I think Karlsson & Chara are equal in terms of peak performance & overall greatness. Karlsson was the way better skater but Chara was the better shutdown defenseman with more physicality & edge in his game. However, I think Karlsson deserved the 2016 & 2017 Norris trophies. That would’ve ended the debate.

Yeah agree with all those. However, I would take prime Keith though. For me, he’s the best defenseman of the salary cap era (minus Lindström).

I’m curious why you’d take Draisaitl over Malkin. Personally I think Malkin’s skill level is higher, he’s more physically intimidating & plays better defensively? But Draisaitl puts up more points.

Yeah agree on most. However, may I ask why you think Eichel & Draisaitl are better than prime Geno? I feel Geno is more skilled & physically gifted than both of them. At his best, he can take over an entire playoff series by himself.

Malkin takes WAY too many penalies and I would just like to have Eichel and Draisaitl over him

Look at karlssons teams though. He was on a legit contender one year his entire career (SJS last season).

Well Vegas fans would contest the 'greatness' of the SJ club and in 2016-17 w/ OTT he got to within a goal of the finals losing to the flightless birds in seven games...

As of today - only one makes The Hall...

Can you explain to me why you picked Eichel & Draisaitl over prime Geno? I feel Geno is more skilled & physically gifted than both of them. At his best, he can take over an entire playoff series by himself.
