Then you have guys who were likely at their best elsewhere, but at least made some impact for the Wings: Dionne, Hasek, Coffey, Hall, Chelios. Then you have "Hall of Very Good" players like Osgood, Konstantinov, Gallant, Ogrodnick, Vernon. Yeah, it's a pretty nice all-time roster. I think only Montreal and Boston could compete with it (maybe Edmonton as well. It doesn't have the same depth, but prime Gretzky, Messier, and Coffey gives you a chance against anyone).

jean marc Giroux if Huberdeau and especially Barkov were half as good as everyone on this channel thinks they are then they would’ve made the playoffs more than once in the last decade. Jokinen’s best teammate most seasons was either Jozef Stumpel or 21 year old Nathan Horton and he made the playoffs once for the panthers too.

It's a debatable argument between Howe, Lidstrom and Yzerman.

[@aeichhor777]

Lidstrom and Stevie Y are both up there for second, but Howe was Howe, no one else on that team was close.

[@Rodanguirus]

Lidstrom is my favorite athlete of all time, but it's really tough to argue with Howe. 6 MVPs, led the league in scoring on 6 occasions, an ambidextrous shot , a huge physical presence on the ice, and one of the few players that can challenge Lidstrom in longevity (he not only played 25 seasons with the Wings alone, but he was an All-Star for 22 of them, and his latest MVP came 17 years into his career). Also, had the Conn Smythe existed during his Cup wins, he likely wins '54 and '55 (and he was injured in the '50 semifinals, so it's not his fault for failing to shine in that Cup win).

Then get all defensive when someone calls out your bullshit? Hahaha you're funny guy! Also, I never said that Mario worked harder on the ice. I was disagreeing with you calling him a slacker. And I can assure you that there are players that have "out worked" Gretzky during their respective careers. Gordie Howe comes to mind and well, the actual greatest player, Maurice Richard. I highly doubt that Gretzky would have soldiered on like Maurice did during the 40s and 50s. I'm not discrediting Gretzky whatsoever, I'm just giving credit where it deserves to be given. Without Maurice's hard work, strong values and opinions, determination and perseverance, we wouldn't have had a Lemieux, a Gretzky, a Béliveau, a Crosby, an Orr and even to an extent, a Howe. Richard is the OG superstar of the NHL and he paved the way for making the safety of the players a priority so that players like Gretzky would be able to perform like he did.

These are very good picks but there are a couple I disagree with but I will say that the players you chose would be in 2nd place on my list. I would have Maurice "Rocket" Richard for Montreal over Jean Beliveau and Bobby Hull over Stan Mikita for Chicago. I consider Hull to be one of the top 5 NHL players overall yet he never seems to enter the "super elite status" conversation in the same way that Gretzky, Orr, and Howe always do. He dominated the NHL during the 1960s, winning the Art Ross Trophy three times and the Hart Trophy twice and was the first player to score more than 50 goals, doing it three times, plus he also had a season with 77 goals in the WHA. Stan Mikita did not become a star player until he turned his game around from being a dirty player and a pest into a clean, respected Lady Byng player. Hull was great for most of his career. Also, as a Leafs fan, I am happy that you picked Dave Keon as #1. Did you know that in 2017, to honor the Leafs' 100th anniversary, Keon was chosen as the #1 player in the Top 100 Leafs players of all time? So that was a good pick.

