Taking the Rookie direct from his 1978 debut season and transposing him into the 2024 NHL Draft, can this Wayne Gretzky obtain the status of 'The Great One'

A great video! Would love you to bring back Dainius Zubrus back into the modern NHL!

Thanks. If the video does well I can see other What If’s being made

Enjoyed this! Something different and really goes to show just how freakish he was in real life. Maybe worthwhile doing a career re-run (if poss) in his era, stick him at the oilers etc - can he repeat it?

[@Jizmochan]

I may revisit it in the future. Pondering what else might make a good what if. Maybe what would have happened if the Islanders disappeared when Spano ‘brought’ them

@@Jizmochan That would be good! What about Tony Hand and if he stayed in NHL & never got homesick. The Scottish Gretzky 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Getagrip... Gretzky was never the fastest skater... McDavid would blow his doors off... However, Gretzky was a very, VERY dynamic skater... He used to 'rocker' his blades and this gave him, 'The shortest turning radius in NHL history' ... He also had unparalleled vision and anticipation... with an uncanny ability to know where hsi team mates would be, seemingly before they did... The greatest forward of all time, better than McDavid, SANS DOUBT... Better than Orr, in terms of pure, off the charts talent? I would say no, 2nd only to Orr... But it's debatable...
