Is P. K. Subban the best black player of all time by far?

 

[Burkeocet]

My pick is Iginla personally but PK was awesome to watch in his prime. Shame he fell off so hard.

Grant Fuhr is another who had a great career and that would probably be my top 3.

My top 4 -
Iginla
Subban
Fuhr
Byfuglien

Is P. K. Subban the best black player of all time by far?

Not far ahead of Jarome Iginla in my book. Not sure he's ahead at all.

 

[Albatros]

Rob Blake

It's Iginla

 

[crobro]

Iginla
Mackegny
Fuhr
Subban
Seth Jones

 

[LightningStorm]

Iginla comfortably. Subban and Seth Jones have had individual seasons that have stood out, but Iginla also had a great peak and was more consistent.

I'm half black myself, and have read up a little bit on Herb Carnegie. What a travesty his story was in terms of being shut out of the NHL. He should've been the first black player in NHL history.

 

[SkeeterPumpkinEater]

Oscar Möller

 

[JackSlater]

Iginla, but Andreas Lilja is underrated.

I don't get this one, little help?

 

[klefbombs shoulder]

Iginla and Fuhr are quite clearly better players than Subban all time.

 

[GMR]

Iginla
Lilja
Fuhr
Worrell/Laraque/Brashear
Subban

Fuhr

Agree with both points here.

Baseball has a well-known history of exclusion of black players after 1884 but hockey's history isn't squeaky clean by a longshot.

 

[SkeeterPumpkinEater]

Sorry. I meant WAYNE TRAIN

 

[JianYang]

It's hard to make a solid case for anyone not named iginla.

 

[Yozhik v tumane]

I’ve seen the Lilja being black claim before, I thought of asking but instead searched for the source of it.

Apparently, Peter Worrell once was arrested driving Lilja’s car, and told the cops he’s Lilja.

 

[MadLuke]

It really depends on who identify as black when they are multi-ethnic, if Iginla does I do not have anyone in mind that come that close, he is a clear first year of eligibly Hall of Famer, Art Ross winner at 24 that was still big deal when he was chasing cup more than a decade later that scored 625 goals despite peaking in the dpe.

He could very well be in the conversation to have been the best player on that 2002 team Canada gold squad with Sakic.
