When are Clarke and Lafleur going to get on here? Bobby won three Harts; Lafleur won three Rosses and two Harts. Eddie Shore won four Harts.

Lindros is arguably a top 10 player of all-time. The fact he's not even a voting option at this point is laughable

In terms of overall ability, maybe. In terms of career... no.

The poll question is "Who is the 18th best player?" Not "Who had the 18th best career?"

McDavid should already have been voted on as well

It is asking for 18th best (which is subjective and open to interpretation), but this is an-time rankings polls series and people generally put substance into quality of careers instead of just ranking players based on raw ability.

Lindros actually hadn't even been mentioned or suggested as a player to be added previously, but now that you've brought him up I'll add him if more people think he should become an option. Of course, there's always been an "other" option.

Would love to hear your opinion on who is the 18th best player of all time.

Morenz.... 3 Harts, the first generational player
Shore.... 4 Harts
Mikita.... 4 Art Rosses + 2 Harts

lacks hardware

 

[GlitchMarner]

Who wants Lindros to be added as an option for the next poll?

Lafleur has a convincing lead at the moment.

I can see his point though. Crosby and Ovechkin are voted 6th and 8th, and Malkin is only behind by a hair, if even that.

Given how modern biased this list seems to be I don't see why not Peter Forsberg.

Yeah, this list reeks of people that have only watched hockey the past 20 years.
