Crosby at 6 really jeesh I'm sorry he's not even the best player on his team every year for last few. I'm sorry great player but way over rated. I personally don't think Crosby is any better then Sakic, Yzerman, Messier and a lot more players. Doug Harvey if I have to pick a name left but really how do you compare different era's so many good players on that list.

Went with Richard, but there were about 4 or 5 names who you could easily convince me should have been ahead of him (Hull, Mikita, Beliveau, Shore).

"We want the Rocket!"

Whether or not you have him in the top 5-6 is purely subjective but it's an insult to Crosby to claim that he was no better than Sakic or Yzerman. He's top 10, without a doubt.

I will take the greatest goal scorer of all time over any other goal scorer.

Only two questions remain for him:

How many Rockets can he still win?

Can he pass Gretzky's goal total?

His best season isn't better than either of theirs, but he has more very high-end seasons than both.

Sorry but he's way over rated to me. He might be one of best today but all time sorry not close for me. Messier, Sakic and Yzerman I saw and they to me were actually better. This is my opinion. Your entitled to yours.

Ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhh- true *but* Hart voting patterns were very different before the Norris was introduced. Dmen did much better in voting than they did afterward. I wouldn't put Shore ahead of guys like Harvey, Bourque, or personally even Potvin or Lidstrom.

I *don't* think he's top 10.

I *do* think he has separated himself from Sakic and Yzerman, though.

I feel like Brett Hull should at least be on the list - 4th all-time in goals, 23rd in points, and had an 86-goal season (only Gretzky had more in a season).

Malkin has been better than Crosby in 3 seasons of their careers
