Doesn't have the goals, but the ppg is similar. Then St.Louis has the Hart trophy, 2 Art Ross Trophys, Pearson, and of course the Stanley Cup Iggy doesn't have yet.
Just shows how difficult it is to rank players over history, even when they are from pretty much the same generation.

Totally fair - the thought even crossed my mind, but I sort of put him below because I felt he didn't have any periods where he was as dominant as Iggy...but I also probably don't appreciate him enough based on where he plays (the exact same thing I would probably complain about with Iggy vs. Sundin - regional voter bias). The only other thing to trot out with St. Louis is quality of teammates...he's never had to be the main guy, or at least never the only guy (Richards, Lecavalier, Stamkos).
I think there is actually very little between the two of them...but I would still take either them slightly ahead of Sundin.
