Re: Generational Players?
Personally, I love the debate and would use different categories and definitions, and include defensemen and goalies. You could increase the thresholds below I suppose if they are too wide for you but this is generally how I think about it.
Generational: demonstrated elite performance (top 2-3 player in their F/D/G position) for a consecutive 10 years or more. Truly a short list.
Elite: top 2-3 player in their position for 5+ years
------------------------------- (HoF line)
Great: top 20 player in their position for 5+ years
Good: top 50 player in their position for 3+ years
Obviously, I place longevity and consistency as a marker of greatness. Hardware and awards doesn't matter as much to me.
