I'm personally no Jagr fan, and wouldn't say he's the greatest ever, but his accomplishments probably stand up to anyone's. He was the best player in the league... in the 90s! And he's still a pretty decent player. He's put up unworldly numbers despite playing nearly his entire career through the 'no offense' era in the NHL (which persists). I guess he hasn't won many Cups, but man, offensively, there aren't many players better in the history of the sport I'd wager.
He was great as a rookie... almost 25 years ago!!

He's not even the 2nd or 3rd greatest player in history.
