Jaromir Jaga is one of the greatest players to play the game. Had he not left the NHL for 3 years during his career, he would have had at least 750 goals. Mario had a great supporting cast as well, that's why they won back to back championships, so that argument of Wayne had more help. I disagree

Wendal was originally a defenceman, and should have stayed such. He was injury prone, but a legend in Toronto. Sundin was a born right-winger. Mis-used in Toronto as a Center, when he was a Mahovlich type winger. Won the Gold medal with Sweden and took the MVP in the Olympics in 2006...as a winger. A legend, and would have been better still if he was not underused by Pat Quinn.

Clark may not have been a true superstar, but he was an incredible top notch mix - the rarest, in my opinion - of top scorer, and top fighter/tough guy. What will likely never be equalled again (and probably only ever matched by Rick Tocchet) were crazy GOALs / FIGHTS statslines like . . . rookie season 86/87: 66gp, 34 G, 23 fights (+ 10 games, 5 goals and 5 fights in the playoffs!!!), 86/87 season: 37 goals, 30 fights (!!!) including all the heavyweights (Probert etc) in 80 games . . .it's absolutely an insanely tough hard to imagine season, and obviously a reason why his career was shorter. But 30 goals, 30 fights in a season - you will never ever see that again folks.

Mario supposedly broke guy lafleurs unbelievable records in junior pro hockey. Supposedly. Still? Though? Guy lafleur is still the only professional hockey player in history to have recorded 2 straight seasons of 100 goals or more in each season. And the only player to ever record two pro seasons of 100 goals or more, period. A few others accomplished it. I think pat lafontaine is one. But I can’t remember? Yet the interesting thing about Mario and guy is this. Despite Mario’s incredible final junior pro season? Guy is still the only player in history to be able to say he recorded 3 points a game in a pro league. Not even Mario can say that. As Mario ended up with 2.8 points a game scored on average . In his junior professional career. Now Considering what Mario accomplished his last junior pro season? That’s almost shocking. Lafleur still ended up ultimately with more points a game. Exactly 3 points a game recorded throughout his junior pro career. Including 130 goals in 62 games his last pro junior season. Lemieux got 133 in 68 games in Lemieuxs last junior season.’ That’s incredible. Though on the pace lafleur was on? In lafleurs last junior season? Lafleur clearly would have ended up with around 150 goals in the regular season. If lafleur had played 68 games. Like Lemieux. Which still blows Mario’s 133 goal junior pro record away.
