The NHL 100 Team(s) - LW #3

[RipCityPuckers]

The NFL Network is currently airing a series that breaks down the top 100 players in NFL history by position. I'd like to do something similar here for the NHL. We will select our 100 players by position, which will give us 5 full 20 man rosters. The breakdown will be as follows: 20 LW, 20 C, 20 RW, 30 D, 10 G.

We will start with LW...

Feel free to comment with who you would like to be added to the next poll. Only 20 options will be listed at a time for left wing

Each poll will run for a maximum of 48 hours but if there is a clear and decisive leading choice before then, I will start the next poll

I am staying true to positions so no C's moving to wing and in a case like Ovechkin, a player who has spent the majority of his career at more than one position, his more prominent position will be utilized

I think there's a gap between Lindsay and the rest here.

Cy Denneny, Aurele Joliat and Busher Jackson, maybe 3 top-100 players and legit HOFers should probably be up for voting ahead of guys like Alex Tanguay and Gary Roberts.

 

[Trap Jesus]

I'd recommend putting some kind of statistical reference like this:

NHL.com - Stats

I don't know how many people are going to actually put time into their vote other than a gut reaction.

 

[Neutrinos]

John LeClair should be an option over guys like Roberts, Marleau and Tanguay

 

[bobholly39]

meant to vote for Ted Lindsay but misclicked for Doug Bentley
OP should allow to change votes, would be helpful.

 

[MXD]

Ted Lindsay.
And Add Aurlèle Joliat, who is no worse than 4th in this group (thus 6th overall)

 

[ThatsSoSlavin]

Meant to vote kariya, accidentally picked roberts

 

[amnesiac]

Lindsay
Mahovlich
Moore



add Denneny, Joliat, Jackson, Elias, LeClair, Gainey

Bellows, Propp, Roberts, Barber, Tanguay shouldnt make this list

problem with that is people will change their vote if they see their choice is not in the running

Seeing Robitaille almost winning this doesn’t bode well for the future of these polls

 

[RipCityPuckers]

Seeing Shanahan almost winning this doesn’t bode well for the future of these polls

Umm Shanahan has 1 vote?

 

[Ctrain2k]

Wow, apparently there haven’t been many good LW’s if this is there competition for 3rd best of all time.

Umm Shanahan has 1 vote?

Somehow instead of Robitaille I managed to type Shanahan

 

[wetcoast]

Somehow instead of Robitaille I managed to type Shanahan

It's easy to confuse the 2 since they were basically the same player....well maybe not.
