do i even want to ask what you're basing that on?
if i'm following this thread correctly, the three 1950s years delvecchio wans't playing with howe, he made the all-star team.
did chris kunitz sniff the all-star team when he wasn't playing with crosby? hell, kunitz played two full seasons on the penguins before last season, one of which saw his center malkin win the art ross by a large margin, and didn't sniff an all-star team.
EDIT: to clarify, i meant the mid-season all-star team. but in those years, delvecchio also made one post-season second all-star team, finished 7th in goals once; 2nd and 6th in assists; 4th, 9th, and 8th in points. and we're talking about chris kunitz?
To be clear I'm not comparing Alex to Kris but rather the fortune each player had, compared to say Francis when he played in Hartford.
Instead a lot of focus on Francis is Kunitz like and seems to underscore actually what an accomplished player Ron was before and after his years with Jagr.
