If you look through all the guys who entered the league between the first and second lock-out It is Thronton, Iginla, B Richards, and Kovalchuck. Then everyone else. (honourable mention to Alfie who entered the league right after the lockout I think?)

For me it is not a reach to say currently Iggy is the best player of his era.

Sakic is at best #4 of the guys who entered the league in the 10 years before the lockout. Mario, Jagr, StevieY. and there is still Hull, Gilmour, Selanne, Recchi, Modano right there with Sacik.

It really hard to compare players from the mid 80's with players from the mid 90's. But if you don't think Iginla's individual career has been on the same level as Sakics you haven't been watching.
