There's about a handful of players in the history of hockey that this might apply to and even then it is debatable.
The last one? Crosby. The next one? Possibly McDavid. All the rest? Just hype created by hockey junkies. You want to see the true value of a franchise player look at what Chris Pronger did for Edmonton. Not only elevated his play, but elevated the whole team. Success followed him around. Not many players like that.
