Shore now McDavid later. About 3-5 years I'd give it.

"Is" is different from could be, if the poll asks who should be placed higher in an all time ranking atm there is only one answer.

Im too young too fully appreciate Shore but I still feel comfortable voting McDavid. Sure McDavid is young but hes the best player at an extrememly young age in a league where the overall talent is at an all time high

 

[Pay Carl]

what a ridiculous question

a guy who .0001% of people on here ever saw play, and an amazing star who has only had two full seasons

with all due respect to OP who has been doing these forever, but I think we've finally jumped the shark here

Shore was way before my time but I think you have to give it to the guy with 4 Harts.

 

[ChiTownPhilly]

To be fair, the title states "best" and not greatest, meaning votes on ability and talent rather than achievements are justified

Ability and talent without achievements reminds me about what the Good Book says about faith without works. It's empty. Connor will fill that vessel eventually- not yet, though. Remember we're asking...

Who's the better player in an all-time sense?

...I think we've finally jumped the shark here

The Shark's not fully violated yet. And I'll do what little I can to rage against the dying of the light. But if we say that Connor is a "better player in an all-time sense" than Eddie Shore, we will not just have jumped The Shark, we will have given it a Zipless One.

It's hard to choose given all of there similarities. They even look a bit alike.

Crosby still can’t pass Morenz after 14 years in the hoh section but Mcdavid is passing shore by the age of 24?

I don't know, I'd say Crosby is comfortably a better all time player than Morenz.

McDavid would play about 8 seconds before being done for his career. Head to head Shore would murder him, even if the rules were the same as today. Take him out, take your penalty, continue on, that’s how the men used to play.

The HOH section is favoriting old-timers. By the end of his career, Crosby will most likely be at worst the 7th best player of all time and that’s only with a good longevity. Add in more personal hardwares and he has a really good shot at 5.

Shore would need to catch McDavid first...

You mean if he could catch him first? Players today don't skate head on to still defensemen like they did in the 1930s.

Pretty easy to say that from this side of the timeline. Throw our players into the 40’s with the same equipment, training, etc and you’re going to have a bunch of goons throwing down on this generations wussies.

As would I.
