Pretty much all of them, maybe Forsberg's insane playoff performance might prop him up.

I was starting to wonder when the next How Awesome is Connor McDavid? thread would drop.

Thanks.

Thanks.

Kind of an offshoot of illpucks' thread about his HHOF chances if he retired today... except I'm asking about after this season if he sweeps the awards.

All of them. There is an argument to be made with Datsyuk and forsberg though.

Probably should make this a multiple-vote poll, because otherwise it has just turned into "which of these players is the worst"

 

[amnesiac]

change it to multiple choices

Fixed.

I said all of them.

Your welcome. Some McD threads need to be here or all of the threads will be Matthews ones.....

Kinda hard to take him over people who've won cups.

Cups are team achievement, it as nothing to do with individual success.

Neely, Lindros, Bure and Kariya for me. Dats and Foppa have multiple cups and important playoff performances to go along with their careers. McDavid needs bit more playoff experience to get past those guys.

He's clearly better player than any of the above mentioned.

 

[Rhaegar Targaryen]

All except Forsberg

On another note, Datsyuk is the most overrated player on HF, damn. The guy isn’t even a career point per game and never had a 100 point season, while playing on absolutely stacked teams. McDavid’s career is already better than his.

Really? Then why do people always bring it up?
I think you couldn't be further from the truth.
If you're great, you inspire greatness and you ultimately win more cups.
Simple as that.

Yes, only back-to-back Selke-winning 97-point seasons.

 

[Mickey Marner]

Definitely not Forsberg. Lindros and Datsyuk are debatable. The rest are already in his rearview.

Agreed. Chris "4 cups" Kunitz > Crosby.

“Nothing.”

Keep telling yourself that.

Well if we're getting serious, then I guess I gotta bring out the big guns.
Zack Stortini was a better fighter than Ryan Reaves and then Reaves surpassed Stortini by passing him in career PIM.
Seriously, this place is looking more like reddit every day.

I don't even know who that is. You're the one who brought up the ridiculous notion that you have to rank players based on cups. Gretzky only has 4 cups, Beliveau 10. You think Beliveau is better?

From the players listed. Datsyuk has 2 cups. I'd still easily take Lindros, Bure and McDavid ahead of him all-time.

None. Zero.

Teams win cups. Not players.

Teams consist of 20-30 players.

People mention it because they can't differ team awards from individual. Awards. That's on them, but I'm not falling for it.

Lecavalier was not a better player or leader than Alfredsson because he was able to captain his team to a cup and Alfredsson wasn't...I'm sorry you think that way though.
