Messier is not in the same group as Lemieux, Gretzky, Orr. He was nowhere near as gifted a player. He was a great player, leader and all but skills-wise he's clearly 2nd tier. Those three players had natural skills so elite that it's entirely possible we may never see again that's how good they were.
