Interesting comment flyers have way more playoff wins than us in the last 20 years let alone 10 one of the best young defenses in the NHL a, one of the best prospect pools and their oldest player is 31 and still producing well.

If they are in a 20 year rebuild the canucks are in a 40 year.

I think 3 of Bennings 4 best trades have occured in the past 12 month Motte, Leivo, Pearson.

Hes getting better at this professional scouting thing.

Better?

In other news Ovi hits 45 goals and sets record for most 45 goal seasons in NHL history with 10.

Greatest goal scorer ever.

1997 is more than 20 yrs ago and at least the Nucks take them to 7 games

numbers don't lie , but i would say that Bossy with todays sticks would be as good if not better

Possible for sure but i think the defenseive systems and goalies of today make a bigger difference than sticks.

How many other players hit 50 goals during Bossy's 9 years ? That trumps any argument for me. Bossy was amazing but he wasnt the same level above his peers as Ovi is.

Every player has the advantages and disadvantages of their era. Neither Bossy nor Ovi had to put up multiple concussions because Suter liked to cross check you in the mouth, or Scott Stevens liked to lead with an elbow to the head.

Would be interesting to see if he would without lockoutd and KHL seasons to begin his career. 2.5 extra seasons would give him another 75-100 maybe.

Edit.129 using his goals per game average.
