I say all around player and you reply with a PPG stat?
Trottier was astronomically better defensively and physically than Malkin.
We all know that. But it must be weighed against offense. Malkin won against Crosby and Ovechkin in their prime and or peak while recording maybe the best playoff run in the last 20 years. Was Trottier capable of that?
I think Malkin's PPG so far in his career is far more impressive offensively than what Trottier accomplished in the 80's (centering Bossy).
