I'm not a part of this project, so I don't even know if I should chime in here.
If I mentally put Fedorov into Kurri's spot (same age and all), riding shotgun to Gretzky, I can see similar individual and team results happening. On the other hand, I'm not sure if Kurri was capable of pulling off, that one special Hart/Selke season that Fedorov had with Detroit.
Oh, you can chime in for sure. There has been much worse contributions from non-participants, don't worry (and that's an euphemism)
First of all, Kurri was a winger, which makes things... different as to how it would've worked in Detroit. I mean, he could play center, but...
Second, okay for team results (... but keep in mind that Kurri was the Oilers' 4th best player), but individual results? Fedorov was never a big producer when he wasn't THE guy and, will all due respect to Fedorov, he wouldn't have been. He wouldn't even have been the second guy.
Third, Fedorov is a lot like Leetch, in that there's some tendency to assume he always played like he did during his one big season/moments. If it was the case... Fedorov would've been voted in a few rounds ago. I mean, I know I would've voted him in. But it was not the case, regardless of what his group of defenders would say.
Fourth, Mike's point regarding defensive insulation was really apt.
