Typical malevolent, devious & vile Maple Leafs fan
If you were constructing your very own list of the top 300 players in NHL history (weighed more toward career than talent level but taking both into account), would the following players make the cut?
I don't expect too much deliberating here. I just want people to think about what type of a player they would probably have at the 500 position, and then to decide if each of these guys would be worthy of making the cut...
I'm interesting in creating a top 500 players of all-time list (or top 300 or so since 1967) and would like some input from the members of this board.
I browse the History of Hockey section of HFBoards daily. I enjoy reading the takes of the regulars here... some knowledgeable hockey fans for sure...
Here's the list of players to consider. Please say "yes," "no" or "maybe." If you would put the player in the top 400 but not top 300, please say so. If you'd place him in the top 500, please indicate that. If you wouldn't have him in the top 500, please say so. I'm concentrating on forwards for now.
