    for sure, best way I would say people rate these teams is by cup winning capability, factoring in the likes of leadership and well rounded-ness of roster(s). There will be a tendency towards superstars galore of course.

    Welcome Luigi! Lets-a go!

    Yeah I see 'greatness'/contributing to their team winning in the NHL as the main ingredient in how I will rank guys. I'm not gonna break it down multicat style or anything like that - too much cross-era stuff to worry about. The greatest players tended to be the most productive of their era and win the most trophies anyways so there's definitely major 'fantasy' overlap anyways IMO. The only fantasy aspect is that there are roster limitations so we might see people going higher or lower than how 'great' they are in the pantheon of NHL players. Am I right on this approach PH? That's what I imagined the draft being about.

    12 team H2H Most Cats Wins; Keep 6/winner keeps 7; G A PPP +/- SHP SOG HIT BLK PIM // W SV GAA SV% SHO
    3 C, 3 LW, 3 RW, 6D, 2G, 5 bench

    C - McDavid, Crosby, Tavares
    LW - DeBrincat
    RW - Meier, Miller
    D -
    G - Jarry

    Just a caveat that there could be some really high end Soviet players that came over only after the USSR collapsed so their NHL numbers might be lower than truly reflects their greatness! Same applies to European players who didn't start coming over until the 60s.

    Gretzky vs Lemieux.

    Sure, Gretzky has his all-time points record, and I’ll not really argue that he’s a quality #1. BUT:

    For all-time points, Lemieux is 8th, yeah but points per game? Gretzky 1.92, Mario 1.88. Lemieux played 915 games, no other top-35 player for points was under 1100.

    Goals per game? Lemieux 0.75, Gretzky 0.6

    Teammates in HOF Wayne>> Mario Did Mario NOT make people around him better? Doubtful. Did Gretzky truly benefit from a more skilled ensemble? Likely.

    I submit Mario Lemieux as a true 1A, rather than 2nd pick.
    CONDORS, 2022-23 league champions, Reg Dunlop Mem Cup

    12-team, H2H. Keep 12, but drop 2 of top four skaters, and also 2 of next six, then five more (from end-of-year rankings). One GK max.

    Stutzle, Sergachev
    Keller, Doughty, Verhaeghe, ErikssonEk
    E.Lindholm, Barzal, J.Gaudreau, Huberdeau, S. Wright
    Gustavsson