The "no longer current franchises" you mentioned as examples are ALL still current franchises, they just moved. Quebec Nordiques -> Colorado Avalanche Hartford Whalers -> Carolina Hurricanes Winnipeg Jets (original) -> Arizona Coyotes Atlanta Thrashers -> Winnipeg Jets (current incarnation) Colorado Rockies -> New Jersey Devils Atlanta Flames -> Calgary Flames Minnesota North Stars -> Dallas Stars I think that covers all the current teams' moves and re-brands. EDIT: With all that being said, I'd say the picks were all solid picks. For the Canucks I'd personally pick Pavel Bure. The Sedins are amazing, but for pure talent and production when he was with the Canucks, The Russian Rocket was a legit game breaker who did unbelievable things with the puck, and was was the best puck handler for the speeds he'd be typically going at. Back to Back 60 goal seasons to follow up a Rookie of the Year award. He only fell off the 60 goal mark the next season because it was strike shorted and he only had half games to work with and after that suffered a career altering knee injury to a Brian Marchment knee lock (ala Ulf Samuelsson on Cam Neely). If you were to take into account the time when the Avalanche were still in Quebec, then I'd also consider Peter Statsney a strong candidate for their franchise GOAT, though Joe Sakic started his career there when they were at their worst and the next best player 1 year was Michelle Goulet with less then 40 points to Joe's over 100. I'd have personally held the 2 iterations of the Winnipeg Jets as separate franchises though as they actually are. Howerchuck was part of the Jets/Coyotes franchise and had nothing to do with the franchise you attributed him to, though he is a great pick for a GOAT or honorable mention for that franchise, though I'd probably go with Doan overall too. The 2nd coming of the Jets (Thrashers/Jets franchise), though they may hold the same name, is a completely different organization. IMO Howerchuk was a very bad pick since he never played for that organization. How can he be a GOAT for a team he played 0 seconds for? That pick should have been from someone who actually played for them.

[@bobbycooper2530]

Why not add the time with the same Franchise? Sakic played for the same Franchise his whole career, just because the Nordiques moved doesn't make it a different Franchise... Same with both Winnipeg teams, Arizona moved from Winnipeg but it's still the same Franchise history... Same with Atlanta moving to Winnipeg... Hartford to Carolina Minnesota to Dallas... It's odd to just erase what they did for the whole franchise just because they moved locations... No offense meant, it's just my opinion

For me, Pavel Bure is the best Canuck ever... only one I disagrees with tbh.

[@kevintennert5290]

That's a good one too. Many also believe that Marcus Naslund is the greatest Canuck since he's the one who pulled the Canucks out of the 90s slump (after 1994) and brought them to the level they are today.

[@generoberts9151]

I agree. Kind of the face of the classic Canadian era.

[@ericl1332]

Agreed. Jean Beliveau is certainly one of the greatest players of all time, but Maurice Richard is the cornerstone of the Montréal Canadiens franchise, he is more than just a great player, he is a legend. And think that Guy Lafleur is also another great player. Lafleur, Beliveau and Richard are to hockey what Mantle, DiMaggio and Ruth are to baseball.

This may have been my only objection, the hockey sweater all the poor misguided kids wanted a #9 Richard sweater...

The rocket scored more goals in a HABS jersey than Beliveau and Lafleur. All three were great and are always ranked as the three greatest by Montreal media. The Rocket has the mystical effect and rises to the top.

i agree that crosby isn't close but saying jagr isn't close is a stretch. but since its best player for each franchise it would go to lemieux, jagr was a goat though.

[@bizzcola1]

@@marlinbradley3815 Glad to see Jagr is remembered at his fair value. Late 90s early 2000 he was dominant when scoring was at an alltime low. Finished 2nd alltime in points yet plyed 4 years in Russia when still young...It's just that Mario is somewhere else imo. We all know what Mario did, but look at his points per game the year he came back (2000-2001). Hes alone up there. Compare his ppg 95-96 with Jagr that same year (Jagr had 149 points!!). And I just remember him being so dominant.

[@wildfirev]

I would argue about the Winnipeg Jets being technically the same franchise, as the original Jet's team went to Arizona and the Coyotes are still a team in the league. However, I do appreciate that you included the original team in the deliberations fort he GOAT player.

[@101JuventusFan]

The Rocket > Any Hab ever. Beliveau was phenomenal, but come on, The Rocket scored over 500 career goals in an era where scoring 300 was almost impossible. The man was the heart and soul of the Habs from day 1 of his career till his last. I mean, its more than a coincidence that the Habs went from winning 5 straight cups in the 50s to missing the playoffs as a whole the next year he decided to hang up the skates. I don't think the Habs will ever have anyone come anywhere close to The Rocket ever again, and they had many great players after him too

[@chevelle1]

Great video, but why not include both cities for the relocated teams? Team history in terms of stats and so forth always do. Also, the old Winnipeg Jets are the Coyotes, current Jets: Thrashers. Etc etc. Great content though, keep up the good work buddy 👍
