see Brett Hull being ranked as the best American forward. Kane is better though.

Rare to see Brett Hull being ranked as the best American forward. Kane is better though.

He was top on this list as of 3 years ago.

Ken Campbell ranks the Top 100 NHL players of all time - TheHockeyNews

Hull, will always finish very high due to the Hart and crazy counting stats, being one of 8 players to hit 700 goals. I fully get the argument for Kane, just knowing how a lot of these all-time lists are done by publications and hockey historians, it is still a debate

Hull had to cheat to get his Cup OT Winner. Kane's goal was so slick no one even knew he scored. Kane by a mile.

I'm with you on Roenick, but think you are underselling Modano and Hull compared to Kane and Matthews here.

What exactly makes Matthews the weak link? It was already mentioned how he's on track to be a better goal scorer than Roenick.

Hull has 2 cups neither from cheating.


Went the old trio.
I think Kane will be the best player of all of them when all said and done.
But think Hull and Modano outweigh the others

Something like
Kane >>Roenick
Eichel<Modano
Mathews<Hull

If you watched him play you know he was dominant. It’s not all about the stats.

lol. I think your post is +1 in argument of Kane - even though I prefer Hull myself.

Did you seriously quote some random dude's list for credibility- when that dude ranks Jagr, Beliveau and Hasek above Orr, Lemieux and Howe? That's hilarious.

Right.

He's not. That poster is just notoriously anti-Toronto. Not even the Leafs, Toronto in general.

I literally searched just the Americans and didn’t realize how ridiculous it was. I wish he was random, he was the chief editor for the Hockey News at one point.

That poster has an unhealthy and somewhat concerning anti-Toronto obsession. Don't take him seriously. Nobody else does.

Can we get a "Too soon to tell" option? The potential is there but anything can happen over 15 or so years, injuries etc. I'm a huge Matthews fan but he and Eichel got a long way to go. Kane the proof is already there he has for sure proven himself in the tier of Roenick/Modano/Hull.
