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.

Iggy and St. Louis are a really good example of it all coming down to what you value. St. Louis has the cup but Iggy has the international medals, St. Louis has slighty better career ppg and notably better ppg in the playoffs, but Iggy has the longer career and higher point totals.
(Also, it feels kind of odd to put St. Louis ahead of Iginla based on that cup, when everyone knows that difference is based essentially on one goal.)
Personally I give St. Louis the edge at this point, because I think winning the Art Ross at 37, almost a decade after his first one, is the kind of stuff that HOF careers are made of. But since neither player is done, it's kind of a pointless discussion at this point
