I don't see any way that it can be Richard. He's primarily a goal scorer (never won a scoring title) and he certainly wasn't a better goal scorer than Hull.
In the regular season, sure. In the playoffs, Richard outscored Hull by similar margins to what Hull outscored Richard in the regular season. And both these men played a significant sample size of playoff games (especially Richard).
Since Jagr is there, I'm throwing Forsberg into the mix.
Why on Earth would you do a thing like that? Even if Forsberg was as good overall as Jagr (and that's a big if), Jagr was significantly better offensively.
For arguments sake, is Orr really one of the 4 best offensive players of all-time? Are we going by raw results, or by offensive talent? Sure Orr might have had better offensive talent, but he was outproduced by Esposito. Most of the people discussed in this thread are being evaluated on results, moreso than raw talent.
Good point. There is certainly an argument for Orr as one of the 4 best offensive players of all-time, but I don't think it should be assumed as a given.
