It's hard for me to look past the fact that he's never done 50 in 50 but then again neither has anyone else for the past 20+ years. How do you evaluate him against guys that played 50 years ago like Richard and Hull, or pass-first guys who also scored shitloads of goals like Gretzky and Lemieux? I would say he has passed up the Espositos and Selannes of the world, maybe even Mike Bossy though that is a very tough one. Definitely of this era he is the best and it's not even close. This will be his eighth Richard Trophy (!) and he does it from all over the offensive zone.
