During his prime Clarke was always the clear cut best offensive player on his team. The same can't be said of Nighbor...on the other hand Nighbors teams were more successful...both of these can be attributed to different team situations. Tough call.
This is true, Nighbor spent a large part of his prime (but not all of it) with Cy Denneny. On the other hand, it is easier to be the clear cut best offensive player on your team post-expansion
And when Clarke's team won their Cups, Bernie Parent was playing as good as any goalie ever played all time, while I don't think Clint Benedict was ever that important to any particular Cup run in Ottawa (while having a better career than Parent overall).
